Can't resist. Thanks for sharing those collections, truly impressive cache of 710's!
 
Thanks Corey, the 710 has a strong appeal that just won't quit. Your ATS-34 model on top center is a prize, and nice overall collection! :thumbup:

At first I thought you were talking about the picture with all the knives folded up, and I was wondering how the hell you could tell it was ATS-34 :confused: Then it dawned on me that you were talking about a different picture. Those are 705s and a couple 707s that I was teasing Joe with haha.

I do have an early 710BT with ATS-34 though.

Yep, got it. When the photos start in things can get confused! :cool: ...I do have an early 710 in ATS-34 in satin PE that I treasure.

Sooo jealous. I especially like that gold/wood handle one. What are the specifics on that one ?

That one is the 710-01, it has a Brass & Winewood handle with a D2 blade. It was a limited run from back in 2002. 300 production pieces and 50 prototypes were made. It also came with a black leather sheath and no pocket clip.

Oooh and that silver one , third row , 4th one down. Very nice. Titanium ?

That is the 710-03, it's just anodized aluminum with red jigged bone inlays and a 154CM blade. It was a limited run of 100 pieces and there was also a combo edge version, 710S-03, that was limited to 25 pieces.

The 710-143 & 710-144 have titanium bolsters, but I've haven't found either one of those at a price I was willing to pay yet.
 
It's cutting performance is really incredible. It's about. 007" at the shoulder. Very fine with a distal taper. For cutting only. :) but yes it's effortless the way it glides through things.

I always loved the 710, but it wasnt a great slicer before the mod. Now it's my fave knife

I'm certainly in the Lovers of the 710 Camp, but am in the Little Sisters of the Poor division with only two to my name. I'm also a fan of pairing the 710 with the 705 as they are Big and Little Brothers. I know I'm treading on perilous ground here, professing my love and lack of knives in such close proximity to Corey.

These are all I can lay claim to:
