It's kind of crazy to me that the manuf is consistently the most expensive place to buy things. Went to the benchmade factory store a few weeks back, there's only one. Their prices were 20% over what sportsmans warehouse a few blocks away had for the same knife.
Like someone comes all the way to your one store location and you're gouging them on price. Crazy. I didn't buy anything at the store, got the knife at the SW.
They charge even more online which is also fun. This is on $425 knives so you know there's hella headroom.
