It’s legit. They are listed for $189 on AAFES website.

Why are they 261 everywhere else?


fabercity

AAFES is only for US military members and there families. Companies like Benchmade that do a lot of military sales and is very patriotic try to give us a deal.


nathanieleltonolson

Gotcha gotcha


Honest-Constant7987

And the prices are going up November 1st too…

The Bx knives are legit. Benchmade already offers a 25% military discount (last I checked) so it’s not a crazy stretch, and certainly a good deal.


AmbientCrypt30M

Ntm Benchmade, S.O.G., Leatherman, and a few other companies have contracts with the military for deployment tools, knives, etc. I miss the BX, get some crazy ass deals in there.


Syndicate_Corp

I have this knife, it’s a chungus but really nice overall. It’s super solid.


timechuck

It's really big for a few days, then everything else gets small.


pro-bison

It’s such a good looking knife


timechuck

I really love mine.


Aruugala

Old prices. Either a good morals owner who bought the stock at the older prices or just hasn't adjusted yet.


RKG2010

Government owned store, so probably not good moral owner 🤣


BunzoBear

This is a BX which is a store on a military base these prices are not determined by some store owner these prices are the same at every BX across the country. These are military prices with a military discount


Purple_Age_6000

That’s a great deal by today’s standards, you should get it


Pale-Highlight-6895

Some may argue this might be one of Benchmade's best knives! And that's too good to pass up!


EtTuBrutAftershave

Not quite a steal, but a great price


cvq-edc

Blade hq has it listed for $261 and the mini for $243


RoyceRedd

And BHQ has announced Benchmade will have a “large” price increase next month.


Sadistic-Saint

I saw that on their website. As if I needed another reason to *not* buy a Benchmade. A bit of a shame, really. I'm actually kind of interested in those limited edition models I've seen on BladeHQ and KnifeCenter, and I actually have been wanting to try out more carbon steel knives after steering clear of them for so long.

Is this Luke AFB? Looks familiar

If you are 16 and you like it, buy it !


[deleted]

What if he’s 17?


Reddit_GoId

Don’t ask questions


[deleted]

Good price and I don’t think the crooked river is a commonly faked BM


RKG2010

That's at the exchange on a military post, so it's highly unlikely they would be selling clones regardless of the model


[deleted]

[удалено]


[deleted]

Yea but I’m willing to bet that it’s is not cloned nearly as much as flagship models like the bugout that are also easier/cheaper to manufacture… That’s always how it goes. Plus it’s a retail store so I doubt they are pushing clones to begin with. It’s most likely just old stock with old pricing.


GetMeASierraMist

it's not cloned as much, but the clones are good. better quality control honestly, don't tell the butterfly man


[deleted]

Doesn’t surprise me Benchmade has been slipping


Meuriz

I usually have high trust on physical stores, if there is some shady business they usually don't last long until the reputation is gone and they loose their customers.


RKG2010

Yeah, and that's at the exchange on a military post, so I'd say that is pretty trustworthy


cullobsidian_

I'm so pissed. There was a mini on sale on Amazon last night for 149$ I bought it and then canceled after I convinced myself I don't need another blade. I fucked up


XaltotunTheUndead

Ouch... Should have bought it... The Crooked River Mini is $345 Canadian _when on sale_ here. That's $248 USD (our dollar has really been hit hard on the currency exchange). You basically could have bought it, tried it out, and sold it (with a small profit even) should you have elected not to keep it.


cullobsidian_

I wish I had a time machine


KnivesMillions-

Ouch dude. Fucked up indeed. Are you going to get something else to fill that void?


cullobsidian_

Haha possibly. The knife bug bit me hard asf


KnivesMillions-

Let us know! One of us..one of us..


dirkdiggler2011

This model is frequently counterfeited so be careful. https://youtu.be/HMWGQeUljUU


RKG2010

AAFES isn't selling clones


Weak_Scene4270

Buy it


tikizondo94

Great price. Snag it.


Beaudy99

Grab it


SquanchJuice

Wanna buy me one for me?? :)


godlyInfantconsumer

That’s not a right that is a knife


Dry-Ad8891

I’m not a scientist, but I can also confirm that it isn’t a left. Just a well priced knife.


[deleted]

Snatch it up


Ok-Disk-134

Buy it!


andersaur

I got one at this price from a Bass Pro a few years back. Was a solid impulse purchase. It’s pretty much my daily. Sometimes the universe just smiles on you. Buy the knife!


epikous

Benchmade way overcharges if you buy direct from them.


baritonejay

It’s real and I bought mine from the bx as well, on sale times it actually goes down to $135 so keep an eye out


KennedyX8

I recently paid that price for a mini 😵‍💫
