New 2018 Benchmade Product!

I agree! They should just be giving away their knives just to thank us for liking them!

:rolleyes:

200$?!!

Does Benchmade think that all it’s customers won the lottery or something? They seem to just get more and more overpriced. Especially considering the materials other companies are doing for cheaper and cheaper every day.

The only companies doing things for cheaper are the Chinese companies. Most others have implemented price increases this year. ZT just announced no price increase

Agreed. I prefer the full size personally, but the more options the better. I'm excited about what looks to my eye to be OD green scales. It would be cool if they would offer an option to order an extra backspacer, for those who might want to change the orange out on their standard Crooked River. Either way, I'm hyped to see this available, and I appreciate Benchmade for offering it...Could get mighty expensive very quickly though :D
 
Based on the scale of the axis lock and the screws in the photo, I'm pretty sure that's a pic of the mini.

This is great. Still hoping one of those options is micarta, and not all g10 colors. This is a smart move by Benchmade. They will bring more people to their website for a popular model, and charge full retail.

Not a complaint... an observation: the Mini Presidio II retails at $165 with CPM-S30V and aluminum scales. I would think the steel would be better for that price. I understand price increases are happening across the board, and BM is premium pricey, but what could be the reasoning there? Wishful thinking that it would be more affordable, but isn't aluminum cheaper to work with?

I have no complaints about s30v, but your right. I would have liked to see a 20cv or equivalent instead.
 
You're right, and I don't have any complaints about s30v either. There are just so many other knives on the market at that price with upgraded steel it made me wonder. I doubt that price will keep me away from one of those anyway.
