What I Wish Benchmade would Produce . . .

biggzipp · Nov 1, 2015

I love the blade shape and feel in the hand of the full size Barrage.

In my opinion if they would make a Barrage:

+ with a G10 handle (I would love orange G10 personally) - offer a titanium version as well
+ make the pivot screw visible and de-assist the knife

That would be such a great knife.

I couldn't agree more that would be a very cool knife, honestly though the only thing that stops me from buying one is that it's assisted. I really don't mind the plastic handles at all.

A manual 581 with full G-10 handle scales would be great. I have never been a fan of assisted knives and I don't like that the pivot screw can only be accessed by taking the scales off.

An AFCK with black g10 scales.

Sign me up for 2. What steel though? CPM-20CV is nice.

True, but I was thinking 1095

They should bring out an ultra version like they did for the presidio of both the griptilian and barrage imo. They could use g10 or aluminum with s30v and put them both in the black class.

If they'd just reproduce the mini AFCK M2, I'd buy 10... What I shoulda done back in the day.

They basically are an "Ultra" version... They both already come with Plastic scales which is what the Ultra Presidios come with...

No...it just seemed like the right response.

LOL... I've never used 5160, but I'd give it a try... BM did make one of their fixed blade knives using 1095, so it's not impossible

billym · Nov 4, 2015

What I could really go for is a 531 with S30V (I'm used to this steel and don't "NEED" anything "BETTER") and a black G10 handle. Not too far a leap.
Then maybe a CF version with other steel maybe. Again I am happy with S30V and even 154CM anyhow.

LARGE version of the 485 Valet... a 3.5" m390 blade.... w/ titanium handles..

I have had that thought once or twice too. I tried to like my 485 but it is just too small for me.

I have no issue with 5160 but I don't want it in a folder.

I wish they would produce a new 4-5 fixed design using M390 or CPM-20CV.

Or swap out the M4 on the 201-91 with M390! Thatd be nice!
