I have owned three other Benchmade knives and have yet to see one which keeps its edge better than a butter knife. Extremely disappointed with my recent Full Immunity, which requires sharpening twice a week. It's a tool; now it's a paperweight. My last Benchmade. Too much hype and overpriced.

The prices keep rising and quality control keeps falling. I recently handled two Bailouts with the copper scale and magnacut blade. The knife costs $350, so it is close to solid brands like Hinderer at $425 where you don't have doubts about quality. Both samples had uneven and sloppy grinds that don't match product photos or my pre-existing Bailout. And the action on one was super stiff - loosening the pivot a tad created too much blade play. I walked away from it. I hoped things had changed since my last attempt with their knives that came with similar grind issues or blades off center. The designs aren't cool enough to ignore the slop in QC. Try Hinderer, McNees, ZT, Spyderco...so many brands respect their customers with better product execution.

Bought a $400 knife and the action broke within 45 minutes. Went to where I bought it and salesman exchanged it but downsized to a $276 knife. Salesman assured me it has 100% warranty at any dealer. Was in OR when I bought it, and now in MT. It broke again. Drove two hours to the dealer benchmade site had listed and they’ve never carried benchmade. Went to an actual dealer and they don’t exchange but could fix it for a charge but it would void the warranty. Went online to get warranty form so I can send it to benchmade and they will only send it back to a dealer, not back to me but the only one near me is 5 hours away. What a load of bull.
