Making some great knifes, BM has nevertheless seems to have fallen asleep over the last 5 years. A couple HOF Blades like the Bugout are surrounded by rehashes of past designs. Not this one. The Redoubt 430 features a cool new build design, ready for mods no doubt. We will consider some past BM EDC greats and then get on with the reasons why I'd buy a Redoubt.

I will probably pick one of these up sooner or later. I prefer that grip shape on fixed blades. Also the axis locks are easy to deploy quick. Just release the pressure on the blade by pulling the lock back and flick your wrist.

Benchmade donated to anti 2A politicians. They're not getting a dime from me.

F#ck Benchmade they donate to anti-gun Democrat politicians, they’re not on our side thankfully there are plenty other pro-freedom knife companies to buy from.

Jayson Fraser

I’ve still never bought a Benchmade, although I’ve come close a few times. Their stuff is nice, but it’s not cheap. I think plenty of other brands get you similar quality for less money. Sadly, Spyderco seems to be going that way too. I’m surprised every time I look at their prices these days.

Cirrhosis Psychosis

Agreed, Jayson. Spyderco makes great stuff, but they price it like it's made out of unicorn hooves.

As much as I love the redoubt ever since I saw it, I won't buy one for two reasons. 1) I have a blade that fills that role already and 2) as others have pointed out, I can't support a company unnecessarily which appears to stand against my hobbies/values which Benchmade seems to do, which in all honesty is shocking considering the people who tend to buy knives like this also tend to like other "dangerous things"...

Redoubt is excellent. But I'm holding out for the TNP Special edition XL Bugout!

Don't assume your clips gender or you'll get cancelled 😆

Great KRV, Nutn. I have a BM 940 and a…do you remember this one, the “mini-Freak.” Great name, perfect edc!

Greg Malcom

Fun video to watch. However, I stopped buying BM for the anti-2A history and unapologetic way the CEO-owner handled the initial incident. https://youtu.be/vMPf-bq0bdw

Great review Nut’n and after 12-1/2 minutes no mention of the Porsche on the table top? Come on man!

CincinnatiDan (Ohio)

All of those knives had a different bald shape and edge to body angles, very few flat faces. How do you sharpen them?

I am very luke-warm on Benchmade products anymore. After the 2A incident I just don’t get excited about them anymore. I also sold my only Benchmade so I could buy the TNP Endura!

Jerome J

it looks great. the handle is very original.

Downtrodden

Nutn’s internal dialog is always hilarious. The knife is sweet for sure but like others have said in The Project, I have other manufacturers to support at the moment. There will never be a perfect watch. The guy with a one-of-a-kind $1m watch doesn’t stop buying watches. My taste in watches is definitely not as broad as Nutn’s but I still enjoy all the reviews.

David Goodridge

I’m not liking it. Handle to big, blade steel, not at that price.

Wizard8

Bench Made's owner is a woke trader supports the Anti 2a movement. Will never spend money for their products. I live in Oregon City, Oregon and have neighbors who work there. Do not compromise on freedom

Douglas Carr

That handle looks like it belongs on a different knife. Hopefully it feels better in the hand than it looks to the eye.

Hold Fast Joe

Very odd to me, does he think he's making kitchen knives for kids or what? Bizarre mindset for a company like this Heck for all I know their primary products are spoons and forks and they only run the knives to make grandad happy until he passes on?

Hold Fast Joe

I bought a 477 years ago before I knew what they were doing. I used to keep it in mint condition and just play around with it. After news broke it was in heavy daily use. I've beaten the crap out of it looks like trash and I don't care lol

Hold Fast Joe

I'm a not sure what to think about Benchmade anymore. I agree I use China stuff everyday, I buy products from everyone. I work for company that loves their security having arms but not us. So it is not right for me to stand on a box and say Benchmade bad. Though I'm not going to buy one so they can donate to pelosi It is a very nice knife, I like it, I would love a bugout too. Few months ago needed to get a new light weight knife to carry. I so badly wanted the bugout but I got a spyderco instead. I'm a hypocrite and that's ok, I'll live with it

Andrettski

$165 is too high for me to make my 1st BM purchase. It'll probably be the Bugout(not the mini) when there is some great deal in a sweet flavor. There are just tons of knives that are just as good or better for $70-100

GarageJim_RMB

Great review, due to bidenomics, out of the price range. Waiting for the TNP Boker to arrive.

Drew

Hard pass on my end. Benchmade has become overpriced underquality mass produced mediocre product. Add in their problematic past few years, and I will choose other makers such as CRKT, Gerber, and Leatherman before I drop coin on a Benchmade.

Caliiiman

More Kevin Samuels the better. You should follow up on previous Kevin videos.

Harold Galen McPheron

I've got the full size and small Bugout's in my pockets right now...

Elijah Ballard

I have 3 of these in rotation for probably the past 3 years. Beat the living piss out of them while definitely not using the tool properly. To this day look sharp and chugging on. The best design clip I have found so far. Thanks Nutn!
