Videos tagged with Benchmade Auto

This video reviews the Benchmade 9050 Auto, a knife deemed too bulky and heavy for duty use by the reviewer and their military unit. Despite its perceived bulk, the reviewer highlights the knife's strengths: a super strong, fast-deploying, and comfortable automatic mechanism with a 154CM blade. The NSN version features a combo edge due to contract specifications. The reviewer concludes that while the knife is a quality automatic, its weight and bulk make it less suitable for frequent carry, especially compared to other available options. The description also includes a legal note regarding the shipment and possession of switchblade knives under US Code 15 US 1244, particularly concerning contracts with the armed forces.

This video reviews the Benchmade AutoPresidio 5000, a tactical automatic knife. The reviewer highlights its strength, balance, and reliable Axis lock, noting the 7000 series aluminum scales and skeletonized steel liners contribute to its robust build. Despite a higher price point (around $200) and a weight of 5.6 oz, the knife is praised for its fast deployment, secure lockup, and durable 154CM drop point blade. The reviewer mentions that colored models were limited editions and typically AutoPresidios come with satin or black blades. The video also briefly touches upon the legal aspects of switchblade shipping and possession under US 15 US 1244, particularly concerning military contracts.
