Benchmade 710, Opening with gloves, is not hard.

love it every one seer's you can't open a 710 with gloves great vid

[martinaee]

Yup... The 710 is a SWEET knife. I had one in plain edge D2 uncoated, but sold it. I really want one again though :)

[henfrys101]

I just got a 710..and the action is NOWHERE near that smooth/silky/fast. How long have you had that knife and did you loosen the pivot screw any? Will that action come with time/use?

@henfrys101

It was a little stiff when I first got mine two. I adjusted the pivot slightly, very slightly.

Lubed it, and it is what it is.

[henfrys101]

@DasBulk Thanks for that - what lube do you use? I got a bottle of miltec, but I'm worried about it being a little liquidy for edc

[DasBulk]

@henfrys101 Usually Tuff Glide.

[trailer701]

you got a really good knife right there...

[colhunt76]

Action is FAST - is this example assisted?

I find mine is much more natural to open when I push forward instead of out on the stud, but then again, I've discovered the 'Axis flick' as you have.

[DasBulk]

Nope. I don't think BM produced an assisted knife before the Barrage. I could be wrong though.

@DasBulk The was tow of these models the first one was assisted opening like a speed safe [auto]. It was the Benchmade 860 Bedlam

[duradero9]

employed by benchmade are we? :p

[DasBulk]

Not at all. Im actually employed by Black and Decker.

[NAPALMJUNKY]

Good on you mate, well demonstrated. sweet blade.

[TacticalTupperware]

Nice!!! Thanks for the video!!!

[holdenccc]

Looks easy, like an automatic knife.

[mongomondomongo]

Is that the M2 steel? Lucky

[DasBulk]

Nope. D2...

[DasBulk]

Thanks guys. I like the "BenchKoat" coating a lot better than I thought I would. I bought it expecting it to scratch or wear easier than it has. So far its just scuffed a little and that doesn't bug me. Its a knife, it does its best work when its dirty. :)

[SpydieDave]

Nice vid man. I sorta wanna get a 710BK in D2. It looks niiiiice.

[AuthoritativeClick]

@SpydieDave Did you ever get a 710? I really enjoy mine.

[lilskiffer9lax]
