Does anyone have any information on when Benchmade will start shipping out backordered knives to dealers? I have been wanting a few benchmades, but when I go to order them I get the dreaded "out of stock" or "backordered" message. It seems like this has been going on for a couple of months now. Is there any end in sight, I really want some new Benchmades!
 
Which models are you looking for? Benchmade is the hardest company to get knives from right now. They are busy filling military orders, working on their new Red Line, and getting their new stuff ready for SHOT show.
 
I just got a letter (at the Knife Shop where I work) from Benchmade apologizing for all the backorders. They were ultra-busy and understaffed. They said they had just hired a bunch of new employees and that they will try to have backorders filled by the end of February.

I am looking for another 710HS. I bought one a while ago and now I would like to get one for my dad because he likes mine so much. It is definitely a hard knife to find for a good price. I wonder what positions Benchmade is filling with new employees? It would be a shame if they got a bunch of unexperienced people to make the knives and the quality went down. I doubt that would happen, but some companies get desperate when they get behind.
