Benchmade with flatest and thinnest handle

[yexactly]

Am looking for a knife w/axis lock with a 3-4" blade and a flat and thin handle profile. Does anything spring to mind?

 

[BuMs]

530 or the 531

 

[Icky Thump]

710

Definitely 530.

 

[blades&wrenches]

90X axis strykers, 94X series (not as flat but light and thin)
Per Benchmade website for handle thickness:
530: 0.37"
940: 0.41"
908: 0.47"
710: 0.48"

most def a 531.
Just took one apart today.
Way more petite than a 940, we're talkin' scales and hardware.

530. It never leaves my pocket.A flyweight that is excellent for EDC.

530/531 for sure.

More votes for 530/531. If you want super light the 530, if you require a more sturdy handle, go with the 531. Love both my 530 and 531.

The 903 mini-stryker drop point is .040". The blade is just short of 3" however, at 2.94".

Isn't the 761 is a super thin folder?

Yes, but he is looking for an axis lock

Thank you for the suggestions.. now to spend some time on youtube to narrow down the options.

The 530 is so light I find myself patting my pocket to make sure it is there!It is not for heavy duty use though...but to me a perfect gentleman's folder with an epic blade shape.

EASILY the 530. That's my formal clothing knife. Easily goes in slacks without "printing" or being noticeable. When all else fails, it goes on my fancy gold-toe socks!!!!!!!!

940-1, .41" w/o clip and .57" with

 

[bigolegator]

another vote for the 530/1, very thin but capable blade.

 

[Waltman]

For sure the 530
