What's the blade length on the Bencnhmade? I love the shape of that blade.

 

[Tinman]

Blade is 6.44” and the total length is 11.72”

 

[Curmudgeon]

Awesome! Nice scores! Where'd you get them?

 

[Tinman]

I got them both at Cabela’s. Both were at very good prices.

 

[BDinPutnam]

Wow, that Benchmade is a beaut.

 

[MoMan]

WOW! Nice looking knives there. CONGRATS!! Especially at a good price!

 

[ArmedCorgi]

Dude! I just bought the Ontario Raider. Waiting delivery.

 

[Tinman]

Good for you. I think that you will love it.

 

[togmaster]

I hate threads like this because I usually end up buying another knife.

 

[Tinman]

It’s ok. Go ahead and buy one or two.

 

[togmaster]

It’s ok. Go ahead and buy one or two.

Wish my wife had your attitude.

That Benchmade has beautiful lines. I absolutely love the classic clip point design in a blade that size ! Nice score @Tinman

 

[S&W Fan]

Oh , and that Ontario Raider Bowie ain’t too shabby either.

 

[S&W Fan]

The Only classic style Bowie that I have is this S&W commissioned Texas Ranger commemorative . 15.5” coffin handle Bowie

Are all Benchmade knifes now Made in USA? I know that wasn't always the case as I have a Benchmade that was made in Taiwan. Well at least the blade is stamped Taiwan I suppose it could have been assembled in USA...

EDIT never mind it was in link that you posted...

Apart from some Red Class products, which were produced in their "off shore facilities",[7]Benchmade has produced more than 90% of its knives in Oregon City, and has succeeded in bringing others back to home production.[8]Since 2010, all Red Class production knives have been discontinued, and as such, every Benchmade labeled knife is made in the United States.

 

[Tinman]
