I own all three of their knives and love each one. They added a new titanium silver knife for $295.00. I may get sucked into it but it really is pricey...We shall see if my blade addiction wins me over, I am fighting it.nnn

Love the looks of this knife. I would be very tempted to buy it. I have the 707 and north fork from benchmade. Both great.

Interesting collaboration. I see the similarities. Benchmade gains the visibility from the Shinola customer base that may not particularly be knife people and Shinola picks up a quality product. I think Shinola will have to be up front with marketing it as having Benchmade roots or they will be hard pressed to get their traditional high cost model for sales to a knife enthusiast.

Yeah, and most of their old faithful customers are probably comfortable putting their own edge on it and tweaking any issues that QC misses. I for one am a customer regardless, even having bought a couple that could have been better out of the box, but I'm not sure if I would feel the same if my first ever experience with a Benchmade and introduction to multiple hundred dollar knives was kinda janky. But, I have heard Benchmade has really gotten back on track for the most part lately, so I hope they keep it up.

zaphrodboxI haven't bought alot of Benchmade product but every one I have ever purchased has been great out of the box. I'm probably not as discerning as some internet purists but I've been a knife enthusiast since childhood and I think my grading for the price I pay is pretty fair. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another Benchmade if the look caught my eye. I have been disappointed in a few customs but that was letting the hype over ride my patience to study and research. Live an learn.
