"My Benchmade 710 and 525 models see a lot of time, but I own 50+, mostly the older models and toss in the later LE's which are pretty much the only new ones I buy these days. As time's passing I find most of my EDC's are in the…"

Joe Karp replied to matt gesiorski's discussion So what's your current EDC Knife/Knives?"
Brad, nice set of knives. My question is what's the add on to the 810 thumbstud for? Just curious.

Joe Karp replied to Scott King's discussion How naked do you feel when you can't carry your edc? in the group EDC Club"In an effort to placate my chiropracter I stopped putting my wallet in my back pocket, and sometimes I'll forget and leave the house without it...but not my EDC knife, which I have driven back home to put in my pocket, and still forgot the…"
Joe Karp replied to Brad T.'s discussion What did you trade your Benchmade for? in the group Benchmade Addicts"My story; I traded a 2012 Benchmade Forum knife, 22/300 for an equally limited 580-1102 (in M390) 33/50. I've done countless trades over the years, this is the latest in the saga. Cheers!"
Joe Karp replied to Brad T.'s discussion 583 WARN Barrage is to be Discontinued... in the group Benchmade Addicts"I have also heard of the new knife coming, something named the Valli (I think...) which will replace the 583-1. In the Barrage family this is one of my favorites; the G-10 scales are slimmer than the 580/581, and have a nice feature...under the clip…"
Joe Karp commented on Keelen Grimm's group Benchmade Addicts"Among the current line: I would offer the 710 McHenry, 581 and 470 Osborne models. "
Joe Karp commented on Keelen Grimm's group Benchmade Addicts"I would also love to see the 530-111, if that's what it's called. I still own my first BKC product, a 530 in 440C and carry it regularly still."
Joe Karp left a comment for Jan Carter"Thanks Jan and everyone for your greetings, it's a great day and you guys help make it that way! "
Joe Karp commented on Keelen Grimm's group Benchmade Addicts"Hi Frank, that collection, including the PCC/Sampson models is anyone's version of a prize. Very Nice!"
Joe Karp replied to James R. Lucier's discussion Benchmade SERVICE in the group Benchmade Addicts"Sounds good Jim,
I sent my 710-1, 16/250, up for warranty repair for liner replacements to address small dings found right out of the box, and they not only replaced them, the liners were polished and jewelled; then all screws, pivot bolt and clip…"
Joe Karp commented on Keelen Grimm's group Benchmade Addicts"Bjorn; it is hard to learn about Benchmades sometimes. What I will suggest is going to the the company site: www.Benchmadeforum.com and sign in, there is a lot to learn and as nice a bunch of people as are here on Knifecollector, only more…"
Joe Karp commented on Keelen Grimm's group Benchmade Addicts"Good news Bjorn. I suggest folks that favor Benchmades spend a little time on their site, and get to know the products; and any time you and I see a knife advertised as a Benchmade for $20 it's too good to be true. Even the beat up originals go…"
