Benchmade Knife Company, Inc. set-up shop in Clackamas, Oregon in 1990 (originally founded in California in 1988). The initial knives primarily consisted of the Bali-Song® knives, using a combination of outside vendors and inside processing to build finished products. And like most companies, starting out meant scarce money and big plans, using second hand equipment and limited resources.

Soon, a natural born fortitude and an undying passion to make it right and make it Benchmade, prospered into significant growth. As the product line grew so did the in-house capabilities. We began to acquire new machines and technologies including the first of several lasers, making Benchmade the first knife manufacturer to have such equipment in-house. Open minds and positive attitudes would lead to several more industry firsts over the course of the next several years.

This was only the beginning of Benchmade's breaking of new ground in the manufactured knife markets by using non-traditional materials and modern manufacturing methods in not only building knives better but, inevitably building better knives. The Designer Series was first introduced in 1991 with several custom designs being manufactured. By tapping into the custom knife makers' knowledge and combining it with our manufacturing expertise we were more readily able to offer more contemporary knife designs and innovations to the knife users.

Consecutive years of aggressive growth led to the next logical step in 1996 when Benchmade moved into its own 35,000 sq. ft. facility. A contemporary styled building complete with all of the modern equipment and amenities necessary to manufacture what has become recognized as a higher standard of specialty cutlery.

Today, Benchmade Knife Company, Inc. manufactures knives for a loyal and ever growing following of knife users. As we move into the 21st century we are poised for even more exciting opportunities, innovations and ongoing total world-class quality. Here at Benchmade we employ a simple philosophy- "Make it cool, make it solid, make it happen and definitely make it Benchmade."

  B D. from Chicago, IL

My day to day travels usually include night time train and bus rides in some rough areas and long walks as well. I carry this on my hip secured with a belt. It gives me a little peace of mind that I can take someone down with one very swift pivot. Also, I moved from a state that I had a permit to carry a concealed weapon. Now that I live in Chicago I am not even allowed keep a pistol in my home, let alone carry one. Since those permits don't exist, a knife like this is perfect. The amount of force that can be exerted through this knife is immense, while it still falls under the 3 inch blade law.

I Wish the description would have spoke more of the sheath or included a picture I was nervous when ordering, But Benchmade deffinately pulled through. This is without a doubt the sexiest Knife sheath combo ever created for a punch dagger. I am currently active duty millitary in a location I cant disclose and I dont leave base without it tucked neatly under my shirt. It's great. I just wish that the clip would hold a little more securely on a regular sized belt when turned sideways. But it works perfect with my uniform belt which I bought it for so I cant really complain. Thank you for shipping to an APO and doing it so quickly.
