Benchmade Pika G10: “Pinkachu” Redemption
The Benchmade Pika II is difficult to open handed due to its overly strong back spring. That with some other minor issues resulted in my low likability and a tepid review previously. Enter the Pika G10 model, marketed under the BM Harley Davidson banner for now. It fixes some of the “Pinkachu” issues and is really a different knife. First, the Pika G10 deploys much quicker since it has a well-balanced back spring; not too strong, not too weak (it amazes me when a company gets this simplest …

Look at the “China” etched on the blade. Nuff said.

I agree I’m tired of good jobs be sent over to China.

Amen! Im not sure why I would have 2 poor comment votes for that. Seems like anyone that knows craftsmanship, or even prefers good craftsmanship, would jump right in on that comment. What happened to “Buy American”. I guess that died in the early 80′s.

You can use lubrication to loosen it up.

The problem is YT lacks an agree/disagree control, independent of the good/bad post control. When ppl wish to voice an objection to what one says they may post a full comment (more risky since you might get blasted) or pour some anonymous hate on them by giving them thumbs down. The system is imperfect.
Tried to dig you up a bit, brother, but the zombies just keep coming ^^ (no offense guys)

the fact that a ” Harley Davidson” knife is made in China just kills it. I mean Harley Davidsons are made in the USA so should the knife.

I boycott products from screwed up countries. I’ll never buy anything from a country that doesn’t have democracy and doesn’t respect basic human rights such as freedom of religion, freedom of speech, etc. Period. No comprimises from me on that ever. I will buy products from outside the U.S. however like from Germany and Switzerland and whatnot since they respect human freedom and dignity.

Thanks dude. I used to just skip comments on here, but it is fun, sometimes, to see what will come of a comment….inteligent or otherwise. Sometimes I can feel the HATE emmitting from the screen. Thanks again.

Part of the lockback is made of cheap plastic. I took it apart then upon putting it back together that piece of crap plastic piece which was a functional part of the locking system broke with little stress put on it. I’ll never buy another Benchmade because of my experience. The fact that they allowed a piece of plastic as part of the locking system is ridiculous, like the pricing on their knives.

It’s not a Benchmade if it’s not made in the U.S.A!
By Scruffymyborder, December 12, 2009 @ 3:30 pm
I’ll keep my old US made Bench Mades’ and my Chris Reeves. None of this foreign made stuff any more. Next they will be selling the BM knives in Wal Mart.

Don’t Be Ignorant. What Corporate America is doing is not China’s fault, or India’s fault..It’s all about corporatocracy!!
Great Review!

Great vids thank you. Little off point but do you know what happened to wranglerbarn?
By nutnfancy, December 15, 2009 @ 9:01 am
We miss wrangler. He had a video up for a little while that explained that his family came first and he found that the videos were taking away from them. Plus they had a huge move coming up and he wanted to give his time to that. Aside from that, he was trolled pretty heavily by the creeps that skirt around the edges of the guns and knife community here on YouTube and it had to be enormously stressful. — Veri (Nutn’s sister)
