That's a lot to take in lol!

I have a few Benchmades and they're some of the best knives in my collection, but yeah they are a little overpriced. The Barrage Mini is one of my very favorites of all of my knives though! It's got the most comfortable handle, and the size makes it very versatile. This one I actually paid extra to have customized in their design shop with Bret "Hitman" Hart colors and it even says "excellence of execution" on the blade because I am a gigantic nerd lol

I never leave the house without that Baton 3! It's just the right size to not take up too much room in my pocket, and the magnetized base has all kinds of great uses. I recently found a new use for the two way pocket clip! I was waking home from the store after dark and realized if I clipped it pointing down into my shopping bag it turns it into a bag shaped lantern lol

I have beat this watch to hell in the last 3 years but you can barely tell. It's ended up underwater on a number of occasions and never had any issues!

I don't know what they make vegetarian leather out of, but it feels just like real leather to me, is a fraction of the price, and holds up a pretty long time. Real leather would probably be a little more durable, but that shits expensive lol
