Does anybody have experience with the Benchmade-made NRA Outdoors knives? I'm wondering how the quality is as opposed to Benchmade's normal knives. Are these red-class knives, or are they made in the United States? The model I'm looking at is the Pardue 12205, and had these questions about it. The price is only $38, which is very cheap for a Benchmade. So I'm curious as to the quality.
 
I don't know much about them but I can tell you that they ARE red class knives. There is atleast one that was made in the USA, and that is the Osbourn one. But it sells for over $100.
 
There are quite a few NRA knives made in the USA by BMK.

BM12800P - Osborne Gaucho
BM12550 - Hinderer
BM12520 - Snody
BM12500 - Osborne

Might be more these are just quickies.
 
I've had one for awhile now, the small Stockman slipjoint 12720.

Quality is really high, stainless and micarta construction.

I'm interested in the opinions this thread generates... I've been itching to order the Snody NRA knife.

I just noticed that the knife I mentioned is made in Taiwan. I knew it was foreign, just not the exact country.
 
I recently bought my 2nd 12800 Gaucho. They seem just as well made as my 770 D2 or a titanium 941 a friend owns.
