The Benchmade Knife Company is located in Oregon City, Oregon, and its knives (except for the "Red Class" products, which are currently manufactured at an offshore facility) are proudly made in America.

Whether it's simply opening mail or slicing through a nice, thick steak, my Benchmade knife always gets the job done. I've had it for years, and use it daily.

One time when I was looking for some scrap wood for the fireplace, I used my Benchmade to cut a 2x4 in half. While there are obviously better and faster ways to cut lumber, it's nice to know that you can.

Also, believe it or not, I've actually shaved with this knife a couple of times, and didn't even need shaving cream. Now that's tough!

Welcome! Thanks for visiting.

This is the United States of America. Yes, we've got problems, and yes, we've got challenges. But if you look back over the history of this great nation, there have always been problems; there have always been challenges. Yet together there is no problem we cannot solve; no challenge we cannot overcome. This is the United States of America, and it's time we lived up to our name!
