Benchmade AXIS lock demonstration.

[jackjjames]

What are the model knives in video?

[GunShotWound308]

Thats insane man

[TheCanadianKnifeGuru]

you could put on your own little show!

[greene865]

i can do better than that

[wadefulp]

@greene865 this video is 4 years old, and I was trying to show the action while staying in the frame of the camera. I wasn't going for my best.

[greene865]

@wadefulp gotch ya

[JustMyHonestOpinion]

We have a good bit of time on our hands now don't we. Great knives, just be careful!

[nedge46]

sweet



[GlaBurnzUrHouseAK47]

that skill makes spring assisted too expensive for what a axis lock can do

[wadefulp]

@GlaBurnzUrHouseAK47 yeah, I'm not a fan of assisted openers. I find they take longer to open, are more of a pain to close, and are just more dangerous in general. With the AXIS lock I can effortlessly open and close the blade, and my fingers never leave the handle and get in the path of the blade. Almost all other knives require you to put a finger, or fingers, in the path of the closing blade to disengage a liner lock, frame lock, lock back, etc.

[cubixthe]

That's fast, but what actually takes time is to position it in Your hand the right way after it comes out of Your pocket ;) Include that and it's not that fast anymore :P

[wadefulp]

@cubixthe it actually takes no time to position it in my hand. It comes out of my pocket in the proper position to flip it open.

[bigbubba5037]

that is all i do with my benchmades hahaha

[coreyxbell]

i love how there's a crib right there. hahah

[wadefulp]

LOL, no one was in the crib at the time. Everyone was safe upstairs.

[ColdSteelcollecter]

so by demonstration...how much weight does it hold?

[wadefulp]

I'm not sure, but I have heard people say the lock can support over 800 pounds before failing.

[beingbanana]

would this make it count as a gravity knife? being illegal in california?

[wadefulp]

Yes, it probably could count as a gravity knife. To avoid this you can tighten the pivot screw so the blade won't simply fall open with gravity. It would require a harder flick, or constant force to push the blade open. So you can adjust it to open as firmly or loosely as you'd like.

[ColdSteelcollecter]

but if its design is of a gravity knife, why would they pickpocket you to check your pivot screws are tightened and you dont have the tool to loosen it as you walk away lol i think if youre not getting in trouble you shouldn't worry.

[kuroganeki]

It does not count as a gravity knife. I've seen it in a wal-mart in california before.

[DaOneAndOnly3]

I'm sold! Axis lock it is. Here I come.

[Wiggling]

hey dude... can you tell me your opinion to the HK37 from benchmade with the axis lock?

[Pyzelen]

holy crap im not comin near you anymore for autographs!

[xtheshame]

Any way to tell what knives are illegal in different states? I'm looking at a bunch of benchmades but all/most of the ones I like are axis locks and I'd like to know if it could be considered illegal for me to own one.

[wadefulp]

Google "Knife laws" and find your state. Can be difficult to figure out the legal terms sometimes, but it should give you a general idea. You can always call your local DA and ask.

[bkisme]

In a lot of places, switchblades are illegal, but these aren't switchblades :p

[psychojackrabbit]

as long as it isn't over the blade length limit then you should be good

[ziggy95340]

do u hav2 loosen the blade to make it flick in and out like that

[jesjes2]

no just if you hold down the lock then it makes it lose so you can flick it out and back in really fast

[bryze05]

Nope, the axis lock system is ready to go soon as you take it out the box. U just gotta' get used to it and practice for a few min...

[1InsideMan]

Nice action. Request: Can you make a quick video of your AFCK? You would be the first, would be nice. Keep em Razor Sharp!

[JADYONE]

Love my benchmades, the rukus is a bad ass knife, highly recommended

[wadefulp]

I've been tempted to get a Rukus. I've gotten to the point where I have so many knives I've been trying to not buy as many, but the Rukus is very tempting.

[EaziD]

You should get it. Next up in the inventory are the 943, 3300BK, 175, and others.

[Yesmaamiagree]

You're an idiot if you buy the 3300.

[EaziD]

My 3300 works flawlessly. But then again why should you care?

[Yesmaamiagree]

That doesn't mean it's a good or smart choice of OTF auto. The infidel is a really cool knife, but one of the least valuable otfs on the market right now. With the infidel, you're paying more for less knife. Pirhana and Microtech have some great ones.

Then again, some auto's get pretty pricey, so in a sense the 3300 could be an economy auto! I suppose it all depends on how you're looking at it.

If it was higher quality, I would've bought it the first day I fondled it in the local knife shop.

[EaziD]

You are right.... My microtech ultratech is definitely mush stronger than the 3300. But I like the feel and design of the benchmade. But it could use better springs. Either way... it has its place in my small collection, and in my pocket. Only paid like $275 for mine. new

[owensmouth]

Benchmade 772 Mel Pardue Black Tanto kicks ass

[kevlarman]

Yay for the AFCK!  I love mine!

[jayanthonyvillanueva]

there was a gun magazine that had a benchmade h&k knife surefire knife and anther cool knife. is there anyone who knows what that knife was or the magazine.

[poorman35953]

The HK knife is part of their HK line, but I had no idea they made surfire knives.

[LordSpyderco]

Axis locks are pretty cool, sadly enough, though, they might be labeled as "gravity knives" because under the laws defenition, the Axis lock could be considered a "switch, or button".

[wadefulp]

If you leave the pivot to loose it could fall into the "gravity knife" category. You can always tighten it though. My state doesn't have a gravity knife law, as far as I know. Only automatics are illegal.

[ChipShuhart]

LOL, we get it, its easy

[nitwitbeer]

Gotta love Benchmade's axis-lock.

I've got a few and love the SOG arc-lock's too, see vids

[magochelsi]

terminas de hacer eso y PUM.. tiro en la cabeza :P

[Bungwrench]

To me they looked like a Benchmade 710, an 806D2 AFCK, and a 730 Ares.

Great vid. Thanks for sharing. :)

[skomae]

What model is that? I first thought Benchmade Vex, but the Vex is a liner-lock.
