	We have taken everything you have come to expect in a Benchmade and reapplied it so that a much broader mix of knife users now have the opportunity to appreciate what has fast become an icon in cutting-tool performance. You get innovative designs from some of the top name custom knife makers in the world, patented Benchmade exclusive mechanisms, upscaled materials and notably superior standards in manufactured quality no matter whether we build it ourselves or have it built for us. To make things easier we have segmented the Benchmade brand into four product classes for easier distinction of product throughout the line. They are as follows: Gold Class - Our Gold Class clearly sets the new standard of what is possible in premium knife manufacturing. It’s quite simply the best of the best. Blue Class - Our Blue Class represents the heart of everything that is Benchmade. These USA made products are designed and built for the individual who appreciates the difference that a high-quality cutting tool can make. Black Class - Our Black Class products are designed, developed and tested for extreme duty. They are the preferred cutting tools for Law Enforcement, Public Safety and Elite Military Troops around the globe. Red Class - Our Red Class offers “best in class” value. These edged tools possess the same Benchmade mindset of leading innovation, modern materials and quality manufacturing.
	H&K Knives - H&K® Knives are made to the same exacting and uncompromising standards as the firearms they produce, both for demanding shooters and for elite military and police units worldwide. HK has proudly teamed with Benchmade®, one of the world’s most innovative knife manufacturers, in designing and manufacturing these fine knives. As a result of this partnership, you’ll find that each knife in their line represents the ultimate in quality, reliability and functionality—attributes that are unmistakably Heckler & Koch. (Some product offerings in the HK-Knives line are produced in our off-shores facility and our Oregon City facilty)
	Harley-Davidson® Knives - It all starts with a commitment to innovation. And for us, it goes beyond simply being innovatively different—Benchmade continually strives to be innovatively better. We believe that when a customer chooses to purchase a Benchmade, they do so because they want the best. This mindset of innovating for improvement is alive and well throughout Benchmade, it goes into every design, and comes out of every product. Admittedly, it’s definitely not the easiest way to make knives, but it’s the only way we know how. The rules were unchanged when the design process began for Harley-Davidson® knives.
