Now that is a great group of blades!! Killer sub collection of 940's!!! I've only had an Omega spring break but that was my one and only issue with the ones i have, BM took good care of me and even gave the knife a spa treatment when they had it. Thanks for sharing these awesome tools!!
@bigjsknives I do love the 940. I have ever since I got the green one about 15 years ago. It's probably my all time favorite modern. Although the Spyderco Manix 2 and Cold Steel Recon 1 are right there with it. I am glad that I don't have to choose between them!
Thanks for sharing the collection. Not sure I’ll ever own a Benchmade due to the price. If I’m going to spend that much I’m buying a Spyderco. My current carry is the kershaw iridium mini. Cheers
@rockcountry They are expensive! Fortunately, I have had most of them for quite a few years. I did get 2 new ones this year because I sold 2 that became collectible for an absurd price! I have what I want from Benchmade and most likely will not get any more.
They do make a great knife, but the current pricing is too high! The only one that I didn't like was the bugout. But then again I like knives that are a little larger than most.
Very nice collection Ken! Ive yet to get a benchmade. That Tagged out looks cool! That Kerahaw looks like a great alternative! Thanks for sharing! Stay Warm!
Absolutely Ken I keep telling you we should be neabors!!!! lol your talking my language great collection buddy…… now for sure I’m going to break my benchmades out…….. i enjoy seeing your collection that was fun……. That new benchmade is awesome but 400 bucks I have to really pinch my butthole before making that plunge…… but it’s on the list…… stay well and cheer my Philadelphia eagles on today!!!!! Be safe out there 😊
The only reason that I got the new 710 is because I sold a 940 and a 710 that were collectable. They were blue and black G10 with M390 blades. I got $1100 out of the pair. S90V is a better steel anyway! There current pricing is too high and I will not be buying any more!
Do I avoid fixed blades? Nope, in fact I make fixed blades. Today I am carrying a pocket fixed blade and kydex sheath that I made. Here is a playlist of the knife that I made that won Scab's knife making contest. ua-cam.com/play/PL1axKtlQYOxAF4LSIxM9B2IZcDHk5M7AO.html
@LastChanceKnives thank You very much for your kind reply! I'm Italian and maybe "avoid" wasn't the right word... You're also a knife maker, spectacular!!! I start immediately to follow You 😉 Sorry my ignorance: what is "Scab"? I looked for it on Google but I don't think to have find the right answer... thank You very much again!

Got my 20cv/g10 bugout for $150 and it isnt even worth that compared to the value and quality from Kizer, Vosteed, Miguron, Civivi. Cant imagine buying s30v/grivory bugouts for $180-200... If you NEED to buy US made go Kershaw or Hogue. BM will get no more of my money after they discontinued the griptillian, then brought it back out with colored grivory for $40 more... They rhunk theire customers are dumb
I too will not be buying any more Benchmades due to price. I have what I want from them anyway. The only reason that I got the new 710 is that I sold the one I had for $600, it became collectable. So I upgraded to the new one and pocketed some change.

Very cool collection! Thanks for the look at all these, buddy!
Thanks!
Great collection Ken!! I love my Benchmades!! Great knives!!

Don't recommend that you do, sir. If you're bent in n USA made to Kershaw or Hogue, BM is 200% overpriced
They are overpriced. BM needs a reality check!
there's where all the knives went lol..nice bunch..I like anything with some color to it like the orange..
Thanks! I do have quite a few orange knives. I in particular like a burnt orang color.
Nice collection
Thanks! Benchmade does make a quality knife. It's too bad they have priced themselves out of the market in the last couple of years.

Nice collection. Do You avoid fixed blades? I ask because the SOCP and the Nimravus are 2 very iconic knives, more than their folders in general...
