well, you could go there for the benchmade forum. from my understanding, benchmade was one of the first to have such a forum. to me, this puts them slightly ahead of the competition, as far as the www goes. how is spyderco's website these days? i have not been there for a while, so i don't know. are all their new models on their website?
the only thing i have a problem with from benchmade, is the lack of response to questions on their forum. when mark mcwillis was at benchmade, i bet this never would have happened. i would also be willing to bet that he would have a large presence at bladeforums, like mr. glesser.
