Benchmade M2 Steel Folders?

[Frank_Zuccarini]

I know that the BM710 and the BM806 were, at one time, offered in M2 steel. Can anyone tell me what other BM folders were offered in M2 at any time in the past?

Thanks...............Frank

i dont think the 806 was ever M2 they were D2 FWIW, IIRC anyway.

I am pretty sure that BM no longer makes knives with M2.
They used the last of their stock to make the M2 Ritter Grips.
You will need to by a knife "used" if you want BM in M2.

Yeah, I need to find a 'used' BM. I was just trying to get a handle on what models might become available. A M2 Griptilian would be great for me.

Again, thanks for all the help.

Both size Grips were offered as Ritter Grips in M2.

The Nimravus and now discontinued Nimravus Cub were also available at one time in M2 steel.

The previously mentioned M2 Ares was only made in a limited run.

is the M2 steel on the grip really that good?

 

[SIFU1A]

M2 in general is pretty good, a little better than D2.

Spyken, it might be coincidence but the M2 mini grip from Ritter seemed to have a better sharpening job, and a thinner edge than any of my other 3 M2 benchmades ( one 710 first issue, 2 strykers )

Typically I've had to sharpen the M2 ( and D2) knives before they were sharp enough for my taste when first out of the box. Joe
