Benchmade Knives...Who would want them at a good price?

http://www.benchmade.com/

suppose you had a line on a place that could get them to you, at say, 25% below retail. would you be interested?

btw, it'd be for any knife except the autos.

The stuff is pretty good but Benchmade once had marketing issues of the type that I've sworn off the brand in perpetuity.

If you're going to take on a line that discourages internet discounting and fly under the radar, may I suggest a line made by someone whose name sounds like

[codetalk] the late actor that portrayed Superman in several movies and makes a folder named for "work" in some African language[/codetalk]

I'd be in for a couple of those.

Besides, why would I buy Benchmade when the real Elishewitz is just down the road from me?

25% off? You mean something like http://newgraham.com ?

okay, no big deal. 30% below retail. and while were at it, a guarantee the shipping charges won't be jacked up like a lot of other places do.

oh and also working on offering Reeves knives as well.
