Benchmade Knife Company, Inc. set-up shop in Clackamas,
Oregon in 1990 (originally founded in California in
1988). The initial knives primarily consisted of the
Bali-Song®
knives, using a combination of outside vendors and
inside processing to build finished products. And like
most companies, starting out meant scarce money and
big plans, using second hand equipment and limited resources.
Soon, a natural born fortitude and an undying passion
to make it right and make it Benchmade, prospered into
significant growth. As the product line grew so did
the in-house capabilities. We began to acquire new machines
and technologies including the first of several lasers,
making Benchmade the first knife manufacturer to have
such equipment in-house. Open minds and positive attitudes
would lead to several more industry firsts over the
course of the next several years.
This was only the beginning of Benchmade's breaking
of new ground in the manufactured knife markets by using
non-traditional materials and modern manufacturing methods
in not only building knives better but, inevitably building
better knives for sale. The Designer Series was first
introduced in 1991 with several custom designs being
manufactured. By tapping into the custom knife makers'
knowledge and combining it with our manufacturing expertise
we were more readily able to offer more contemporary
knife designs and innovations to the knife users.
Consecutive years of aggressive growth led to the next
logical step in 1996 when Benchmade moved into its own
35,000 sq. ft. facility. A contemporary styled building
complete with all of the modern equipment and amenities
necessary to manufacture what has become recognized
as a higher standard of specialty cutlery.
Today, Benchmade Knife Company, Inc. manufactures discount
automatic knives as well as many other popular knives
for a loyal and ever growing following of knife users.
As we move into the 21st century we are poised for even
more exciting opportunities, innovations and ongoing
total world-class quality. Here at Benchmade we employ
a simple philosophy- "Make it cool, make it solid,
make it happen and definitely make it Benchmade."
