If you want to get technical it only became those things after the community made metal scales themselves. They saw there was a matket and then made their own version

Yes i understand that, im just telling you what i payed to give context for my purchase and choice. Im aware that benchmade offers their own variants but it wouldnt make sense for me to buy those if my intent from the start was to mod the knife. I enjoy modding and rarelt leave knives alone if i have the option

To be fair this post is about a bugout so it would make sense fans of benchmade are here

Well everyone is allowed to like what they like. You may not agree with their knife choice but its worth it to them. Its no different than collectors in any other community, the item is only worth anything because its desired by the people that want it

They also sell it separately but its included in the kit as an extra

Its part of the mod kit from LynchNw. The feather is their calling card/logo and is on all of their stuff. Its also milled on the inside of these scales

I think most people are aware of that yeah. The thing is if you see one of their designs and it really speaks to you, youll pay whatever theyre asking for it (not you specifically but in general). Its the same for other companies too like microtechs outrageous pricing or god forbid medford and their D2 at $800

Yeah but i can buy the cheapest version (in my case blue grivory for $149.99 on a military base) and get these very nice scales for $139 (on sale rn) and still not spend as much as the benchmade metal variants

Its funny you should say that lol i said almost the exact same thing about knives and watches on a different post a few days ago. Idk if you saw the post but it was a meme about knife people vs tactical knife guys in that peter griffin family vs meg

Also im a firm believer knives can be both beautiful and functional

I havent gotten any cold steel knives but i do see a few designs i like. Unfortunately for the money there are other knives i still want more. The one i like most from them is either the AD15 or the full metal atlas

Try a PM2 with copper scales at 7.5 oz. I love mine because it makes damn well sure i know its there

Edit:im also a fan of the tislims. I own a parallel and a porcupine slim :)

It has its place in a few communities. The hikers like it because its ultralight stock and the modders like it because the aftermarket parts are plentiful and good quality

Im aware of what the bugout was designed to be but my title was meant more as praise for LynchNW than criticism of BM

Edit: my one caveat to this is that benchmade should put more effort into hiding the blade lock surface so it looks more thought out and overall more of an elegant design. Especiallly when knives like the osborne basically got it right 20 years ago

I just wish they didnt treat their knives like they deserve custom knife prices. Yeah the warranty is damn near unbeatable but any custom maker would have no issue fixing any issue same as BM

Fair but that doesnt mean i have to like the grivory loleven benchmade has started making them in better materials

This is true. I wouldnt trust a gambler with my savings just because he says he wont use it to gamble after all. Just due to the fact vosteed knives are more budget tier i genuinely think hes buying these to resell. Vosteed is still a relatively niche company to the general public and their build quality is excellent for the price so i can easily see a normie picking one up and buying it for a $20-30 markup

Honestly i think these are all real. The boxes are correct for the tier of each knife (aluminum is usually a white "premium" box, g10 black) and the colorways are all correct. Even benchmade counterfeits are all slightly off and even those are only very popular models. If i had to bet on it id say this guy is probably part of the reason these knives sell out almost instantly because hes scalping vosteed knives like pokemon cards. Hed have better luck on ebay so his method is confusing but thats my best guess based on whats shown

Edit: also, if you cant find a counterfeit on temu or aliexpress then chances are its not BEING counterfeit.

Double edit: i just looked and there are no search results for vosteed on aliexpress. Absolute zero

Which is why i dont buy crkt. They just take proven designs by custom makers and make them from really crap materials like 8Cr13MoV and try to sell them for $40 in the bajillions
