I was expecting two bills or so.Yeah, it’s a cool knife, but $450?
I was expecting like $300-350
I was expecting two bills or so.
Back in the day the “big 3” seemed to be the sere 2K, Military, and the 710. They were all around a bill each and regularly went for $80 gently used on the exchange.
$400-ish is a joke for what this is.
$350 WAS the butterfly tax. $450+ is the let's just see how hard we can push it before people wake up and the market collapses tax. Don't forget to add $100 or so to get some aftermarket scales, because those tacky, overmilled ones are fugly!You're forgetting about the "Butterfly Tax"...
Do you have any evidence of this? Are they having difficulty selling knives? Could you please point me to a site showing their declining sales figures?Benchmade is pricing themselves out of existence.

I wonder what market are they going for?
And I think it is a logical speculation in my opinion. But, I don't think that this thread, or even this forum, necessarily represents the opinions of all knife enthusiasts (who ever they are?).All pure speculation on my part, BTW
