This is the BIG Signature lockback. 4" blade. AUS8.
Not much more info. I have a 734 that opens nice but doesn't hold an edge that well. Maybe I ask too much for AUS 8A
Anyhow the size of the 708 appeals to me as does the handy looking handle.

Looks comfy.
 
I've got the 725 (smaller drop-point with no opening stud) and the 709 (large semi-skinner without stud) and I find them both very handy. The edges are thin (even thinner when I get through with them) and made from AUS-8 so the edge holding is not the best, but man do they get sharp. The hollow ground blade on the 709 is near the top of my list for pocket straight razors. I have shaved my face with it on numerous occasions (this is with my sharpening job, not Brownings). I got it to loan out on hunting trips so I could hold onto my really expensive folders.

PS. I really like the shape and texture of the handle. The countours are comfortable and the checkering gives you a secure grip.
