Impervious to moisture or liquid and physically stable under climate change. Most commonly black, but is available in various colors too......CARBON FIBER: A contemporary, premium composite of thin strands of carbon tightly woven into various weave patterns, then set in resin, which is most commonly clear but can be color tinted. It offers great looks and is exceptionally strong for its minimal weight. cold steel: super aluminum (which is close to the strenght as titanium,) and G10
lock strength: benchmade: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=verXb0gZoM8#t=71 (it handled 615 pounds and broke because of the blade not the lock) cold steel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OQbmb5CRJzU (it held 600 but so did the benchmade

information benchmade: they have a lot more info about their knives and it is easy to get to (benchmade had a lot more information than shown on my post i just couldnt find the same info about cold steel to compare) cold steel: i couldnt find their info about their knives so i had to ask Jake and use Google to find its information.
overall quality from 1 to 10 (1 being horrible 10 being unbreakable) cold steel: 4-8 bench-made :6-9
price range benchmade: $105-$2,000 (not including multi tools which are about $35) cold steel: $10-$360 (approx)
other's opinions: i know a person who is in the army who has owned a benchmade all through out his time in the army and it still works. my uncle has had a bechmade for 10 years and it still works perfectly. i asked a knife seller on his opinion whether cold steel is better or benchmade the guy said benchmade is much much much better.
conclusion: cold steel is close to the quality of benchmade but there price range is less.... benchmade's range is so big mainly because of there specialty knives which have titanium, gold, ivory and Damascus steel. benchmade's normal price is 120-400. when cold steels is 40-100. cold steels 100 dollor knive would be just about as the same as benchmade's 120 BUT benchmade is still better. so i would recomend getting the better knive for slightly more because if the price is so close and the quality is close why not get the better one? oh and i forgot to mention the cool things that happen when you buy a benchmade."We will gladly re-sharpen your Benchmade knife to a factory razor sharp edge (service does not apply to any serrated portion of the blade). If you prefer us to sharpen your blade, or if you may have neglected to maintain your edge for a while, simply ship your knife to us. We'll not only sharpen it, but we will also inspect the knife for any warranted repairs and "tune" the knife for optimum performance." cool right? so my opinion is if you are looking for a tool then go to benchmade but if you are looking for a much larger knife for a weapon then get a cold steel.
