What are your favorite 3 Benchmades?

[BJE]

Please put you list in order of greatest to least. Mine are: 1.Vex, 2.Mini-Ambush, 3.Mini-Pika (those are the only Benchmades I own at this time, but I hope to get alot more very soon). Also, do you prefer Benchmade or Spyderco? I like Benchmade a little better.

I'm sure you'll get a lot of idiosyncratic replies to this one!

Here are mine: Rukus, Griptilian, Skirmish. Yes -- I do like large knives.

And I do slightly prefer BM to Spyderco. That could change with time, since I've only been a knife knut for a few months. I need a little more 'seasoning' -- heck, I don't even own a Delica yet.

Could everyone please use the name of the knife and the model number instead of just the model number if possible? I am not familier with all of the model numbers yet, and it takes a while to look them up.

I really like my Morpho, and was interested in the Gravitator Wharncliffe and the Rukus not too long ago, but my opinions have since changed. I think BM make incredible Balis, and that is probably the only kind of knife I will continue to buy from them.

BM42!!!!!!!!!!!!! I own and use...
Benchmade Morpho!!!!!!! I want to own...
Griptilian (any variation) I own and use...

 

[jujigatame]

With names as the gentleman requested...

850 Pardue gent's folder (no clip)
525 Pardue Mini Presidio
650 Boguszewski Spike

Tack on the 330 Pardue with pearl scales as the one I like the most that I don't own yet.

As for BM vs. Spyderco, I largely prefer Spyderco, in part due to the lack of new/recent BM models that interest me.

For me, it would be the following:

812 - AFCK Mini
710 - McHenry & Williams Axis
942 - Osbourne Axis

 

[samhell]

730 Ares -Love the the blade shape. Mine still gets lots of carry time even though I have several customs that put it to shame.
940 -Wish I hadn't sold my blue KOTM version
And I can't leave out the knife that pulled me into the world of high end production and custom knives. The 970 Emerson CQC7.

BM or spyderco.... :yawn:





I am just going to say this... BOTH are great knife companies and both make great products. I like spydercos folders better for the most part. BM has autos, Spyderco doesnt. BM has better fixed blades. There...


BM tops:
1. BM 175
2. BM 156
3. BM Fixed Presidio

while i am here....

Spyderco tops:
1. Chinook II
2. Manix
3. Paramilitary

BM 211 Activator D2
BM 921 Switchback

Can't think of a third. NRA 12800 Gaucho if I must pick one, but I haven't had much chance to use it. I like the design though.
