I wonder what would happen if they just admitted that they fucked up. No more cutting up guns for the PD and start openly donating to pro 2A politicians, admit your fuck up and work to fix it. I’d have more respect for that. View Quote |

Looks like he is lying...

How fucking pathetic...
The only thing worse than a gun grabber is a gun grabber with no balls. |

Their Axis Assist blades need a market replacement, as there currently isn't one.
Anyone make something like it, with assisted opening? |
|

that was pretty weak... they should have held off and put together something much more forceful and coherent if they're really interested in mending this wound... I get the feeling they don't really understand how serious it is what's happening here.
CEO just threw something together before lights out Friday night.. not real clever.. |

Terrible statement and he was blinking so much he could have started a brush fire.

That was a commercial, not an apology.
Jesus hire a PR agency. What a bumbling ham fisted response. I always thought they were a high end company, look more like some bubba shop. |

How do we search for members by name? (Would think I would kniw by now, never had to)
Someone needs to @ bombards body language (99% sure she's been here before) and ask her to analyze "the apology" Her regular site: https://bombardsbodylanguage.com/2019/02/22/body-language-my-husbands-not-gay/ She did some great analysis during the various hearings last year. |

The real impact will be if large retailers like BladeHQ and GPKnives step up and kick Benchmade to the curb.
Think I’ll be sending them an email. View Quote |

He who lives by the sword (knife) shall die by the lack of sales of the sword (knife!!) Spyderco for me from now on.

I've carried a Benchmade daily for years, own quite a few of their knives, and have purchased quite a few for family and friends and have really been a fan of BM knives, but after watching that video, I won't purchase another BM knife. After the initial post of cutting guns and then the discovery of the political donations, I was holding out to see if and what BM's response would be. That video sealed it for me.

I skimmed the first two pages, but obviously I'm missing something. What did they do that was so wrong? And prompted this statement?

Lots of talk, didnt say shit View Quote @0:18 - they are one of the finest manufacturers of cutlery in the US @0:35 - they are great citizens and great people doing great jobs @0:55 - that being a great member of the community somehow "besmirched their reputation" @1:10 - he is proud to say they support the second amendment and have for 35 years (other than, you know, donating to people who want to destroy it) @1:35 - he is setting the record straight (not apologizing) Basically, he said they are great. There is nothing to apologize for. He is setting the record straight. And he said it blinking and fidgeting like a madman and they still needed to edit the fuck out of it. |

Look up the word milquetoast, ol' Les's picture is featured.
Fat ass, Bernie Sanders lookin', motherfucker. Please choke on a dick. |

Quoted: Their AXIS patent expired a few years ago, so other companies are starting to implement it. Hogue has a nice RitterGrip at the moment. View Quote |

Pretty sure I read that the Hogue HK line is using the axis system in their knives. https://www.hogueinc.com/knives/hk/exemplar View Quote |

Can you imagine what it's like in the HQ right now? Everyone sitting in the dark around a table, going "What the fuck do we do now? Boss, you've got to make a statement. You've got to walk this back."
"Ok, but I'm going to be very noncommittal and it's going to need heavy editing so I don't say what I really mean." "We can work with that." |

Burn After Reading - What Did We Learn? This came to mind for some reason. |

His body language is so terrible.
He’s not sorry and will cut up the next gun he sees. |
