the bearings in the 761 are the most frictionless bearing system Ive ever used. Its TO frictionless! Add to that the 761(at least the one I handled at a knife shop)had next to no detent. Any kind of kinetic energy transferred from the user to the knife would send the blade flying out at speed into full lockup. I held it pivot up in my right hand and walked towards the counter and just by taking a normal step forward the blade came flying out at speed into lockup. Shake the blade out? Hell with any kind of movement it would just drop out and swing back and forth for awhile on whatever crazy bearing system BM is using.
Benchmade I hereby demand a new Butch Ball designed knife to follow onto the 300! It shall be 1/8 longer in blade and handle, blade shall be the same profile just 1/8ths longer. The "310" shall also remain a flipper and flipper oriented yet still include ambi thumb studs. The 310 shall also have no less than a medium strength detent. The G10 handle scales will be 1/8ths THINNER. Handle profile shall have more prominent finger grooves. 310 will remain a flow through design. G10 handle contours shall be hand finished to match the steel liners within tighter tolerance. Blade shall be thick at the pivot thin out through the center then thick again at the front of the blade for better flipping action. Finally the 310 will have FULL steel liners. No skelotonized liners on the 310 and the blade shall ride on your bearing system from the 761 hence detent strength should be a solid medium or better resistance...thank you.
