So wich red class-knives are you running out to buy before they completely disapears?
I already have a Nagara so I will try to get a Rant and Vex!
 
From what I have read, most of the red class will be moved to the H&K and the Harley Davidson lines and made here in the US. Unless it has been said a model is discontinued you should be able to still get it in maybe a very slightly different form. I'm not sure about the Nagara but I think the Rant and Vex will still be made.

No I believe some of the H&K and H.D. knives will still be made overseas. It's only the knives that say Benchmade on them that are guaranteed to be made here.
 
I got the Vex for the design and discounted price, like it a lot and I don't even like liner locks. Also just picked up the Monochrome to try the N690 steel. The Vex is made in China and the Monochrome in Taiwan.
 
I just checked the 2010 BM catalogs and I didn´t find the Vex anywhere. The Nagara is now a Harley Davidson-knife and the Rant is a D2 Steel Blue Class but the Vex is gone! Or have I missed it?

The Rant was already USA made, and is getting moved to the Blue-Class line. Might want to focus on that Vex. :D
 
I kind of wish I would have got that LFK and Nagara I was thinking about when they were on sale before Xmas...

Damn.
 
I have several BM Red Class knives and really like them. The Nagara is the best of the Red Class.
 
I picked up several over the last 3 weeks, 1 Benchmite, 1 Pika II plain, 1 Pika II Tanto half serrated, 1 Mini Pika plain and 1 Mini Pika black half serrated. I might look around for a Vex at a decent price.
 
Now that i have carried my new nagara for the last two weeks i think i may have to pick up another one. That way i can have one for EDC and one in perfect shape for dress carry.
 
I would love a Red Class Rant DPTII in 440C but I cant find one in satin plain edge. I'm glad they're keeping it in the Blue line but I dont like D2.
 
I picked up a VEX at a local Dunham's that just opened here,they have a Rant with a bowie blade,may have to pick that up.

The VEX is a nice knife,very useful design.
 
Knifeworks had the LFK on sale not too long ago for $50, I picked it up and fast, fun user.
 
I'm not a big liner-lock fan either, but I must say that the heavy duty liner in the Vex line allays most of my concern. Both the plain and tanto versions are quite a lot of knife for the coin. In fact, as the Red box goes, they're about all I do really care for.
 
Hi Slowstarter -

I don't buy 'em if they are not made in the USA anyway.

Gimme the blue boxed ones.

best regards -

Nagara and LFK are now made under the harley davidson line, the vex is the only one that seems to be gone.
