Why doesn't benchmade have a manufacturer's forum on here?

Just curious...

I believe it's because they simply haven't requested it.
They run their own forums over on the official site and perhaps don't feel the need to have one here as well.

I own probably 20 Spydercos for every Benchmade I own, and thats in large part due to Spyderco's association with BF and the fact that I can PM Mr. Sal and he'll talk to me like I'm a human. I do wish that Benchmade had a presence here, but it is what it is.

+1 on what the previous posters said.

I own and like quite a few of their knives, and would be interested in them having a forum here as well. But unless they approach BladeForums about buying a manufacturer's subforum here, it's not going to happen.

Manufacturers don't pay for forums here. The only requirement is that provide official company representation.

Ah, good to know.
