Benchmade founder Les de Asis has passed away

The EDC and knife community has lost one of the greats of our time. On Friday, February 21, 2020 Jon de Asis announced that his father, Benchmade founder and Blade Magazine Hall of Fame inductee, Les de Asis passed away. Les de Asis created one of the most influential knife companies in the world, and his influence in and on the knife community will be a lasting legacy well into the future.

Starting in the late 1970s, Les de Asis founded Bali-Song, Inc which produced the Model 68 butterfly knife. Over the next few years, Bali-Song, Inc. became the Pacific Cutlery Corporation, expanding its line from Bali-Songs to fixed blades and conventional folding knives. After seven years, Pacific was dissolved because it could not control quality, price, and delivery. Most people would’ve hung it up at that point, but Les didn’t. Instead he formed Benchmade Knife Company in 1988.
