Axis Lock

[HWF]

943 for me.

 

[leifjl]

940 first, 710 a close second. That 943 above is a nice looking knife. Want.

 

[brownshoe]

Mel Purdue 530. Slick little package, should be illegal

 

[blame it on god]

The 581 is my favorite. Followed by the 710, then maybe the WARN barrage tanto.

 

[Sulaco]

The 810 has recently replaced my all time favorite 710. I lust after a TSEK.

 

[stormyone]

My first and only Axis lock, the first 730 Ares.

I have to agree. Followed closely by recent 806 models.

 

[Alberta Ed]

710, Mini-Rukus, and my latest, a Griptilian.

 

[omaha-beenglockin]

520/525 Presidio for me---have been carrying one or the other daily for going on 7 years

 

[michaelm466]

In order:
805 TSEK
810 Contego
806 AFCK
275 Adamas
710
552/551 Griptilian

Rift, Contego

Both are stellar knives for sure.

Favorite is my Doug Ritter full size Griptillian with Orange Wilkins scales. Pretty much my primary EDC for over a year. (If you know how frequently my tastes change, you would be impressed with its ability to keep my attention.) The old 720 was another all time favorite but I was stupid enough to part with it.

 

[Omega Leather Works]

Stupid enough to part with it... Yeah that sounds familiar.

That Rift that I mentioned right above, well I had two. One was my very first Benchmade, and the other was an LE forum cf m4 Rift. Now I have the 810 and I carry it daily regardless of my "edc". My 810 isn't an edc knife, it's attached at the hip. I'll never sell or trade it. Ever.

 

[ezmorningrebel]

710 tops the list for me

 

[arrowhd]

710 with the 943 in close second.

 

[Jestersinthemoon]

The one knife you'll see on nearly every list is the 710. People may like one or another slightly better. Thats personal preference. However, everyone likes the 710 ( ok almost everybody ) Thats the sign of a damn good knife and design.

For me its probably

710 ( M390 or M4 )
Rift ( Forum with CF / M4 )
Rukus

 

[Hairlesstwinkie]

Gaucho I can flick it out faster than my auto Bedlam. From all the Benchmades that I've handled and owned, the axis lock knives are very very similar. Pretty much just pick one that you like and you can't go wrong with it.

[Kru03]

The Rift. Although when I think when I get around to buying a Wilkins Ritter Grip, it will be surpassed.

The one and only 806 AFCK:

 

[elkins45]

806

943

Both are perfect at being what they need to be to fill their particular niche.
