Truth About Push Button Automatic Switchblades in the US Not Allowed with Locks - BOYCOTT BENCHMADE

This is a warning to all knife dealers who sell BOKER Magnum, Kalashnikovs, and Speedlock 3000 models. Benchmade is claiming that they invented the push button automatic switchblade that has a locking device on the knife. This claim is outright nonsense and the patent is narrow in its scope and needs to be revoked. If anyone has the patent CRKT does because they filed a locking device prior to Benchmade on their folding knives and a switchblade is simply a derivative. The problem is huge, Benchmade due file a lawsuit against BOKER but BOKER has alot of money and doesn't take kindly to being bullied around, so Benchmade dropped the suit. Now Benchmade has taken a new approach to things by attacking sellers of these products and either getting the sellers to stop selling BOKER products, making them pay extortion money to the Benchmade company, but with my case I refuse to do anything of the sort and want this all to be settled in a court of law. If you have any information to stop Benchmade please post the details that are relative. Benchmade's new approach is to establish case law with winning against someone and then going up against BOKER on the issue. I will be in contact with BOKER to get specific details on this. Most importantly the rest of the world does not need to adhere to US patents. But anyone selling the BOKER model for conversion or as an automatic knife needs to take the locking device out of the knife until the case is decided. This is a warning for all other sellers to do the same, feel free to mail the plastic lock to Benchmade and voice your disgust with the company. Once the lock is removed there is nothing Benchmade can lay claim to. If one person looses the battle then it will establish case law and Benchmade will continue to destroy small business and knife sellers in the US. So I urge people that understand the issue to stop Benchmade and fight back.

I don't understand, so BM says that there is an infringement because a diy kit is being sold to modify a knife? So...what selling kits to modify stuff to be like something that someone else is selling as a stock product is illegal? So if spyderco or I sell a zip tie with instructions on how to put it on a tenacious we could get sued by emerson for inrfinging on there wave opener? lol my logic is probably wrong somewhere but whatever :P , anyway BM needs to grow up.

@stranger534 Finally another guy with common sense. Yes, it is crazy this did this, they sued so many guys over this and threatened so many others, I was the only one that stood up to the monster and fought back and made their behavior public for all to see. Funny thing is that Smith & Wesson and Schrade re-designed their models making them better actually so it bit Bitchmade in the ass, Boker did a re-design as well. And now their behavior in the business is well known.

Benchmade has lost thousands from just me.

I will never buy one again ! And sell the ones I have before there worth shit from bad press and quality. And I'm not just making my mind up from this posting. Alot of people know what BM is doing nowdays.

@Lvduggo69 I am glad you see I am I not the only one with these views, they sued so many guys just look at the cases all little small guys, and then settled with the big guys behind closed doors and without the courts, but they let the courts and threats deal with all the small guys. It is sick for sure and I hope more will understand this.

I'm talking about a knife from maybe 15 years ago,it was essentially a precursor to the first AFO, and very similar in appearance. IIRC, BM made it but for Al Mar, and it was aimed primarily at the Coast Guard... Are we talking about the same thing? My memory is a little spotty.

[Roadsideimports]

Randall King made things for Al Mar 15 years ago. The Case 3:2005cv01640 October 28, 2005 this is when Benchmade started making items for Al Mar after they sued Randall King.

Model BLK-S The Famous Black Automatic Knife from Charles F. Ochs III, Master Bladesmith. The Tactical folder was originally designed in 1987 for Special Operations applications and has been widely copied since it's introduction. There is only one Original Black Knife.

I hate benchmade, overpriced Crap!

[secrativeninjasniper]

im disgusted that i even live in the same state as benchmade

[potatoheadhaoy]

Well, I am Kershaw`s bitch, owning many of their speedsafe knives, but I just feel like they`re made with more care.

[potatoheadhaoy]

I hate to hate just because this is a hate vid, but I always feel like BM uses most of the money on the materials (which, I may imply, are not all that expensive compared to their prices) and less on the build quality. Reference: bradley kimura VS Mayhem; the kimura has, by far, better tolerances.

[millwrightman99]

Yep

I'll buy a Boker any time over an over-hyped and over-priced piece of Mostly Chinese steel Benchmade even though Boker does make some of em in the peoples republic also ..

I prefer SOG anyway or Spyderco .on some designs.

its difficult to know what is made in North America any more .Then there's those ass holes in Customs to deal with

Its getting so were under more control then the Commies ever were in their hay days

i might still order one of those Bokers if they come up with an S30

[kageoftheshadow]

KICK BENCHMADES ASS!!!!
