What are you hoping to see in 2018?

[Halfneck]

Bugout in an upgraded steel and G10 scales.

 

[V8BMG]

Mini Presidio II and made like a tank

 

[Smooth_Operater]

Just a benchmade 765 with double lugs

Mini Presidio II and made like a tank

I like the fact that Benchmade frequently offers large and small versions. My 525 gets much more attention and use than it's larger brother the 520. If there was a vote I'd cast one for a Mini Presidio II.

An integral titanium 940 with the new axis lock featured in the anthem. And if they don't do that please do some more rare runs in aluminum like the old days. Bring back the 710 in a slim aluminum or titanium as well. Bring back the single edged infidel. I can dream.

An Ares in 20cv and a new frame lock. Brad

Would also like to see a mini Presidio II. The 570 is just a hair bigger than the 520, but definitely can feel it.

Mini Presidio II and made like a tank

Yep! Agreed

 

[Evany]

Another plea for an upgraded Bugout!

 

[ucfgrad93]

Another vote for upgraded Bugout and a mini Freek.

I edited my OP to add this:

I personally would love to see more micarta handle scales!

 

[cashville]

More M4, ideally with DLC or uncoated blades. Even if only offered through the custom process, this would be a good start. Ritters would be a welcomed return. I’m not sure if it would be a huge hit among the general population, but I’d love to see BM try out Cruwear (uncoated). It would be a great alternative to the boring and sometimes chippy S30V IMO. I’d much prefer this over trying to transition to S35VN, which has flooded the market and can be inconsistent depending on the manufacturer.

 

[GatorMedic]

Mini Crooked River (3.25" in blade length) and Bugout variants

Mini Crooked River (3.25" in blade length) and Bugout variants

I would love to see a Bugout XL.

 

[mastiffhound]

3.5" to 4" Wharncliffe folder. A larger Bugout would be awesome too!

* 581/6-style grind available for custom-shop 580/5's (I'd buy a flat-ground 580 in M4 tomorrow if I could!)

* 710-revamp: no recurve, smidge thicker handle, updated blade steel(s), etc.

* ~ (1.5)k omega spring option, for those of us who sometimes carry our Axis Lock knives somewhere other than our front pockets.

 

[matt009au]

Wouldn't mind some new collab knives with some industy heavyweights, Terzuola, Elishewitz etc.

And like others, the resurection of the classics! 710, atcf, stryker

 

[gadgetgeek]

Bugout handle colors would be cool, as would be a bugout in something like LC200N. I'd also like them to do more with the rescue hook line.

 

[Seneca18]

Centered blades, no blade play, better sharpening and better qc. Or just lower map prices

Amen, agree 100%.
