Very very happy that I went with this vs Infidel. As much as I like Benchmade, the craftsmanship of this Microtech is far superior.
Very nice, congrats!
That shot is so good on a number of fronts. Very much, I like.

Not sure if I’ve posted this one before. Just came across it in the back of the safe

So Benchmade scrolled across my FB screen for $60.00. Yeah…scam I thought. All the comments said the same. Why did I do it…..a fool and his money. But I’ll be damned if this isn’t a legit Benchmade. If it isn’t still worth every bit of $60.00. View attachment 1798225
What gives it away? I’ll see if I can find it.Bro…. WTF!?!?!
what a ****ing SCORE!
Edit: Upon further inspection, it does appear to be a copy. Still a helluva copy for the price.
Got the link where purchased?

Pretty black in the pictures I found. Still can't find any information...lol.I was looking at the CF version of the Bugout and then realized that the blade for the CF model is greyish (satin) not black.
I then looked at the font (S90V) and its not quite right. The real version has more of an italic thicker font. Also, the proximity in relation to the thumb stud. The butterfly is also not quite in the right location, in relation to the contours of the knife.

For the money, still a great purchase, IMO.

Trust me, no way it’s real…I get it. But damn it’s hard to see a difference.Bro, I promise you… Not trying to be bearer of “bad“ news or shit on your purchase. It is a copycat. The one you have is an imitation, for sure, no doubt about it. The more I look, the more apparent it becomes.
The carbon fiber model bugout is $300+

its not just the fact that Benchmade does not make black coated blade Carbon Fiber Bugout models (Unless you are making a custom order). It also has different font for the steel type lettering, the butterfly size and location is off. Its the contour of the bevel. Also, the screw heads.
Where is the link for where you purchased the knife from?
