and yes i know there is thread about bm already, but here more people would look at thread
 
Benchmade's customer service has always treated me well and I've never had a problem with them. I'm not sure what your friends experience was but knowing your history of bashing brands this doesn't surprise me. Also, that "cool knife from China" looks like a rip off of a Brous Reloader
 
oh yeah? maybe you ask them to contact me? i'm sure they willn't answer you. regarding reloader. now you are really funny)))))) yes, it is very similar to 0777, and even more to matrix, but HELL, RELOADER!? lol

Yeah. It does look like a reloader.
That Benchmade looks awesome.
"Beat the crap out of them"? Don't think so.
A giant company like Benchmade who pioneers their own new designs and collaborations that has been around for 30 years, vs a China company that rips people off with fakes that's been around for 30 mins.
Good ol American company with American workers wins every day.
 
You never know for sure that Chinese knives use the steel they claim. You also have no customer service, if you need it.
 
I cannot imagine that you folks fall for this and even respond to him. Can't you tell from his "English" that he is not from the USA? Can you spell T-R-O-L-L ?

I believe it's the recently announced (someone has posted a magazine advertisement featuring it, IIRC) Benchmade 761.

Features include:

* M390 blade
* titanium handle
* ball bearings at the pivot
* Tip down-only carry
* a ridiculous price (IIRC, ~$400)
 
My only issue with the above knife is that they claim to use KVT. We all know this is trademarked by KAI. And while KVT is really no different than any other caged bearing system they do own the rights to the name. I dont really care that the knife is a obvious mix and match of multiple existing designs as if there is a computer program where you can copy an paste 5 pictures of different knives and it will blend them all. But they still need to change the KVT thing. Simply stating "bearing system" would suffice.

Actually one russian guy took a knife made by Adai and found their claim of S35VN was accurate as well as them using genuine titanium. They showed the tests on a youtube video being done in real time. And honestly you never know if ANY company from ANY country is using the steel they claim to be using. You take much of all of it on faith. And as far as customer service? I have yet to have a problem. I havent had to seek out help much but when I did parts were sent to me free of charge. In one case enough to make 2 fully operational knives.

Yes that is the video I was refering to. The blade tested a bit low on hardness for s35vn according to the guy who did the video the chemical composition came back within spec. I dont know why he didnt show that in the video. As to the hardness, I dont know if the test was performed near the pivot which may be softer than the edge area. Im not really sure how they heat treat over there. I will say I am not sure how accurate that gun is they use. When they tested the titanium it came back as having nearly 13% iron in the composition. I have not found any information on which titanium alloy would have that much iron in it.
