IS IT GOOD? | Benchmade Infidel 

I've carried a satin blade full size Infidel since 2009. Not had any issues with it though I am careful to ensure no coins, dirt, lint get up into the handle while it's in my pocket. Very very lightly oil and carefully hit with a leather strop every few months and it always stays razor sharp. I'm careful not to cut anything that would damage/dull the blade as I've got a key chain knife for routine daily use. I want it to stay ready for personal protection should I ever need it.

I have owned, and carried, an Infidel for 7+ years now. Not once in that entire time has it ever failed to deploy or retract properly (and, after 7 years, I'm talking 1000's of times!). Only problem I've encountered, after about year 6, was a stiffness to the actuating "button." A few drops of "Release" brand knife lubricating oil fixed the problem.

Kind of difficult to see a black knife against a black shirt in a dimly lit room. I like the content though.

Most underrated channel ever

I just got my Infidel for 150. Pretty cool knife. I'd definitely never pay full price for one though

I got a 3300bk today and I’m super stoked to finally own this tool 💪🦅

I have a Infidel and Microtech Ultratech. I have been told several times that im a moron for getting the infidel and that i really know my shit for getting the Ultratech. That microtech blade comes out with more authority. No doubt about it. But it is a diva of a knife. None of the oils or greases i use on my guns are good for it. I have to use some weird blend of lubes the store I got it from came up with. Which works great. But a needless inconvenience. That Infidel is not as light or as sleek as the Ultratech. But that blade has come out every single time and ive used every type of lubricant on it. Even the dry graphite powder stuff. They have the same length handle but the infidel has anothet inch of blade. Microtech has the glass breaker but ive only used it once. At the junk yard to test it out. Works fine but i have a 9mm i carry, keep a hammer in the car, i live in NM in the desert so there is always rocks nearby. When i got my Infidel i also bought my daughter one. Her first OTF. Every year i get her a gucci knife for her birthday. Shes really into them. So far ive got her the Infidel, the Autocrat, and the microtech Dirac. Dirac is kind of like the infidel but prettier. Same type of button location and coffin shaped grip. She usually carries a Benchmade Auto Fact and one of her push daggers for an actual weapon. Shes a big believer in fixed for people and non-fixed for things. The ultratech cost me $320 and the infidel cost $425. Even at the $500 MSRP for the infidel i would still consider it a better purchase. Also that Autocrat I was a little skeptical about because of its G10 handle. But that was the one she wanted. It has turned out to be very durable and as reliable as the infidel. The infidel is old, its heavy, and has no elegance to it. Id like to try out some more OTF's but theyre not cheap and the cheap ones are a waste of money. That $50 can go to a less complicated knife that is still quality instead. But so far the Infidel is the way to go for me. Im considering buying one of the mini ones for no good reason at all. Wish i got the the fixed one when they were making it.

Great job on 100 dude 100 more and you’ll pass me up

Is this legal in Canada I want one bad

Double illegal in Holland... 😢 But very neat knife 😊

I have the same knife and after limited carrying it struggles to close. Wished I knew what to do about it. Feels dry inside.

Could you do a review for a good budget OTF knife?

I’ve had my infidel going on 3 years now .. it is the staple of auto otf knives ..

Got to love the podium jimping. (BladHQ came up with that name, not me) Love my Infidel.

I love this. So elegant

As someone who has carried an infidel for years… Is it practical? Not really. Is it worth $500? Probably not. Would I buy it again? Most likely

I've carried one for years and the only problem I've ever had is every once in awhile I'll have a coin get stuck in the tip of it and it won't open

perhaps microtech ultratech is the best

Hard to see.

My brother owns this knife it is pretty sweet

It’s a cool toy; but I carry winkler fixed blade every day on my belt or kit. Way better tools.

A lil late to the party, though nice review!! The only suggestion that I'd make is to wear a lighter shirt cuz when you dropped the knives down in front of your shirt, you couldn't see them as even the lighter Mini-Freak blended in with your shirt. Between your dark shirt, dark knives combined with the low lighting, it was very tough to really see the knives. Easy fix as your presentation is excellent and I will be subscribing, and as former Federal LE, I find the vast vast majority of these YTube knife videos a joke versus how a knife is deployed in the real world(I was in an undercover role for two+ years in which time I was involved in three knife/Punch Dagger altercations). Your video was a breadth of fresh air🤙 Stay Well, Stay Safe & Continued Success Brotha👊 RP

Lighting too dark on product. nice video otherwise

Why microtech hate so much infidel?

Or.... if you're like me and don't care.... lol I carry mine everyday.

Microtech better steel,better made better quality materials. That knife would should be 275-300

Eh I like the phaeton better

tf are you going to do with a blade length under 6 inches? gtfo lmao
