You are mistaking the intent of the purchasers of these knives. These are intended to be safely tucked away and held in reserve for the SHTF day when civilization collapses and the knife collecting prepper can trade one of these beauties and a 5 gallon bucket of freeze dried chili for the nubile daughter of his starving neighbor.

I love benchmade's, but they can go pound sand with their ridiculous pricing.

I used to buy expensive EDC knives, but found that I was always afraid to lose or damage them, so I would never carry them. I bought a Firebird Gonzo and never looked back. $15, cuts my cardboard boxes fine, holds an edge well and I didn't care if I bang it around or lose it. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BTHSVHRV

Depending on the version. 535BK-08 MSRP is $200 on Benchmade's website, and 535-12 is $190. $180 is for the run of the mill blue version.
Does it sound even crazier when you say that out loud? 😂.. got the 20cv/G10 BHQ variant for $156, Griptillian from $79-99 range, etc. These Focus Camera 35% off deals happen at least quarterly. They're not slick.

Finally a 35% Benchmade deal, but come on...All the good stuff is not there.
These sales from Focus camera come around very often.

Overpriced these days. That being said I have a hard time paying super high prices for a non auto bench made. They make the best auto system I've had and have a great warranty. The one button shoot open is hard to give up.

What are the chances? These are the returns of someone who bought a knock off from AliExpress and then put it in the box and kept the real thing? If you buy a bench made knife anywhere but bench made.com. You should immediately verify that it is authentic because there are nearly identical knock offs on AliExpress for $20

Edit: getting downvoted by auto haters… I guess
you need to add a microtech to your collection then

Seems the new deals from Focus Camera Lifestyle are not including the fixed blade models anymore.

I carry a Microtech Ultratech OTF auto every day but for me the price is worth it for something I really like. I skimp on other things.

I verified the rapid deployment and forward stabbing prep motion along with coinciding deployment, the inertial force can overcome the strength of the benchmade infidel OTF assisted open spring and result in a failed blade deployment. Can't count on that as a defensive weapon

So, I'm pretty sure I'll never own a knife with MSRPs like these... Not knocking on them, just... wow.

FWIW, I've been using the one in the link as an EDC for a long while. Like it enough I gave one to a friend recently. Great flipper, super compact, reliable, love it.

Sadly my neighbor's daughter is hideous. I'll pass.

I've been an outdoorsman for over thirty years and have never encountered a scenario where I've thought to myself, "Wow, if only I had a $300 pocketknife instead of my $30 knife!"

I want to buy one but not even one of you mention if this is made where. I don't want to pay this much that's made from a manufacturing machine that produce hundreds of this in an hour. You know what I mean.
