710 is a very nice knife. There is one on this forum that has a homemade wave on it. Looks really nice.

Yeah I saw it. Does that void the warranty or decrease the value?

Alright I will. :thumbup:

Oh, where'd you find it for 90? I'd like to pick up another 710.

The wave does void the warranty but Benchmade would gladly send you parts.

The only parts BM will send out are pocket clips. You'll need to send your knife in for any other repair.

Really? I heard that they will send screws and omega springs out.

Screws maybe, but omega springs... I heard of only 1 or 2 such cases and both were for people who live across the pond and it was to expensive for them to send the knife in.

However, you can make your own omega springs from musical wire

True, I have seen a guitar string omega spring.

Great price!

The 710 is the quintessential Benchmade IMHO.

I love mine! :thumbup:

i paid 150$ for my 710 when they 1st hit the market. d2 in that mdl. is great . thisc knife is a classic along with the spyderco millie & endura. my 710 is a never sell or trade item.

Two of my favorite currently available Benchmades, a 760BK LTi, Ti & M4 new last year, and, finally last year, a 710 D2 - my most frequent EDC since it arrived here.

No question - that $90 isn't bad for a used 710. For NIB, that's a steal - and maybe literally! Check the source out carefully.
