Drop-Point Shootout Just Dropped - Benchmade at Blade Show 2024 

Why would they make the water line handles blue? That seems like the worst color you could choose for a water series

If it's not gonna cost a kidney, the drop point shootout is quite something to consider

Is there a real market of people taking $200+ knives out onto the water? Don’t most people use cheap knives on the water so it’s not a huge deal if they lose them? Wouldn’t the smarter thing be to make an economy line of USA water knives to tap into that market?

i am a big fan of benchmade but their prices are leaving orbit at this point i find myself reaching for the new husky utlity knife instead.

Legitimate question: have they fixed the failing tab in the Shootout? I had two different models fail multiple times each due to the same tab that holds a spring in place. I’d love to have one, but not until they address that very common failing.

Don’t expect the price to be affordable or cheap. This will be ridiculously priced.

Hey guys the 'links in the description' . . . did not get put in the description, it is just the place holders.

The Benchmade Intersect is cool and all. But, can you please make a larger 3" ~ 3.5" version, Benchmade ?? Thanks!

Once again benchmade demands your entire paycheck

I wlays used to mention Spyderco and Benchmade in the same breath. Now, Spyderco releases models in different colours, but each with a different steel that you know will have the best heat treating and performance on the market, Benchmade just release new colours of the same thing and pretend that people should be excited about it. (Also there are tests of the Water line that show them rusting pretty badly, and much worse than the same steel from Spyderco).

I have a 200 puukko aka my favorite knife id love to see another puukko style knife from Benchmade something like a mora 510 black or marttiini lynx

I don't really understand knife companies that continually reinvent the wheel…er, knife. Benchmade has produced some exemplary designs over the years, and then discontinued them in favor of weird stuff. The original Benchmade 100RR water knife was just fine, and I'm glad I got one 20 years ago with GIN-1 steel and G10 scales. I'm also really fond of my Benchmade 190 Drop Point Hunter and 192 Bird & Trout knives, and nothing in their current lineup is necessarily any better, just more expensive.

I must have an Adira.

I don’t like many of the newer models, I did just get a 945 and really like it… after I modded it… I still prefer my old mini griptilian

I would definitely buy a drop point Shootout. But im pretty sure it's gonna be like $400.

Not boring, just too expensive!!

You guys already showed the fixed blades, so nothing new from Benchmade.

Benchmade is to knives what liberty safes are to safe

Check it out... DCA has hand competition 😂😂

BM was my go to brand but they've lost the plot.

Funny how price points are never mentioned with BM. 😂 Overrated

is this Jon the same Jon that took over benchmade after Les Di Asis passed? I heard it was a close family member that took over.

Way to expensive for what it is....

The company has gone to crap since the old man passed and Jr took over.

What has happened to benchmade?

More like “Brokemade” amright?! ✋high five!

The glass breaker alone makes it worth the 🦋price!

They have totally lost it. Buy a Spyderco instead :)

Let the overpriced "meh" products begin..... Blah blah blah. 🦋 Tax in the days of so much choice..... Not for me.

Clicked on this for respect for Knife Center. Benchmade can just file for bankruptcy. I hope heh heh

WOM. Waste of money.

Benchmades water series ended up rusting. Complete garbage. Smh.

Why are people still wasting their time on this greedy ass company? Bunch of overpriced subpar products.

1st

Benchmade is boring sorry

Spyderco won the Blade Magazine award at Blade Show for "Most Innovative American Design" with their Salt Paramilitary 2🤔 I honestly don't understand how a Paramilitary 2 which is a knife designs that's been around since 2010, with magnacut a blade steel that's been around for almost three years now can win this award🤷‍♂️ How the hell is it innovative to just change the blade steel on an existing knife design and slightly change the texturing of its handle🤔 So Blade Magazine is telling us that no other American production knife company or American custom knife make made any knife designs that were more innovative than the Spyderco Salt Paramilitary 2🤔 Giving the Spyderco Salt Paramilitary 2 this award is insulting to all American knife makers!!!!!

Cue the default Benchmade hate…”even if it’s made out of solid gold, it better not cost more than $50!” 🤣

Benchmade really stepping up the innovation again with a drop point blade... Benchmade sucks...

everyone complaining about price like they don't own thousands of dollars of knives they never use anyways! Weeeeeeeeeeeee!

Why no tactical pieces
