Classic Seires , what would you want?

[Wolverine666]

If Benchmade were to make a “Classic Series” of old designs to be brought back , which discontinued knives would you want?

I’ll start. I’d love to see the following be brought back :

-710
-707 Sequel
-HK 14255
-Skirmish
-Subrosa
-Harley Davidson Hardtail

Benchmade , if you’re reading this , please consider doing a Classic Series. Even if only for a limited run.

710 for sure. Should've never sold mine.

 

[psquared]

.... Benchmade , if you’re reading this ...

I think they might have left the building.

On the off chance that they see this and take note of what we want rather than what they think we want (apparently over priced cigar cutters and whatever the Tengu tool is) : mini Rukus, mini Skirmish, mini Dejavoo, Ares.

Yes , the Rukus. I forgot about that gem. I’d love a new one.

I loved the Snody designed Hk's. The 14250 was my first nice knife and still probably my overall favorite BM of all time. Ergonomics were great and the execution of the AXIS in terms of fall open/shut is the standard I still hold my new Benchmades to til this day.

Also, this thread has me looking back on how perfect the 710 was. I think if it were released today it would be an instant hit and all the rage in the community.

Agreed. I think the 710 would sell extremely well. And the old HK’s rule. The reverse tanto of the 14255 is the one I miss most.

710, AFCK, Skirmish.

 

[GB940Rookie]

I’ve always thought the AFCK was of the sexiest folders they ever made.

Was hoping for a 707 replacement. A non auto Mini Coalition Would fit the bill. Good looking little blade.

The Skirmish always caught my eye. Not sure how well it fared. It was out when I first got into more modern knives. Chose the 940 instead.

The 710 is an obvious choice.

Yes all of these, especially the 806-1101 version of the AFCK... I've been trying to track one down for years.

I'd also add the Boguszewski Spike, both manual and auto versions.

 

[Onies]

I’d love to see the Déjà Voo come back. One of the most beautiful knives Benchmade/Bob Lum had created. I’d also like to see the Ares return.

Oh yes , the Ares was a sweet knife. A new one with CF and M390 , please.

Wolv666 - great question, thanks!

- 710, duh!
- 14715 & 16

Bonus points for a 710 with no recurve. (and no, I don't mean a Crooked River, thx).

Cheers,

I would like to see a run of:

Bob Lum's 746 Mini Onslaught; one heck of a knife

 

[Silent H]

I'd love to see the Onslaught re-released with their standard 3 hole clip instead of that monstrosity it was made with.

The AFCK The TSEK and the 710 WITHOUT the recurve.

 

[DaveReb]

Mini DeJavoo
14205
14210
722

 

[BMCGear]

The 710 needs to return to the line up full time with a few tweaks - no D2.
