I read on another forumj that BM is now only selling through approved dealers and enforcing MSRP pricing.

I find it hard to believe that a reputable company like BM would engage in such anti-competitive, anti free market practices. Please, someone tell me it isn't true! Confused

From what we have gathered...

1.) Benchmade is now dealer direct only. No distributors.

2.) Benchmade will enforce MAP, which may or may not be MSRP.

Not sure what their rational is?
Self inflected shot in the foot?
Or pure genius on their part?
Bottom line will tell.

IMHO, this is not the best time to experiment.

There it is, in black and white.

Certainly, not something to concern ourselves with (with due respect, it's been gone over and over a gagillion times....time to put it to bed....it is what it is, and nothing's gonna change it....Best to get used to it Smiler )

MSRP for 522SBK is $115.00. These are starting to appear online now. kc$69 to hQ$79. Looks to be good discounts on these, hopefully the same trend for the rest.
