Benchmade 721 Pardue

[razorhunter]

Guys,
With all the talk and hype of the Benchmade 710 and AFCK's I am surprised to see almost no threads on the Pardue 721. Seems to me anyone favoring the AFCK or 710, would also favor the 721. I did a search and found almost no review/talk on the 721. Whats the deal? Although I've never handled a 721, I am seriously considering a purchase. Any thoughts?

The 721 is a 720 with G-10 scales rather than the aluminum of the 720. I happen to have the 720, since it was the first of the two to be introduced. It's a great overall utility knife.

It was written up in Tac-Knives a year or two ago in connection with a trip on the Amazon and received excellent reviews by the guys that put it through it's paces.

It's been around in the BM lineup for quite a while, so I guess that speaks well for it.

Another vote for the BM 720, it's my current EDC. Secure grip, solid lockup, nice materials and tough as nails. The factory edge needed a little tweaking near the tip but nothing out of the ordinary for a production folder.
