You should get a slippie. They are really cool!

I was thinking about a 912, when I got the chance to try one I didn't like the AO. I love the AO on my Kershaw and Camillus, but the Benchmade Nitrous just felt stiff. For that size/style of knife I would get a 710. 960's are nice too.
 
I've got a 912 and 913, I like them both. They are very fast opening and lock up solid.
 
For an A/O, I'd recommend the 912 or 913 (Depending on what blade shape you like). However, I don't care for it being tip-down only. The 710 is a great large folder. It carries like a smaller knife, is quick to open/close, & has D2 steel (Hard to beat that).
 
My EDC rotation now contains a Benchmade 710 D-2, a Benchmade 610 Rukus (S30V) and a Spyderco Military in CPM D-2. I like them all. :D:thumbup:
 
I bought my 960 to carry when I'm out or around friends, but it just spoils me. I have to limit myself from carrying it so I don't get it messed up on my heavier use, and so I don't loose interest in my other knives.
 
I think the 960 is a beautiful knife in both red and silver. D2 steel, titanium backspacer, Axis lock. I would choose the 960 over the 690 anyday! Being unemployed prevents me from purchasing one at this very moment. Hope to get one in the future though.
