About the Maker
Pacific Cutlery
Balisong USA started manufacturing butterfly knives in the late 1970s, then changed its name to Pacific Cutlery in the early 1980s, before finally becoming Benchmade. The earlier knives featured a wide variety of custom blade designs (many of which were hand ground by master knifemaker Jody Samson, well known for making the swords in the movie Conan the Barbarian), as well as a number of exotic inlays for the handles (ivory, prehistoric ivory, scrimshawed ivory, mother-of-pearl, ebony, tropical woods, etc.)
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."
