And for us, it goes beyond simply being innovatively different— Benchmade continually strives to be innovatively better . We believe that when a customer chooses to purchase a Benchmade, they don’t do so just to be different . they do so because they want the best . this mindset of innovating for improvement is alive and well throughout Benchmade . It goes into every design and comes out of every product . Admittedly, it’s definitely not the easiest way to make knives, but it’s the only way we know how . our outside manufacturing partners to ensure our benchmade quality standards are adhered to. from the latest computer aided design (CAD) software and 3-D modeling technologies to just plain knife knowhow gained from years of experience, it’s a test of wills. And when we sign off on the final prototype, the customer always wins. MANUFACTURING The benchmade manufacturing arsenal contains ultramodern laser cutters and machining centers dialed in for spot-on tolerances of 0.0005" on command. Our computerized machining centers offer the precision and control usually found only in the aerospace industry. Most of our products are hand-assembled for a “go together” fit and finish typically seen only in a custom knife. but it’s more than just having modern equipment. for benchmade, it’s having a workforce of skilled and dedicated professionals who know how to make it all work together. We also work with a select group of outside manufacturing partners, who are willing to go beyond working for us — they work with us to deliver the best product regardless of price point. It’s a lot of effort for just a knife, which is why a benchmade knife isn’t “just a knife.” It’s an engineered cutting tool founded on function, built for performance and recognized for both. ENGINEERING Rocket science? Ok, well, almost. It starts with a dedicated engineering department hell bent on getting it right - before a milling machine ever begins its work. It means taking a custom design concept and unique designer personality, and translating it into computer renderings and programs for a multitude of individual manufacturing processes. Our engineers are continually checking and rechecking for perfection, and we are fully integrated with BENCHMADE KNIFE CO. 37
