Benchmade sent out a private email over the weekend (Thanks Travis)to all it's employees, dealers and distributors announcing that it is shuting down efective today.
All warranty issues will be handled through an arbitration board and current stock and parts were seized late Friday afternoon to be held for such issues.
The email further states that Benchmade may rebuild over the summer and a new company will be launched only using only female employees. The letter stated that 80% of the production at Benchmade was produced by females and the men working there just simply did not work. They played with the knives all day and nothing was done and production went down over the last few months to near zero on all teams who had more than 50% men on them.
So look for the new company to launch in 6 months with an all new name, BITCHMADE!
If you got this far and did not realize this is April 1st well SMILE someone had to do this and it may as well be me. I pull this same joke every year and people still fall for it!
No offense to ladies!
