"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."
Charles started making knives when he was 15. He continued making knives part time during his high school and college years, and in his last semester of college decided it was something he wanted to do full time. He completed his degree in Geography and Geology with a minor in Biology, went on to pursue his goal of making knives full time, and hasn't looked back. Charles has been making knives full time since 1999.
