Just out of curiousity, have any of the people that own both the BM Axis AFCK and 710 tried swapping the blades on them? Does it work? I like the blade on the 710 more, but prefer the AFCK handle, and I've been wondering if the blades could be swapped to make a better overall knife for me.
 
Good question. I have notced that the ramp for the axis lock is different on the AFCK than on the 710. I don't know how that would effect the fit.

If anyone tries it let me know.
 
Oh well, so much for that idea. But eventually I hope, they'll be enough axis models around so that I can swap blades & handles to make something better. :cool:

I meant it sounded like it was right up aerius' alley. I just meant that the Axis TSEK is the closest thing you're going to get with a 710 blade in a AFCK handle. Comparison pics thanks to Dennis and 1sks:

See what I'm saying?
