It`s mainly because they don`t care to deal with the general public.I bet it worked with you??Im sure if you called them up and asked to buy 200,you would get a much better deal.

Good point, didnt think of that .... i knew it would end up being something obvious (slaps palm to his head) Thankx man
 
Actually unless you were a dealer I doubt that you would get as better price.
I think the main reason that they sell knives for the list price is that they don't want to step on the toes of their dealers. If they were to sell for low prices then no brick and mortar dealer would carry their knives.

Dealer cost on that knife is nowhere near 190, that is just the Suggested Retail Price and BM has to sell it for that price.

BM's website sales is mostly meant to reach those who:
a) dont live anywhere near a dealer or..
b)those who wish to buy directly from BM at their prices for whatever reason or..
c)to catch the unsuspecting fella who doesnt know any better.

Anyone who buys 200 of any particular knife is most likely a distributor. No dealer I know of can/would sit on even a 10th of that number for very long... and theres no reason to do so as more can be had/found in a day or three... or even distributor drop-shipped to the buyer if need be.
 
On the Benchmade site, they encourage folks to buy their knives through their dealers.

They further provide a place to find dealers near a buyer's home.

They would be crazy to step on the toes of their dealers.
