I would have to go with the 710 as the better fighting blade. To me it is stronger and the recurve makes it downright vicious!
Then again the AFCK has a more accute point and...
Hell they are both great knives!
The 710 is just better in many areas, lock up, ambidext and better made.
A AFCK with an axis lock and more rigid scales in M2 would be the dogs you know whats!

I'd be inclined to think that the 710 is a better fighter due to blade shape. AFCK makes a nicer utility knife though, and I like it's handle more. If You were looking for a fighter, REKAT Sifu would have been a good choice.

The AFCK's handle is much more secure, but the 710's lock wins hands down. The AFCK is/would be a great fighter, but no linerlock beats a 710. The best of all, however, would be an Axis AFCK. Maybe one of these days BM will wake up and make us one....
Forgot to mention, I have both and they're both great knives. I find myself carrying the 710 more, because I love the Axis lock, but either should serve well.

I think my Kimber 1911 and my 12 ga combat shotgun are better pure fighters.
So are my Brend Model 2 and my Broadwell Subhilt.
I like both my 710 and 800 as backup weapons, but consider them both utilitarian pieces.
