Benchmade vs. Spyderco

Oh no, not another BM vs. Spyderco thread! Everyone knows Spyderco knives are better :P
 
Some guys like spyderco more some guys like benchmade more. You realy can`t say that one brand is better than other.
 
Both top notch companies, but i have way more spydercos. Spyderco just seems to get more "right" to me than Benchmade, although I still carry my 710, torrent and 806D2 periodically.
 
Benchmades have a better warranty and knife repair. For instance you can get blades replaced and knifes detailed stripped for warranty work.
 
I wish Benchmade would not use the Axis assist and then I'd own at least one.
 
Axis lock is amazing. Full flat ground blade with a spydie hole is amazing. Benchmade customer service is amazing. Spyderco sprint runs are amazing. If you have a very specific list of wants, one company will probably come out on top for that list. Besides that, both are great.
 
ok ill venture into an intelligant answer attempt. I think spyderco S30V is better than benchmade because they use a CPM S30V which is a purer, slightly stronger formation due to the powder metalurgy and it impresses me on my native, my dejavoo, meh its ok i guess. benchmades are classy. if you like church knives, gentlemans folders, collectability, high end stuff, i like a benchmade knife, like their gold class, ill probably never own one but just an example. they have some good work folders like the 710 with D2 and titanium liners, g 10 and an axis lock, which is awesome. they have some great military knives like the nimravus. also i think i enjoy benhmades frequent use of 154cm, its my favorite well rounded steel. spyderco, however, in my experience has the best edc knives. theyre affordable enough to not off yourself if you lose an endura or manbug, and they allow super exotic steels at a low price point. frn is a good handle material, and spyderco always does a better job at traction. they always feel better in the hand. i hope this helps
 
Two great companies. A "steel junkie" particularly appreciates the opportunities that Spyderco provides to get great blade steels.
