As a knife noob, what makes this so special over say a $40 pocket knife?
You got a few answers already, but go to a store like REI and ask to see a $40 knife and a Benchmade. They are usually under glass. You'll feel the difference. I got my first Benchmade recently and was blown away by the quality.

I feel like a similar question comes up every time. Here's my answer from last time...

Eh, it's an enthusiast thing. People have done a good job of explaining the why of its cost. That said, unless you need something like this for a job where your life might depend on it, you only buy a knife like this because you're into pocket knives as a hobby. Think Timex vs Rolex....both function just fine, but there are good reasons one is much more expensive.

I'm poor, an Ontario works great for me. However, I'd really like to get a Benchmade, lol!

Nahhh, you can buy 1 benchmade and save yourself money. It will outlast half a dozen if not more cheap knives. Best pocket knife I've ever carried. I use it everyday (that being said right tool for the right job). Don't pry stuff apart with it or use it hammer nails into the wall. Respect the knife!!!!

TBH, I also don't understand people who buy rolex over timex. I don't understand people who buy timex over casio, either. It's not like a car, where there is utility and comfort in stepping up.

A contractor friend of mine, who always has a knife, bought me a benchmade a few years back. I keep it in my knapsack, but in all this time I might have used it half a dozen times...mainly to open boxes!

What do people use these folding knives for unless your hunting/camping?
Yeah right, This is too expensive just to use for opening boxes & cutting banana leaves lol😁

What is this "Call For Price" nonsense on BladeHQ?

Genuine question, why some knives are much more expensive than others? Is it the metal quality? Brand?..?

It is exactly that. It quickly turns into an addiction.

Genuine question, Why did you not read this thread? There's a few explanations for people with the same question as you.

I prefer the uncoated Jade M4 BHQ runs but I have both.
Para 2 Tanto, Para 3 LW, Sage 5 LW, Native Chief and Smock. The Native Chief is the only DLC blade of the five.
M4 is a great steel, stays sharp a long time, pretty tough but it will corrode if neglected.
Most of the BHQ M4 knives become pretty collectible over time.

Had a couple of these, could never get used to the length nor the blade design - just a bizarre combo to me. But, the blade did hold an edge well, and with light honing once a week, maintained it's razor sharpness.

If the design appeals to you, it'll definitely be a workhorse, and well worth the money.


For me, I much prefer the Bugout - have had 2 in use for the past 3yrs.

I posted the Bugout deal last year. This is even better! I thought these were a limited run that sold out in January, but I guess Blade HQ did a restock. The Benchmade DLC coating isn't great. The action and centering on the coated blades isn't nearly as smooth as the uncoated versions. This model also doesn't fit my hand super well. It's a little too long and thin for me. The mini actually feels a lot nicer to me.
