got the 945 recently. my first real nice knife was a 940 that I bought 20 years ago. still have it. I think Benchmade did a marvelous job. It's the perfect Mini. I think Mr. Osborne would have been proud. It has become one of my fav. edc.

Best of luck on your adventures, Zac. Thank you for your humor, insight, and enthusiasm. Back in March, I discovered BHQ's videos. I had always owned and carried a knife, but I wasn't a "knife guy" and I knew nothing of the current knife/edc community. Your love of knives was so infectious that I quickly found myself watching the back catalog of videos and browsing the site for knives that caught my eye. Now, almost a year later, pocket knives have become a full-fledged hobby/obsession. I've even started to dabble in wood carving and para-cord tying. Thanks to your advice, I'm now the proud owner of a Civiv Elementum, which is my favorite knife I've ever owned; it truly is as awesome as you guys hyped it to be. 2020 was one hell of a year. Without knives to help focus my attention, I probably would have lots a few more marbles than I already have! Thank you so much for being excellent ambassador for the knife world. I'm truly grateful for all the entertainment and knowledge. I wish you the best on your next endeavors; I look forward to following along with whatever you decide to share! Thanks, Zac!!!

Sorry to see Zac leave. I've been here since the first banter and I was equally sad when Austin left. However, I gave Zac a chance and I wasn't disappointed. He gave the banters something that is hard to define. Maybe the interaction with Kurt? I don't know. I'm sure if we give Zacs successor a chance, we also won't be disappointed. I whish Zac all best on his new adventure. Keep up the good work!

That Claymore is a tank of a thing. looks like it could handle anything. Both minis look awesome too. The Osborne is perfect sizes for people that don't need to use a knife all time and the Adamas looks like it would be an awesome EDC nice for those people that would use it all the time. The bugout isn't much to write home about though. About time that they made a mini black bugout, it's a no brainer. I also think that the custom tengu is way better than the gold class tengu. The gold class is just to busy and blurs everything together, while the custom keeps it simple with the metal lines flowing through to the handle and gives good contrast

To everyone bitching in the comments about how much overpriced Benchmade knives are or how they can't support a company whom destroys guns and whatnot I say to you then why watch the video? Just to troll? I may think some knives are about $20 over what they should be but I will say I have been a loyal Benchmade collector and fan since the mid '90's and always will be. I bought my first 2 new knives from them in '97 before I went off to basic training and later deployment. One was a Benchmade Area Black Class folder and the other a fixed blade Nimravus Black Class. I carried and used both knives for MANY yrs both in and out of the field and still have them both and in very good condition. I never broke 1 Omega spring or had any issues other than needing an occasional resharpening. All in all amazing experience with there customer service as well. Definitely a lifelong customer here.

У нас в Украине цены на Ваши ножи не посильны для большинства людей. Вот и приходится довольствоваться копиями. Но копии естественно не передают того качества оригинала, что Вы производите. Заходя в оружейный магазин берешь любой нож от BENCHMADE и сразу ощущаешь разницу между оригиналом и копией, этот монолит заставляет не только уважать производство Ваших ножей но и людей, которые столь скрупулезно относятся, я бы даже сказал с большой любовью к своему делу.
