Botach selling Benchmade made knife for half off

[hso]

I want to point out the folding knife deal they've got at Botach. http://www.botachtactical.com/bl04fokncl.html
The knife is made by Benchmade. The quality of materials and construction is excellent. The price is at wholesale for the Blackwater version (but the standard Benchmade Griptilians can be had for less).

Thank you for the heads up!

 

[Thernlund]

Heh. A Griptilian! I love the Griptilian. I wonder if I could get that Blackwater logo off there. Hmmm...


-T.

 

[hso]

They have it in both sizes as well.

Great deal if they ship it to you. My dealings with Botach lead me to pay more elsewhere for a bit of customer service reliability.

Hi hso. Doesn't this essentially just bring Botach's price on these in line with other internet vendors? Example:

(Unless of course you are looking for one that has the Blackwater logo on it, for extra tacti-coolness. In that case, carry-on).

P.S. - I have no affiliation with the site linked above, although I have ordered from them in the past.

 

[hso]

It sure does. (same knife except for the markings and the blade shape)

You can get it for a few dollars less if you search widely as well.

Thanks for pointing out that the Griptilian can be had without the Blackwater logo for quite a bit less!

Stay far away from Botach...http://www.thehighroad.org/showthread.php?t=265177&highlight=botach
And that is just the first thread I came across here on THR, go to any website and do a search and you will hear the same stories.

I wouldn't order ANYTHING from Botach if I had any reasonable choice.

I've ordered things that never came, had delays of which I was never notified, etc, etc.

I had really good service from Botach (fast shipping; great price). I guess I'm in the minority....

 

[hso]

The key that has worked for me with Botach is to find what you want and then call them to verify that they have it in stock and that they confirm your order over the phone before you finalize the order. Are they worth the trouble? Sometimes, but any trouble with a company has to be worth the extra effort on your part to make it worthwhile.

same knife except for the markings and the blade shape

Now how could it be the same knife if the blade differs by shape?

There is no excuse for patronizing a business which has defrauded customers, no matter how much of a "deal" you are getting...
