BENCHMADE new PRICE and BOX for 2026

In this video, I overview the new packaging introduced by Benchmade for their black and blue lines of products, which features a simplified design and eliminates printed materials and cloth storage bags. The updated box now contains only foam for protection. While this change reflects aesthetic improvement over previous models, it raises questions about the associated price increase expected in 2026, likely bringing the knife's cost to around $340. I compare this model to other American out-the-front automatic knives, highlighting its lightweight design and centralized blade placement. The use of crew wear steel for the blade ensures high corrosion resistance and durability. Benchmade continues to provide a lifetime warranty and their Live Sharp program, which allows for professional resharpening. #Benchmade #KnifeReview #OTFKnives
