Benchmade Crapfidel

Don't buy an infidel. For $350+ you'd expect a little better quality than this. I bought it brand new about 2 weeks ago. I'm going to try and get it exchanged for another one or my money back. Military grade...are they serious?

It came from the factory like that...so I guess you could say benchmade does not take care of their knives. Your secod reason is irrelevant that would have nothing to do with it. The knife got stolen from me anyway

I have the BM Skirmish. That's an amazing knife. I'm planning to buy the BM 760BK. A good knife is good knife regardless who makes it, so if I like a knife and I can afford it I will buy it even though it's made in China or Mars or whereever, or made by a liar, unethical company. It doesn't mean I'm ignorant, but for me the product is the priority. By the way the BM Infidel is really a piece of shit. I would never buy it. Thanks for video.

I haven't heard too many good reviews (if any) of the Infidel. Hopefully Benchmade reworks it. Most of the negative criticism is regarding the weaknesses of the knife's inner mechanisms. The failure to fires that you maybe be having may be due to much oil. Sell it and get a Piranha Excalibur.

hahahahahhahahaa not laughing at you my friend, just 1 more example of why bench made used to be a good knife company and why i won't touch them now, they should be priced at 1/2, and revamp their quality control, bench made is an example of a company who has outgrown itself

@jamiedm4 How long have you had that knife? Was it a factory defect? For $350-400 that performance is totally unacceptable. Have you tried to get BM to repair it?

@christianbiker1006 100% couldnt think of a better way to say that

[nanashi1o3]

had the same prob with mine just tuf-glide that bitch she'll loosen up real fast 

[christianbiker1006]

it cant fire through paper casue it wasnt designed to...its on a glider system that can derail itself....its a safety thing...if for whatever reason it accidentally fires in your pocket or sheath or whatever it doesnt just rip into you or anything else for that fact....theres a differance when something is crap and when its designed that way. It probably is an oil or lint issue...if it was a bad spring it wouldnt fire at all. Everything in the world can fail at some point...just needs maintained

@antiark1 No, all Infidels have those weak springs which if you don't oil often will fail on you

[antiark1]

@jamiedm4 im sure benchmade would have no problem replacing it, looks like you have probably gotten a bad spring, defects happen with any company

[EDOGVT]

the reason it isnt working is 1. you do not take care of youre knives and 2. you deploy the blade ever 2 seconds

it looks cool
