Damn, the fucking Pope could not even pardon Benchmade at this point. Talk about your unpardonable sins.
They might have survived within the 2A community either with a one-off cutting-up guns snafu or donating to Dems but not both.

Quote HistoryQuoted: How much are we hurting them? what is an average price of a knife? How many people here won't buy them anymore? I want them to go under! Figure $50 avg price of a knife, at least 1000 posters here who won't buy from them anymore. That's 50g's! You're going to have to stop saying "we" if your figurin' is that far off. |

Any videos of chopping up Benchmade knifes? Quoted:
Waaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyy back in this thread. And I believe there are some on the benchmade facebook. Quoted:
Look. I think Benchmade fucked up here, and they probably won't see another dime from me (which sucks, because I am a HUGE Axis lock fan.  ). But destroy something for which I paid good money, because they did something with which I don't agree? Why? The knives are still pretty damn fantastic. They cut wonderfully. They lock up nice. They function great. I'd much rather make Benchmade support this knife (Lifesharp. They clean, oil, adjust and sharpen) on THEIR dime, for the life of the knife.That's far better than "WOOOOHOOOOO, IMMA BLOW UP MY YETI CAUSE FUCK THEM IN THEIR ASSES!" "MAH BITCHMADE KNIFE? FUCKIT! ANGLEGRINDER!" But hey, y'all go ahead. |

Benchmades are what got me into knives but honestly once I started exploring other brands out there they're pretty meh. I haven't bought one in years and certainly don't plan on doing so now. Not that they've had anything that has really interested me for a while now anyway. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Yep. Also some cucks in there who are doubling down on their support of Benchmade. Some of them are using interesting mental gymnastics to try and close the "I'm a gun owner, RKBA supporter, but..." loop. At least the honest ones just say "I don't care". Hard for me to care much about the trading torch time for scrap metal. I don't like seeing guns cut up, but it happens for a myriad of reasons. I think more PDs need to be required to auction all guns they can. What I hadn't seen was the political donations. That's messed up. I still see a lot of hypocrites here who left us with Captain red flag laws as POTUS as the only option getting high and mighty about this. ETA: those giggling about my Chinese knockoffs are supporting a communist regime that wants America destroyed as well. |

Quote HistoryThere is a difference between buying something from a company when you are unaware of their politics, and buying something from a company when you ARE aware of their politics and they are actively contrary to your own. That Patagonia he's wearing is a perfect example. He's saying people shouldn't speak out when they don't understand, and yet there he is doing exactly that. It's 2019, the political landscape has become a battlefield, running around on it with a surrender flag will not serve as an aide. |

Lets set aside the political donations from the owners to the liberals. It's the fact that Benchmade was also willing to cut up firearms, whether confiscated or turned in. IMO that makes me think they'll do it after a ban, and willingly. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Benchmade's "official post" on their FB page is over 5000 comments. From my browsing, about 99% are negative.
I've already seen a FB post by a smaller knife dealer where they said "we stock and sell knives from many manufacturers but none of them consult with us before doing something stupid". I bet the dealers are starting to worry about all the Benchmade stock they have on hand. Benchmade enforces MAP for dealers, so it's not like you can use discounts to move them... |
