About the Maker
Benchmade
"Our founder, Les deAsis, began building handmade custom Bali-Songs in the 1980s. The success of these custom Bali’s spurred the creation of the first production Bali-Song®: The model 68. Benchmade Knife Company was born in 1987, driven to produce product in the US and with a strong commitment to product availability, quality, and customer relationships. Today, we continue to focus on innovation, customer needs, responsible business ethics and operations to bring the highest quality products to the world’s elite."
Blackwood, Neil
"I made my first all-wooden knives or letter openers around the age of 6 or 7 and moved on to actual tool steel knives in my dad's shop class in eighth grade. In the early 70's, carrying pocketknives to school was the norm for boys, and a stacked leather-handled knife was a favorite project in my dad's metal shop class. In 1995, I became very serious about what had always been just a hobby. At that time, I began to acquire my own knifemaking equipment so I could work on knives away from my job. The same year my family and I relocated to Lakeland, Florida. Shortly after our move to Florida, I began developing the first standard models including my Small and Medium Hunters. I called on my experience from deer hunting in New York and I also considered a lot of feedback from local hunters and customers here in Florida. However, at this time, my main focus is on folders. As a machinist, I'm enjoying the challenges involved in making them."
