Deal Details
Update for December 11:
With any purchase over $165, receive a free Buck 110 Hunter LT, use code '110'. Again, you can stack the 'ABC' code for the book.

Update for December 10:
With any purchase over $50, receive a free Kershaw Cinder, use promo code "CINDER"
Might pair well with something like a Boker Kalashnikov - but keep in mind, shipping for purchases under $99 is ~$7. Maybe an excuse to get 2 Bokers so you get free shipping? If you clear the $85 purchase mark, you can also stack the "ABC" code for the book.

Update for December 9:
With any purchase over $125, receive a free Gerber Slimsada, use promo code "SLIMSADA" + Free 'K for Knives' book, use promo code "ABC"

This is almost an update to my last post for a deal at Blade HQ where if you purchased the Benchmade Shootout, you got a free CIVIVI Scintilla and a fun kids-like book on knives. They ended the 'Cyber Week' promo and started a new series of promos titled the '12 Blades of Christmas. Seems like every day for the next 12 days ~noon Eastern time, Blade HQ will offer a new freebie with qualified purchase. So if you don't like this CRKT Seis freebie.... wait until the next day. I promise I won't post a new listing every single day. I'll likely just add the new free knife with related promo code in the comments to this post if I can get to it every day unless one of you beats me to it.

The first blade of Christmas is a free CRKT Rogers Seis Liner Lock knife https://www.bladehq.com/item--CRK...fe--138963 for any purchase over $150. I like the form and look of this as better (different than what I have) than the CIVIVI (more in line with what I already have) - but can't honestly speak to the function, quality or finish of this CRKT Seis. You get the CRKT Seis Liner Lock Knife (they claim value of $75) and the 'K for Knives" kids book (valued at $20) for free on any orders over $150.

Just apply promo codes 'SEIS' and 'ABC' at checkout.

This offer could be used for any purchase over $150, but I use the Benchmade Shootout https://www.bladehq.com/item--Ben...01--218767 for the base purchase, as the $199.99 sale price is 39% off normal retail ($325) might warrant a SD post on it's own even without these freebies. And yes, this offer would also work with the Microtech UTX-85s on sale as well like this one https://www.bladehq.com/item--Mic...tic--74098 which seem to be ~20-25% off, depending on model.

Have fun searching for applicable knives that qualify - please post your favorite findings here!

Again, check your local knife laws.

If it hasn't shipped yet, I'd try calling and see if you can switch it. Based on my experience, Blade HQ actually practices the lost art of customer service. Good luck!

Order has been processed and shipping label is created so no longer make any chage.

Might place another order and return the original order.

Any other knives in this price range that are better than Benchmade to qualify for this deal?

People still buy these overpriced knives? Especially from this anti-gun company? Lot of better companies to support that don't assist the government in destroying people's firearms.
This seems like a reasonable request from local police that spun out of Benchmade's control or preference. But you do you. I grew up in Clackamas County, and this is the type of landmine you might step on if you deal with any government agency there - so shame on Benchmade I guess for trying to help out local cops. https://www.recoilweb.com/benchma...47462.html

Oh and this isn't just a Benchmade deal. It's mainly a Blade HQ deal where I also referenced Microtech.

A good deal for what they always ask for it, but at the price I would much rather go with a Kershaw Livewire.. better handle material with aluminum and better blade material at Magnacut

I picked the Benchmade Shootout as the 'base purchase' for this deal as it's pretty rare to see a Benchmade advertised for 39% off - and at $200, it closely cleared the first free with purchase hurdle of $175 (Cyber Week) without going over too much ($150 for yesterday's, now $125 for today's).

I ordered the Shootout and the Microtech UTX 85. I plan on ordering the Livewire 9000CF as well. I was intending to pick the favorite of the three - but I fear I'll end up owning all three. Every "child" deserves love.

Benchmade has gone downhill...much higher prices (even before recent inflation) and noticeably lower quality.

I mean this is a $200 knife (on sale) with a glorified plastic handle Facepalm

I went to replace my 2550 reflex auto a few years back and the pivot was so sloppy I couldn't remove blade play to a reasonable level and still deploy the knife. Even the dealer admitted it shouldn't have passed QC.

They need to get back to basics. Until then, Benchmade is a no.

It is also $50 more than this deal on Benchmade knife. I have never owned a BM knife so splurged on this deal.

Enjoy it. Great that you got it for quite a good deal (that really doesn't happen as Benchmade controls pricing strictly) relative to normal pricing. Interesting you started with an OTF. The gateway Benchmade is usually the Bugout - I have like 4 of those variants. Next for me after this Shootout is the Barrage Mini AXIS assisted opener.
