So what do you guys think of our new products for 2013 so far? What is your favorite? What are we missing?
 
I don't own any of the 2013 new products, but have been thinking about getting a 300SN.

What are you missing ? I would love to see some Carbon Fiber! Love your CF, any model would do, but would love a Mini Grip in CF:thumbup:
 
I dig the auto triage (specifically the auto hook) and some of the new assist models are very cool.

I think that the 300sn was a good start for a flipper but they are really hot right now and I think a larger axis flipper and a titanium frame lock flipper need to be in the plans.

I bet a Flip-tilian would sell really well.
 
Benchmade Forum -sweet!! :thumbup::thumbup:

The lineup is looking good this year -but I want to see another release of the Alias and TSEK. The Alias is in my pocket today and most days; it would be cool to have one with some colored standoffs. :D

Those three balisongs and the hawk look pretty sweet to me. :)
 
to be quite honest, im a bit disappointed in the 2013 lineup... i hope you dont find my opinion insulting.
besides the auto triage (which is illegal for normal civies to carry in my state) and the new bushcrafter fixed blade nothing really woos me.

i honestly feel the 2 last GREAT benchmade knives to be released were the contego and adamas...
the new flipper isnt that aesthetically appealing to me although im sure its a great performer.

edit: +1000, i would like to see the afck AND skirmish series part of the normal production run as well... blue or black class please.

I really wish you guys would revive the AFCK on a regular production basis, rather than just the limited runs.

Not at all,
We understand that not every knife excite everyone and some states are very restrictive in what they allow you to carry. The Contego and the Adamas are tough acts to follow but from what I have seen from our engineers there are some excellent knives in the works that I think everyone will like! =)

I feel the same way. Benchmade knives, specifically axis lock, are my favorite folders. If ZT/Kershaw didn't blow the doors off SHOT '13 maybe I'd feel different about the lineup. In my opinion, I don't see any model here that will be coveted and turned into a timeless brand-identifying design like the 55X, 710, 61X, 635 or 810... Does anyone else feel like one of these knives will become a classic?
