Is the black blade completely black like say on a spyderco military or does the coating not cover the area of the bushings? Just got one and was wondering if thats normal.

[HELLZZARMY]

@Temperdgrump ..I had to find my black D2 710 to check because of your question. The area under the liners/scales by the phosporous bronze washers is not covered in Benchmade's BK1 coating. I honestly don't know the reason for that.

[ik999]

just wondering what your thoughts are on the the Spyderco Police. Im sure you've come across a few of them in your field. peace

[HELLZZARMY]

@ik999 ...it's an Outstanding knife! One of Spyderco's earlier creations and mainstays like the Endura. Still in production but, on the expensive side.

I have an old one but, it's one of those blades I forgot where it is...lol!

Great review. I'm a dedicated Benchmade fanatic. I'm about the order a 710 for myself but I'm completely split between the satin finish blade and the black BK1 coated blade. How well does the black coated blade hold up to scratches ?

[HELLZZARMY]

@Devastator38 ...i carried it for a few weeks and it held up good considering I carry it only for self-defense. It did get bang against poles, walls and sticks as I practiced with it.

praticing with a "live" blade is not adviseable but, i like to practice drawing, opening, and simulated stiking with a knife I carry. and some times you get to close to objects such as trees and stuff...lol!

I think it's as durable as Emersons Black-T finish but, nothing last forever right?

Get both!

[Zootoxin1911]

Those knives appear to be fake...Please send them to me for futher analysis. I wont charge a thing...

[senset]

Great review and great knife (...well, except for the whole 1111111115 thing. Hah! Just shooting you shit Dude.)

I do the same flipper thing all day with my Griptilian 550. It's addicitive.

Also, there's a knife you might want to check out. It's a Zero Tolerance 0200. It's a pretty cool little knife and it fits into my paws so you might also like it.

Have a good one and stay loose.

[sevendays00]

me wants it lol

@L1NG4N ...I personally have no experience with the Benchmade 530 but, here in Hawaii at knife-fighting seminars this was one of the top 3 knives desired.

[L1NG4N]

i was looking for a new benchmade, should i get the 710 or the 530 in s30v?

[HELLZZARMY]

@bigboyjack21 ...I'd get both but, if i had to choose it would be the Benchmade 710.
