Benchmade what is the best all around model?

. Second only to BMs 710HS, for a benchmade knife that is, but that's what you asked for.

You could put nacho cheese sauce on it...
 
Oh my god, what a horrible thing to even think of....

If I had to make the choice it would have to be my BM975SBT Emerson. I love all my knives, but that series still remains my favorite after all these years.

If there could only be one, I guess I would have to throw in for the 710HS as well. The 4" M2 tool steel blade and the axis lock are a formidable combination.

The 710HS. It's kinda big for EDC, but it is one of the most reliable, comfortable, and versatile folding knives you can buy. Of all my folders, it would be the last out the door.
 
812BT.... had mine for two years... its small but fills your hand, you can get m2 or 154cm (now). It has a thumb hole (which is never obtrusive during cutting or sharpening and it doesnt run the risk of comming out or breaking off). It has titanium liners, good clip position... good clip point blade tip yet not so fine that it snaps off all the time, its easy to reassemble after cleaning (which you shouldnt do, but ive done it and its not too bad). I love it... i tell everyone to get one.
 
I have had a Benchmade Strtker for a few years now and by far it's the smoothest production knife I have come across. I can't wait to pick up the 690!
 
I have only one a 910 and i love it good size smooth as silk to open no play locks up solid

Some say the end is near. Some say we'll see armageddon soon. i certainly hope we will. i sure could use a vacation from this bull Sh!t three ring circus sideshow of freaks
 
710hs I've got 7 BM's & a lot of other knives as well, and there isn't a folder I trust more than that one. The 812 is a handy little knife, the 940 is gorgeous, the AFCK is a classic, but if I could only have 1 there would be no question - 710hs

The only BM I currently have is the mini-AFCK, I use to have a Leopard Cub. If I had to get rid of all my tac knives except one, the mini-AFCK would the one keeper. RKBA!
 
I'd have to say the Sentinel too. It was what I consider to be my first quality knife. If it was not for having this knife and seeing just how good a folder could be, I would have never bought most of the knives I have today.

I now have two Sentinels and the Darkstar. I recently sent Sentinel to have a plain edge put on it. The serrated blade had seen years of use and I wanted to restore this knife. I don't use it much anymore but it will certainly be passed down to my children.
