Nor will catch any imaginary diseases from selling somebody a knife you don't want anymore to somebody that disagrees with you about something.

The crux of the argument is that the overlap between people who buy nice knives like BMs are quite often the same people who buy and believe in 2a rights.
Yet they donate to gun grabbing anti2a govt officials. That's the definition of stabbing me in the back while picking my pocket.
To be fair, you only offered 5% of the MSRP.
Of course not.
Buy what you want.
It's a tool.
It isn't evil, or political, it's simply a tool.
It's your choice.
Which is kinda the point.
Don't provide comfort or aid to the enemy. Simple as that.
I'm not going to give a self-declared socialist shooting lessons, and I'm not going to sell them any weapon. Period. They are already committing acts of violence against rightwing people. See bike lock guy on Berkley.
It's sad that that is the state of things today, but that's where things stand. The divide in the nation today is that bad.
Don’t worry, for every person on a political side that boycotts, two people on the other side will buy. Doesn’t matter which side or what product, that’s just how it works. I for one can’t wait to get a new Benchmade. It’s been too long.
Free choice is the American way. You don't have to be smug about it.
The two that I have are to the point of not being worth a damn.
Of course there seems to be a few people that want something for nothing.

Dudes been trolling here, after he said he was done and out I believed him, guess he just lied.
Hope he has millions of dollars to make up for all the lost sales.
HK as in Heckler and Koch HK? I’d open my wallet in a heartbeat if they put out any new knives! Just a shame they aren’t partnered with Benchmade anymore.

Hogue over benchmade all day.
I’ve not owned any Hogues but I’m sure the knives are still disigned by HK and produced by Hogue? The new Ritter also looks interesting but honestly I could get the same design in a 560-1 Freek with just as high quality materials. Plus they offer a combo edge where the new RSK is only offered in plain. I do really like M390 though. Bohler hit a home run there!
Check out hogue knives. (the gun grip mfg). HK's knife moniker went to them. As well as Doug Ritter (with axis lock since it went out of patent).

Call me crazy but I'm going to keep buying Benchmades. I don't care about a company's political affiliations as much as I care about their products and customer service. I have have nothing but pleasant experiences with both.
As far as cutting guns...not sure about up in Oregon but my department sells guns on gov deals as long as they are legal. However, most guns in our property room are geared to be destroyed because they have been illegally modified.
I have no problem with a gun thats been stolen and had the serial number filed off being destroyed. These are the guns that typically end up in criminal's hands and are used in the commission of crimes. It's not like Benchmade is cutting up mint condition Colt Pythons and Brand new ARs.

best common sense answer yet!
I actually emailed Wolff to see if they’d sell replacement omega springs because if there’s anything I can complain about with BM, it’s only the fact that they won’t sell just the springs. Wolff said they couldn’t sell in small quantities but it’d be awesome if a group buy was started! I’d love to have Wolff springs in all my benchmades!
Oregon law allows the resale of LEO confiscated firearms, and the funds benefit the department.

The OCPD Chief of Police has a department policy of destroying every gun they confiscate regardless of condition.
He is openly anti 2A, hence the original post and pics of BM chopping up guns.
