Any one have an opinion on Lone Wolf knives from experience???

[orvet]

I don't Gino, I don't own one.
But if they are now made by Benchmade...........
It's a good thing!

[FRJ]

gino, the action on the Lone Wolfe is smooth and secure. I haven't put it through any "tests" and don't intend to, but so far it is a very valid knife. I am happy with it, but it is amazing what one will pay for an articulating pencil sharpener.

[gino]

Thanks Dale, I was hoping that holds true.

FRJ, LOL! thats right!

[gino]

Can anyone tell me where the new Benchmade 40021 TAILOUT folder is made??? It doesnt say on the Benchmade website and I have sent them several emails asking with no response in a week. I saw the knife listed in two differnt stores, knifeworks says USA and the other which I cant remember says imported. does any one know for sure???
Thanks Gino

[johnnierotten]

I don't know,Gino....that TAILOUT sure has a Japanese look to it for some reason.

I have the first Benchmade but the other two I have sold.....I wish that I hadn't...I really liked the 2nd one,it was a Mel Pardue model.
All 3 are auto's.

[gmusic]

I'm like that auto Johnnie. Looks familular........................

[gino]

Thanks for sharin them Johnnie. I am afraid you might be right about the Tailout????
I am gonna do some investigatin! LOL!

[johnnierotten]

[GeorgeCAtl]

I've got this one.....which I like alot
585 Mini Barrage with Axis-Assist Lock

[johnnierotten]

Nice....I like the finger grooves/cutouts.

[gino]

yeah, thats sweet George! And it has the axis too!

[vieu101]

Some nice ones being shown.....here my one and only bench made

[wazu013]

Can you guys help me pick out my first Benchmade. To start with I don't know what the axis lock is. I own a Lone Wolf D/A Lobo and a V&K D/A scale release. I love them both. What I would like from Benchmade is something that is first and formost made in U.S.A. and I prefer an auto, scale release is my favorite but I do have a few leverlocks by Hubertus and Beltram and the standard push button made by AKC and an old picklock from EIG cutlery. Plus I have a Buck 110 D/A conversion with a paddle button and spring release. I collect vintage Case knives that I never carry except to show. Right now my EDC is the Vallotton Diskin scale release. It has AUS10 steel and it really does a nice job. My EDC was the Buck 110 D/A conversion that is really well made but it is to heavy in my pocket and the sheath just kept getting in my way. I have really come to like a pocket clip on my EDC. I am hoping you people can put me onto something that I can use for my EDC with a 3" to 4" blade and a hard working handle material and pocket clip. Let me know what you think.
Thanks in advance,
Wazu013

I would recommend pretty much any of them......if your going to buy online I would suggest one of these sites. http://www.bladeops.com or www.myswitchblade.com
They seem to have the most reasonable prices and fast safe shipping.

[JoeBob441]

This is the only Benchmade that I own. The blade is etched "BENCHMADE/USA/551". It is a carry knife and has about the best locking system of any knife I have or have seen. Once sharp it stays sharp. Sorry for the bad picture. The handles are green.

Thanks for the site.....looks like they have some good deals.

[Archer]

That's a good looking knife Joebob, looks like a worker.

[gino]

Nice mini griptilian Joe. that is going to be my next one I hope! i amost bought it but went with the sequel and now i cant stop looking at that mini grip! LOL!

[gino]

Well this Tailout that I pre-ordered and paid for last week from Benchmade itself, I found out its made in China ::drag::
When I first saw the knife it was in the Knife works site and it said (and still does) made in USA.
I believe it is Lone Wolves only import for Benchmade. I knew all the other knives they made for them were USA made so I assumed this was too.
Well you know what they say when you assume?

JR, you called it brother

[johnnierotten]

Still a good look'n knife.

[gino]

Yeah, I liked it because it was a traditional looking knife and I never saw a Benchmade that looked like it.

[johnnierotten]

Looks cool....make a great EDC.
Reminds me of the older Gerbers and Kershaws.

[gino]

I might try it as a EDC but I doubt it could take the place of my Case xx copperhead.
I just liked it because it was a traditional looking knife from Benchmade. I wish I would have known it was imported before I paid for it.
