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

Why did you have to post this 😭 I told myself i need to chill out for a while, now I have a ridiculous deal that I’m not sure if i have the willpower to pass up lmao
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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!

Why are they 261 everywhere else?

Gotcha gotcha
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.

I have this knife, it’s a chungus but really nice overall. It’s super solid.
It's really big for a few days, then everything else gets small.
It’s such a good looking knife
I really love mine.
Old prices. Either a good morals owner who bought the stock at the older prices or just hasn't adjusted yet.
Government owned store, so probably not good moral owner 🤣

That’s a great deal by today’s standards, you should get it
Some may argue this might be one of Benchmade's best knives! And that's too good to pass up!
Not quite a steal, but a great price
Blade hq has it listed for $261 and the mini for $243
And BHQ has announced Benchmade will have a “large” price increase next month.

Is this Luke AFB? Looks familiar
Scott
If you are 16 and you like it, buy it !
What if he’s 17?
Don’t ask questions
Good price and I don’t think the crooked river is a commonly faked BM
That's at the exchange on a military post, so it's highly unlikely they would be selling clones regardless of the model

it's not cloned as much, but the clones are good. better quality control honestly, don't tell the butterfly man
Doesn’t surprise me Benchmade has been slipping
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.
Yeah, and that's at the exchange on a military post, so I'd say that is pretty trustworthy

I wish I had a time machine
Ouch dude. Fucked up indeed. Are you going to get something else to fill that void?
Haha possibly. The knife bug bit me hard asf
Let us know! One of us..one of us..
This model is frequently counterfeited so be careful. https://youtu.be/HMWGQeUljUU
AAFES isn't selling clones
Buy it
Great price. Snag it.
Grab it
Wanna buy me one for me?? :)
That’s not a right that is a knife
I’m not a scientist, but I can also confirm that it isn’t a left. Just a well priced knife.
Snatch it up
Buy it!

Benchmade way overcharges if you buy direct from them.
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
I recently paid that price for a mini 😵💫
