Check this out...
Really interesting to see the BHQ recipe being used by KC here. DCA, in the latest "New Knives of the Week" video, claims it's because they had some extra parts leftover from the custom shop. Maybe BM offered these leftovers to BHQ first, and they turned it down?
There's a Barrage, too.

I think I saw something like that going on with KnifeWorks a couple weeks ago too. Pretty odd and interesting.

I saw a color picture today in an email from REC at the bottom for their family site . I’m not sure really what I think of it to be honest . Just my opinion it seems off black blade, Aluminum bolster then going to the Jade G10 seems too busy for my taste. Then again others may like it . MG2

Interesting. DCA mentioned it as a Knife Center Exclusive, but I see it here at REC - also claimed to be an exclusive.Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 6:45 pmI saw a color picture today in an email from REC at the bottom for their family site .

Yes I found it odd . I opened picture believe it goes to Instagram to a bunch of pics of knives . Strange REC would highlight a competitor’s exclusive.kennethsime wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 8:34 pmInteresting.

I wonder how many other vendors are claiming that they have a fresh new BM exclusive?Manixguy@1994 wrote: ↑Fri Sep 30, 2022 8:39 pmYes I found it odd . I opened picture believe it goes to Instagram to a bunch of pics of knives . Strange REC would highlight a competitor’s exclusive.
Could be that someone at Benchmade has some explaining to do.

Re: New Knife Center Exclusive Benchmade... in Jade G-10 + M4
Ok what I found the Mini is offered by REC which appears to be a limited edition and possibly elsewhere the large is an exclusive at KC . I could be wrong but think this may be correct . MG2
