Just think...there are probably guys who go to work there EVERY DAY and hate their jobs.

Okay, maybe not. :D

Good choice on the 710D2 -- my favorite Benchmade hands down.

That Gold Class mini-Skirmish made me get out the slobber towel.

Thanks for the pics!
 
:eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

You lucky SOB! :cool:

Seeing the outside is one thing, but going inside the factory is

another. It's like seeing heaven while still being alive.

Great Photos. The first I've seen of some of those knives (besides the stock

photos). That Gold Class Mini Presido looks so sick. :jerkit:



P.S. What's next? Kershaw? Spyderco?
 
very informative tour, i got a 710 in D2, i love it already, my friend got a 42, he has a bradley kimura and loves to do tricks so he automatically loves the 42. im not in oregon long enough to go to kershaw. im her over spring break meeting my girlfriends parents. one of the customer service reps that hung out with us all afternoon (a total cutie) just got back from a show in germany last night. she knew her stuff! we saw the owner walking around twice, didnt meet him tho. i live in colorado so the next time my buddy comes down we made a pact to go to spyderco.
i had abusted pocket clip on my 615S which was in my pocket and they got me a new one while i was there!!!!
great day!
 
Benchmade 710 in D2. Yes, excellent. I got one not too long ago.

You're so lucky they give free samples like that! :p
 
How'd the lum tanto feel?! That very well may be my next purchase. Great pictures as well, Im suprized they let you take pictures! I dont even want to say what Id give up in my life if I could get a chance to go through a tour!
