My friend recently got a knew knife and showed it to me. It was a NRA outdoor knives. I had never heard of them so I looked them up and the products on paper seem decent. Zytel handle 440c blades but everything seemed very similar to benchmade. They have a look that looks like an axis look and knives that are Snody, Osborne and Pardue design. They even have a rescue hook.

Has anyone had any experiance with this company or its products or can anyone explain the similarities between Benchmade?
 
There is no NRA knife company. They are a line of Benchmade knives made for the NRA logo. Benchmade also has knives made for H&K and Harley Davidson logos.
 
Alright haha thank you Esav Benyamin. I was aware of the H&K line but I hadnt heard about the NRA line. Thanks for answer my question so quickly
 
I know you're talking about tactical-type knives, but I wanted to mention that Benchmade also had an NRA line of traditional slipjoints too; I bought a Stockman and a Canoe. Two of the best imported slipjoints I ever held. (Might be something to consider as a small backup cutter to the big NRA knife.)

The NRA Outdoors series of knives were contracted through Benchmade, most if not all were imported and not actually made by Benchmade.

They were discontinued last year.

I remember those, they looked good. They were designed by Ken Steigerwalt.

Steigerwalt? I haven't looked into anything he's done, but that linky's got some very interesting elements in the designs. The Stockman had raised bolsters like a standard Canoe pattern. With that in mind, I'll have to look at these other NRA's as well.

thx - cpr
