Benchmade 710 Modifications

[mdalby]

Is there anyone that had made any modifications to the 710 such as Boron Carbide coating to my 710 blade or edge reprofiling?

I found this link and this guyhas made a few mods.

Thanks,

I followed Joes guide to sharpen mine. Also taking the edge down to 15 degrees per side with a bench stone and the Sharpmaker.

Apparently I don't know how to use the search function very well. I search as you directed and came up with an empty set. I tried searching other forums and got the same results.

Could you post the link to the other thread?

Thanks,

Are the modifications in the "How to Make the Benchmade Axis Perform" thread not for a rookie sharpener?

I just got my 710 M2 and that last thing I want to do is ruin it right out of the gate.

NOT for a rookie!

Learn how to sharpen on one (or even better, a few) of your "beater" blades first...

Practice really does count when it comes to sharpening a knife properly.
