The benchmade website is a bit of a bear to find what you want if you don't know exactly what you want. Have any benchmades been released since the creation of the 2004 catalog, or could I just print that out and have all of their pocket knives at my fingertips?
Thanks,
Richard
 
The catalog is not up to date. There have been models released since the release of the catalog, such as the 220.
 
For any company that has a constantly changing product line print media is very difficult to keep up to date. It is easier for the company to update a website and add new items tahtn to try and stay on top of printed catalogs. The options are puttng out a couple catalogs a year which can be cost prohibitive or to only release new products annualy which is not as good for consumers.
 
I'm not expected them to keep the print catalog up to date, but they should make their website more user friendly. It used to let you specify paramters like opening mechanism, blade length, etc. No longer.

Well, now I'm disappointed by the fact that there are no 4-5" blade axis lock knives.
