BM 732 Ares opinions? or other <$100 BM
- Thread starter Deezul
- Start date
you can get two very good choice in your range if you bumped it to $110. Sorry for the slight increase in your range, it is almost inevitable around here anyway. It is possible to get the Doug Ritter Griptilian, Ritter Mini Griptilian, and the AFCK D2 for 105, 100, and 109 respectively.
Might want to give those options a hard look.
Good luck,
Dustin

I think if a BM is what you need, Fiber tablets are the ticket.

Almost forgot. You may check Cabela's BM Griptilian with D2 steel.
I prefer Ares because of handle, but you not to picky for plastic handles - it will be great blade. It was my first BM:

Hey Nozh, what comic is that grip on top of?
Golddiggers?
Golddiggers?
I agree with nozh2002 and Duffin444.
Don't know, if the Cabelas' Grip could be better as an Ares, but I would consider that option.
The handle is a matter of taste - the blades are similar in their cutting performance, but D2 holds the edge noticeable better than 154CM.
If You add some bucks, You can buy a Ritter Griptilian, which is even better cutter as the both others. And has S30V.
I would think about 710 in 154CM too (or in M2, if You add some more
) - they are all great knives, I would only try which I like most

But with about 100$ in your pocket you can take a look at 710, 420 and 520 also. Each of them should be a good user, 806 is rather for self defense but its a very nice knife. You may also choose Grip D2 or Ritter - both are great but their finish is not as high class as mentioned models (zytel vs. G10 and so on). Finally you can try to find few BMs that are no longer in production but very good: 805 or 720... or maybe 880? I like all of them but my personal favourite is Ares - the God of War ;-)

I love my 154CM Ares! Built like a tank, but with a very functional blade shape and a comfortable grip.

It's my favorite Benchmade!
wow thanks for all the responses..........I'll narrow it a bit................want it on the larger side(at least Ares size but not gi-normous) . I also want to avoid plastic or Zytel handles........the Ares with a silver blade would be sweet..........grips are nice if I can get over the handle. Mini grips are too small IMO...............
