That poster who posted about the tyranny of family-owned businesses nailed it.
The owner”s  boys told him he had to make a statement, but they also were too scared to tell him what he needed to say.  And the owner does not understand the ferocity of the shitstorm.

I'm not a knife guy at all...the extent of my "knifery" is to buy a Mora off of Amazon once a year and call it good.

But, after watching that video, I strangely feel like I need a Cold Steel knife to carry around with me.

That was a statement, but it wasn't much of a clarification and it certainly wasn't an apology.

I'm not sure what he was saying, other than, "We will continue doing what we've been doing."

What was the point of that?

Actually - as rough as it was - it was just what they wanted.  He did a lot of talking and actually said NOTHING about firearms.  But a lot of people think he did (including people in this thread).

Benchmade could simply have said no to the PD when asked to help destroy firearms.  Also, the PD needed specialty equipment to destroy the firearms?

Since when is a chop saw "specialty" equipment?  Easy enough for the PD to buy a 200.00 dollars saw from Harbor Freight.

Why don't you people understand that the gun had to be cut down to fit in a box?!?!?!  There's only one size box in the world available to be used for this purpose and Benchmade has the specialty equipment to cut the gun down to fit in this box!!  Why don't you people understand this????!?!?!?

Well... morning is here.  I slept on my decision all night.  Still couldn't decide between a Zero Tolerance or the Spyderco Manix 2.  So I ordered both.  And a Kershaw.

Interestingly enough, I learned that Amazon won't ship a freakin' pocketknife to the People's Republic of Massachusetts.   Good thing I still have the NH address.  I swear, every day on this planet seems slightly more disappointing than the one before it.

I wonder if the owner of a certain firearms company in Oregon will still be making the Benchmade tactical pens for them, or if he'll refuse the purchase orders.

Poorly done, both in timing (48 hrs later, really?) and content.

I really don’t care about the destroying crime guns a court ordered destroyed. NBD. If it saved the taxpayers of that city money it’s probably a good thing.

What I do care about is the donations to the left. The ongoing pattern of that tells me all I need to know.

That whole “bribe” or “protection money” excuse doesn’t work with me. Mr de Asis sold his company’s soul to the enemies of liberty (and business), and doesn’t seem too apologetic about it. I’ll let the fictional Gunnery Sergeant Hartmann express my thoughts on this (profanity warning):

Nice public statement.  Calculated to placate us and not make the Dems mad either.

Nice explanation in the description for why you give money to politicians who would take away our rights.

So why did you disable the comments on the YouTube?

Lol....I'm more pissed off after the video, than the initial reports.   His speech there truly ensured I'll never spend a dollar with them, and I'll tell everyone I meet the history of Bitchmade.

You can clearly see that man views certain animals as having more rights than others.   He's an authority worshipper as well.

Spyderco has locks where the mechanism is in a similar spot to the axis lock.

Manix 2 and others.
