Holy God, and I paid close to $110 for my 710D2 about 16 years ago. So the price has gone up 4X since then for the cheapest model? Think I'll pass.Someone on FB said:
Middle one is base model. It will be S90V and an MSRP of $450. The black is a limited, Magnacut and MSRP of $650. The other is a Gold Class Damascus, and I think MSRP of $1500.
Edit: From the same conversation, the base model is aluminum btw, not titanium...in case you thought it might be from the price
Im also thinking about the trigger for one with black handle. What do you think about the version with alu colored handle?The new black handle/satin blade version coming this year absolutely will end up in my hands.

That was the Benchmade 710, now there is the Seven Ten.Holy God, and I paid close to $110 for my 710D2 about 16 years ago. So the price has gone up 4X since then for the cheapest model? Think I'll pass.
Last year's Seven Ten in S90V was retailing at some places for $315. Looks are in the eye of the beholder -- I love it in person, not so much in the photos -- but the knife is extremely well built. Much nicer than the original 710. And the S90V steel is a great choice.Its weird that BM took this wonderful EDC model and turned it into something kind of ugly and too highly priced for the market its supposed to thrive in.
I'm sorry, what mil LARPer still even likes uncommonly tinted FDE these days... the whole project is a turn off at 600 bucks.
I'd love to have a normal version of the seven ten, maybe in G-10 and stonewashed (or black) magnacut (or something) as a $300-400 user knife but these versions are not useful for me.
NoIs possible to put the new type of axis spring in one of the older 710?
