The current AL handled 710's are distributed as a special edition thru. Moteng. I like the texture on the AL handles, which is pretty grippy; slighty more grippy than the G10 version. I went ahead and stuck my M-2 710 blade into the AL handles, thus making a super-710. If BM would make a production Super-710, BM would have, probably, the strongest, best cutting folding knife in the genre (as long as the factory sharpening was upgraded--but that's a whole different topic).

"It is not the critic who counts, not the man who points out how the strong man stumbled, or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena; whose face is marred by the dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs and comes short again and again; who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions and spends himself in a worthy course; who at the best, knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who, at worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly; so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory or defeat."
