benchmade 710 replacement advice?

Currently, yes, black only on the serrated blades. They made black plain edge 710s for years, though, so you can probably find one on an auction or forum site. It'll be ATS34 or 154CM, though, so if you want D2 you'll wind up with an uncoated blade (D2 doesn't need coating, though there is the aesthetics issue you mentioned).

Nope. Benchmade makes a 710BKD2. It's not a catalog item but is still pretty easy to find. Last I saw New Graham had a bunch in stock.
