If you are going to pony up for a Benchmade, then you better do it when they are on a sale like this. I'm still not going to bite, because I have plenty of mens pocket jewelry that I love at a fraction of those prices. But, if you've got the wallet for it, more power to you. Benchmade builds a sweet knife.
Read too many stories of benchmade not warranting a knife repair and deciding to not send it back to the customer because they deemed it "counterfeit". IE people didn't buy it from them so it didn't qualify for their life guarantee. If youre going to buy benchmade, order direct. Word of caution.
Bought a Shinola special edition Benchmade from my local Shinola store in Detroit. Had it over a couple years and needed it sharpened. Sent it in for cleaning, lube, sharpened with their lifetime program. Whole process went smooth and got it back in just about a week.
Excellent service, even though I did not buy it direct, but through a retailer that even had the retailers brand on one side of it.

To be fair, I've read too many stories of people buying cheap counterfeit Benchmade knives from Alibaba, Aliexpress, Wish, Shop, DHgate, Temu or second hand from someone, then being shocked that Benchmade won't warranty them. There is really no place you are going to buy a real Benchmade knife for pennies on the dollar.
I'm a retired photographer and Focus Camera has been around since the late 60s and has a pretty good reputation. In 2020, Newsweek named them the #1 online consumer electronics retailer, for what that's worth. Focus Camera also has an A+ with the BBB and are an authorized Benchmade retailer according to my research. I doubt they would risk their business by selling counterfeit Benchmade knives.
If I were in the market for a Benchmade knife, I would be all over this deal.
That's great... Focus camera blocked me after going through several of the links. Grr annoying. Their algorithm is broken. Page won't load with my IP anymore.

Are they sketchy?
Why is that? Are they not reputable?
