Benchmade Must Haves?

[KennyB]

What are the red/black and white/black ones? They look like Osbornes but I can't tell which model.

 

[viva la]

3150 Impel

8600 Bedlam

two great knives IMO

 

[jeffa]

Skirmish and Bedlam!

 

[rckshrk]

+1 on the Torrent and add to that my favorite edc, the 580 Barrage

What are the red/black and white/black ones? They look like Osbornes but I can't tell which model.

They are 960s. They are very light and thin.

 

[grybsh7]

I've had dozens of Benchmades over the years and my favorite is the Grip.

 

[dtownknifekid]

615 mini rukus
griptillian variant of some sort
710
one of the thinner osbourne modles 930,940,943,960 etc.

 

[wongKI]

The BMs which always appeal to me are the 530, 950 Rift, Skirmish and Rukus.

 

[omaha-beenglockin]

The ones I have multiples of are:

Grip
Mini-grip
520
525

A couple fixed blades but they don't get carried much.

Just ordered my first BM yesterday:

 

[silenthunterstudios]

710 or any Grip is mandatory for all Benchmade fans. I've had many different models, but two that stand out for me were the Rukus and the Skirmish. Every time I got a Skirmish, it was too big to comfortably carry, but every time I got rid of it, I wanted another one. Only once for the Rukus, loved the blade shape, but didn't like the handle. That blade was just about perfect for me. Right now, all I have are the 710 in 154CM, and the Ritter Grip.

I have not been too enamored of the recent offerings from them, but the MPR, Subrosa, M4 Ritter Grip and 51 bali look neat.

 

[zr24x4er]

630, 635, 690, 940, 705, and the one with the Brend blade.

 

[BOrrell]

Dejavoo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[puyallupn8ive]

I would say the 950, 940/943, 755, 710, and a Grip, or mini Grip are all must haves.

 

[cziv]

710 & 940 / 940 series

 

[SpartanSaint]

um, where did you get gray handled 940's...

 

[Parasitic Psycho]

My must have Benchmades are the Mini Skirmish, any Rift model, 710 and a 940. If you get those four, then the rest will just be for fun.

 

[jeffzerot]

940 for sure

 

[RevDevil]

Thanks everyone that has contributed so far. Great start, please let's keep this going. :thumbup::thumbup::thumbup:

 

[sensei78]

I'm going to have to say:

- Griptilian or mini griptilian
- Rukus or mini rukus
- 710
- AFCK (preferably 806d2)
- 940 / 943 osbourne

Couldn't have said it better myself...:thumbup:
