We have many other Benchmade Infidel Knives in stock!
Rumors circulated for years about a possible Benchmade OTF knife. Good news Benchmade lovers- the knife has arrived. The Benchmade 3300 Infidel OTF is, to put it mildly, awesome. D2 tool steel double edged blade. Anodized T6 aluminum handle. And a pocket clip for easy carry.
Blade HQ's Benchmade Infidel Review is, to put it bluntly, about time! A few features we really like is the sliding button on the face of the handle, instead of the side as many others have. The milled "stepped" handle design assures that this knife will not be slipping out of your hand.

Worked at a knife store for a good chunk of time, played with countless infidels and they all seemed to have the same three problems: Lots of blade play, d2 steel. and cost. Production knife in d2 and alumninum is not worth 400$.
Also I don't like the blade shape, just don't find it that useful...

Absolutely astonishing knife. One question. I recently dropped it in some water on accident and every time I open it I see small droplets of water come it of the knife. Will this affect the knife in the long run?
Pure garbage

Awful material. Terrible design. I could take my sink apart and make a better knife out of it.
Looks, fires, feels great!

Solid strong firing really nice knife.
So all this sh*t about blade play I've read online is so negligible its not worthy of mentioning. It's a solid knife.
I also fired it into my leg to prove to gf how easily they kick out. Ahahahah yea wont be doing that again. It went in somewhere between. .25- .5 inch. Lol
Seems to fire pretty hard to me.
Razor sharp too! Its quality no doubt!
Another fine purchase from Bladehq (ordered sunday night. got it 4 days later Thursday at 3pm).
I gotta stop looking at bladehq to get to sleep... gotta stop ordering knives for a minute..

The Infidel has been a grail knife for me since its release a decade ago, and I wish I had caved on it sooner. This knife is so much better than I thought it would be, which is saying a lot. The edge was razor sharp out of the box, and I've had no malfunctions after a few thousand fires and a year in EDC rotation. You do have to maintain it though; OTFs are inherently fiddly and finicky. That said, I can't recommend this knife enough, even with the price considered.
Dangerous sheik!

Had for over 10 years now. Has held up great although not an edc for me due to legal constraints. Just had to have it and can because I live in the good old USA. Very sexy knife. I know as it makes the wives feel coquettish.

Ive owned an Infidel for almost a year. It is a never-fail piece of quick, sharp equipment. You get your money's worth with this knife. Recommend.
Respectable large blade OTF

The fit and finish of this blade is very good. It fires and retracts every time. The blades thin profile is probably only for defensive purposes. It feels less solid than other OTFs though.
An Excellent OTF!

No double about it, the Benchmade Infidel OTF auto is an expensive knife. But, as the old saying goes, "you get what you pay for."
I have been carrying an Infidel for over a year now and it has never, not even once, failed to properly extend or extract the blade.
As a rule I "test" it each day before carrying, sometimes several times (just for fun). I can honestly say that I have, in the past year, done this over 1000 times and, as stated, it has worked flawlessly each and every time.
Pricey? Yes! Worth it? Definitely!
Update (August 2016): Over two year of carry now and still no malfunctions. Still works perfectly every time.

OTF knives are a mixed bag. They're cool, but not practical. Dagger-grind blades, same deal.
This is a better-than-average OTF.
The action is smooth enough, the lockup is strong enough. A compromise, but a sensible compromise. It isn't a Sandshark, but those things were a pain to open.
Build quality is good. This isn't a Hawk Deadlock, but it compares fairly well with Microtech OTFs.
The strangest thing about this knife is the choice of steel. D2 is an odd choice for a knife you can't clean.
If you really need this knife to be what it is, it should stand up well when you need it. But if you don't need the push-button release, a conventional folder is much stronger.
