Grail Benchmades?

GronK · Apr 19, 2014

I drove down to Tucson to visit my son last week. On the way I stopped at a knife shop out in the middle of nowhere (Holbrook, AZ). I sold all my knives 10 years ago due to unemployment and have been steadily repurchasing my favorites. I am all stocked up with arachnids so was pleased to find my favorite Benchmades. Anyone else have grails that they just have to own?

Benchmade 800-1001. Linerlock AFCK with M390 blade, blue anodized liners, scalloped G-10 scales and a polished deep cary clip.

I snap these bad boys up when ever I get the chance! So far I have two...

630 Skirmish and 635 Mini. Right now the only Benchmades I really want.

If anyone needs an extra kidney I'd be happy to trade mine for this beautiful beast:

It would be the double action 7505, if it weren't for the clip orientation.

I have one that doesn't exist, but hope is in the works. 558 with M390. Here's hopin'.

Gronk, I had a similar situation where I sold ALL of my Snody's to cover some equipment and work truck repairs several years back:grumpy:

Hey you do what ya gotta do. I knew when the tide turned I would re-acquire them and so far have been doing so in the last year.

I have a few more to go but I'm getting closer

That 710 looks great. What's the handle material and blade steel ?

710-101, CF on steel, w/ M390 blade steel. My favorite 710, by far. A Grail for sure.

Skirmish
Rukus
M390 AFCK
Subrosa
760LFTi

Here's mine!

The 710-2 was a grail of mine, and I promised myself I would use it.

A current Grail Benchmade would be the 940-121. I saw one at a local shop in Montana and almost snatched it up as it was "on sale" for $499.00. The only thing that holds me back from buying one os the idea of plopping that much money on a knife that I won't use.

If I could get my hands on an M4 520 and have the blade hardened to 64, that's on my list too.

Was that a limited run model 710 ? Or can you still get one brand new ?

This was a Gold Class. Limited in number, than disco'ed, sadly. You would have to seek on the secondary markets

Yes please.

jkarp_53 · Apr 23, 2014

This is the old 750 Pinnacle, still NIB. Satin blade's hard to find as is the knife itself.

nosuchagency · Apr 23, 2014

this is probably my most notable personal grail to date. was acquired in unused condition off the bay not too far back.

RevDevil · Apr 23, 2014

Grails for me would be:
425/426/ Snody series
610-615/630/635 Rukus/Skirmish series
800 Old School AFCK series
805 TSEK series
806 AKCK series
940/943 Osbourne series
975 Emerson series
Not too hot any most of the others.

Paul if that Resistor ever ends up turning your stomach, let me know.
