Who: Benchmade Knife Company
What: Harley-Davidson Knives
Wear: Harley-Davidson teamed up with Benchmade Knife Company in Clackamas, Oregon, to launch a line of quality H-D enthusiast knives. The Benchmade Knife Company recently introduced a few new models to its line of H-D Knives at the Harley-Davidson summer dealer meeting. The idea was to keep the price point low but keep the quality first class, and we here at HOT BIKE wanted to show you what they had.
