benchmade vs cold steel?

[Boberama]

For $40 for the large size, it's hard to beat the new Voyager lineup.

Benchmade is garbage. Do they make anything as cool as this? How are you going to defend yourself when the terrorists attack you with a sword? Certainly not with a Benchmade.

I EDC a 5-foot high s30v tower shield IRL. Always prepare. Who knows if they'll attack with lances instead of swords.

Cold Steel wins for me. I really couldn't care less where a knife is made, as long as it's made well. Plus I'm not willing to pay the extra 100% money for a Benchmade.

Can I just add about the shield thingy

"Not for use when training against metal weapons."

So if someone comes at you with a sword, still run.
