MORE ABOUT BENCHMADE

THE BEGINING

Benchmade was founded in California in 1979 as Bali-Song, later changing its name to Pacific Cutlery Corporation in the early 1980s, before finally becoming "Benchmade" in 1987. In 1990, the company relocated to Oregon to be closer to existing knife production companies. As part of moving production from outside vendors to in-house facilities, the company moved again in 1996 to its own 35,000-square-foot facility in Oregon City, Oregon. Benchmade became known primarily as a manufacturer of Butterfly knives, or balisongs, which continue to be produced under their registered trademark name "Bali-Song", Benchmade's original Bali-Song design by Jody Samson won Blade Magazine's Knife of the Year Award in 1979. This connection to butterfly knives inspired the butterfly symbol in their logo.
