Oregon City, Oregon – -(AmmoLand.com)- Benchmade is aware of the recent post from our local Oregon City Police Department. [Concerning Police Destroying Guns]
“We apologize for the confusion and concern that this post created. These were firearms that the Oregon City Police Department had to destroy in alignment with their policies. Oregon City Police requested the use of specialty equipment within the Benchmade facility to follow these requirements, and as a supporting partner of our local police force, we obliged the request.
Benchmade is a proud and unwavering supporter of both law enforcement and Second Amendment rights. These are commitments that we do not take lightly and will continue to support well into the future.
When asked for clarity from Oregon City Police Department, Chief Jim Band made the following statement:
“When property is to be destroyed, it is the policy of the Oregon City Police Department to destroy property, including firearms, in accordance to our procedures and ORS. The Oregon City Police Department does not sell firearms.”

Editors Update: here is the Social Media Post (now removed) that Benchmade is Responding to:
The CEO supports Dem gun-grabbers, and allows his facility to be used for propaganda. Fack’em!
Huh I see they haven’t adressed donateing money to some serious anti-gun political candidates.
This, in my humble opinion, was a bad decision by Benchmade who make a GREAT product. I would have referred this job to my competitors. I hope this Company is not anti guns.
The policy of the department could be changed it is policy not law.
No need to enable them.
I’ve bought my last Benchmade knife ever. They can go pound sand. I hope they go out of business.
b-made clowns u chose the wrong side. hope u enjoy the $$ effect.
