New 2018 Benchmade Product!

[Popsickle]

The Crooked River (mini) being added to the custom builder would be the best thing so far announced. Very excited by that possibility!

At the end of the catalog it had the crooked river in the custom builder picture

Hoping it’s the mini. Here is the custom builder pic

If it follows the same pattern as the other two models offered in the custom builder, they should have the mini and the full size. We'll see.

Hope so! I’m fairly new to benchmade... how long does it usually take for new models to actually hit stores/custom store?

It all depends. Maybe Benchmade can give us a hint??

Crap. They did find a way to take my money.

Hello BladeForums!

I am incredibly excited and honored to announce the newest additions to the Benchmade family:

http://www.benchmade.com/new.html

I will be posting a new product announcement for each new product but they can be viewed now at the link above.

Thank you!

Love the pic! Would like to see more side-by-side from this shoot!

Guess we'll have to wait longer for the 535-1

Double tap

Lots here that to like. Smaller is better for me. I also like the fact that SV30 appears to be the new entry level steel.

2018 is the year of the Mini!

 

[jkarp_53]

Thanks to Benchmade for making this a great year for mini's! Nice designs, just wish for different blade steel offerings. There are one or two models that get my attention (Mini Presidio II comes to mind...)

Liking the fixed Infidel and Mini Crooked River

Like the Vector's design, but AO rules it out for me

 

[BM-EDC]

Just may have to put an Altitude and Fact on my list. I’m digging those.

 

[craytab]

Okay, the Fact has me intrigued. Don't love the grind, but that's a lot of blade for the weight.

Edit: Nevermind, saw the price. Maybe someday y'all will figure out how to get money from me, but it sure doesn't look to be anytime soon.

I like this one as well. The price not so much. Also, I'd prefer g10. If I find one on the secondary market for less I'll give it a try.

 

[jstrange]

Really like the look of the Fact!

 

[luke86]

Figured it was too soon for an upgraded bugout. Was still hoping though. Maybe we will catch a dealer exclusive for one. I would think they would be lining up to jump at a chance for an exclusive on this one.

 

[BK14]

I was relatively less than intrigued until I saw the Fact. Dang you Benchmade!! Also a Crooked River in the custom build would be crazy cool. I want one in D2!

 

[GotSteel]

Also digging the fact hopefully they'll offer other steels especially at that price

3.4' bladed river seems really nice, but i don't get why it has to have a full orange backspacer

Yeah, I agree. Maybe it'll drive more of us to order it from the custom builder. I'm sure that's the route I'll go.

Assuming that changing the backspacer and pivot ring color is one of the options. Which it had better be...
