It's Not Just Hat...

For those of us in the Benchmade family, that logo is a source of pride, and when we catch someone wearing one of our hats, whether it’s in a grocery store in our hometown, or at Blade Show Texas, or in the middle of Virginia at Overland Expo, it fills us with a great sense of accomplishment, because it’s more than just a hat; it’s a promise to make something with passion and heart, to bring our best every day, to build high-quality tools, and to give every Benchmade owner an experience that stays with them from the moment they unbox their knife through every trip back for LifeSharp service.

The evolution of the Benchmade logo.

For many years, we’ve received an uncountable number of notes and letters from Benchmade owners, many of them sent to our LifeSharp team alongside knives in need of a tune up. It’s no exaggeration to say that a substantial quantity of these notes and anecdotes have put the biggest smiles on our faces, while many others have moved us to tears.

 This kind of feedback, borne out of a genuine connection forged by our own hands, tells us that we aren’t just here to make a knife and call it a day. We’re reminded that what we do can have a profound effect on someone’s life, from serving as a trusted workhorse for an entire career to saving lives.

We are fortunate enough to hear these stories, and countless more, every day on the road and in our factory. We've shared just the smallest sample of them with you. They humble us, and when you wear our logo, whether it's on a T-Shirt or a hoodie or a hat, you carry with you the heart, passion, triumph, and toil of every person who has ever worked at Benchmade Knife Company, and those whose stories have inspired us to keep doing what we do to the best of our ability.
