How to not handle a media crisis when you've been called out for playing both sides of the fence. Just when I thought Troy and Springfield were the case studies on this, Benchmade said "hold my beer." Kudo's to Cold Steel for kicking dirt on the corpse.

Like most every person who does a dastardly deed, he is sorry that he got caught---not that he did the dastardly deed, only that he got caught.
definition: dastardly deed - cowardly, pusillanimous, craven, having or showing a lack of courage, implies a weak or ignoble lack of courage, a failure to stand up for principle, a contemptible lack of courage. |

Benchmade, way over priced. I’ve owned a lot of their auto knives in the past, I’m glad I’ve gotten to see the under current of how they operate. To hell with Benchmade.

I really like their knives but I ain't buying them or this.
I buy too many Spydercos,ZTs, and Cold Steels as it is. Check out Cold Steel's Bush Ranger. Great design, steel, materials, and the tri-ad lock! |

I saw a nice model 62 I really have been wanting for a long time at a BM dealer today. Guy wont move on his price and wasn't aware of the dumpster fire in Oregon right now. I'll give it a bit and see what happens.

I have been carrying one of these on duty for the past 20 years. I don’t need an over priced Benchmade or the owner’s weak ass back pedaling.
Cold Steel and Spyderco are also good options.  Attached File |

That was perhaps the most meaningless and incoherent statement I have ever heard. I have 2 Benchmades somewhere, they are OK, I'm not going to throw them away or sell them, but that clown will certainly never see another penny from me.

The only Benchmades I have are a Presidio Auto that was given to me by a friend in Afghanistan, and it’s beat to shit but still works. The other is a used Auto Stryker. Both decent enough knives, but I never really got into them for one reason or another.
My Spydercos, on the other hand, have been with me all over the world, and just “feel” right every time I pick them up. I’ve never picked up a Benchmade that had that feel, and I’m pretty sure now that i never will. The difference, I think, is in the fact that one company values its customers and the other obviously does not. |

Pressure your local gun store that carries knives, to discontinue carrying them. Write letters to the larger chains that carry them. Or talk to store managers. I’ll also be dropping my my local gun shop, but I’m sure they’re already aware. |

Micro Brews and rain has ruined their minds. It’s all part of the tough guy liberal crap where they say “I don’t need a gun, I’ll use my fist.” That’s what about 1/2 the knife guys are. That and dragon porn.

Alan Gottlieb, the founder of the pro-gun rights Second Amendment Foundation, noted that destroying guns would benefit gun manufacturers.
“If there’s a demand to buy firearms, and the city has destroyed these guns, it just helps the firearms industry selling new guns … If you’re anti-gun it backfires in your face.” |
