Benchmade 710: Clean and simple

It's about time... I finally got a knife that I've been wanting to get forever.

In my quest to find my next knife, I looked at a variety of Spyderco's, Benchmade's, and Kershaw's. However, in the end, my attraction to Benchmade's won me over and the simplicity and versatility of the knife is superb.

hey UE hows the lock up any play?

[UrbanEDC]

@usermalfuntions No, No play. At all. It's an axis lock, I wouldn't expect there to be any play in any axis-lock knife.

hey do you still have your knife in tip top problem free?

[UrbanEDC]

@Eadwine17 Actually, it's been almost exactly 1 year since I've had this knife.

I have had zero issues with it. I have a spyderco sharpmaker that I use to touch it from time to time, and it's still razor sharp. After my initial cleaning a year ago, I have also never re-oiled it or anything.

My only issue is that it is slightly too large for regular EDC use. But that's just my opinion. A great knife!

not sure what you mean by that?

If you are referring to the closing method of lock back Spyderco knife...there is a good inch of steel [unsharpened shelf] that is below the cutting edge.

other than that I have no sharpness issues with my blades

lol@ZippoThisKnifeThat said "...and let the shelf of the blade drop on to your index finger..."

Do you have some sharpness issue with your knives?

Watch my video on what could happen to the 710 blade even if you use it to cut open the lid of a typical cooking grade rice vinegar bottle - if u love your knife that is.
