I am new to the world of knives, and I am looking to purchase a high quality knife for around 100 dollars. I have looked at many Benchmade models including the TSEK and the 710. I liked the Axis lock and prefer it to the lockback. Those are simply unacceptable. I want a plain blade, no serrations, and no less than 3.9 inches. Folder obviously. And by the way, do not ever respond to proedge84, he is the King of Douchebags.
 
dude-- thanks for the heads up about proedge84. I have quite a bit of trouble deciding just who to ignore on these forums, yet you sussed it on your very first post. The 710, by the way, is a very non-douchebag sort of knife; it should please you.

Welcome to the Forums!

You certainly can't go wrong with BM 710, many knowledgeable people say it rules.
But why I'm still going with my BM AFCK? :rolleyes:
 
The 710 is an amazing knife. I have the little brother 705, but have handled many a 710 and it feels even better than the 705 for a big knife.

senordeteats,
The only consideration is, how are you at sharpening recruves? That was my only problem with the 710 when I first got it, and that was my problem not the knife's.:)
 
What about the Al Mar SERE 2000 if you want a tough linerlock or the SOG X-Ray Vision(zytel handles) or Night vision(G10 handles). They have arc-locks which are similar to the axis lock and they have cool tanto blades.
 
i too like hte 710 although i have only handled them. keep in mind though, it may be bigger than you think it is.

For someone new to the knife world and wants a single "do it all" knife, the Benchmade 710 is a great choice. The only problem I had with mine is that it came to me new, but the edge was really not sharp. I had to sharpen it. Mine is ATS34 and actually sharpened quite easily.

Oh man, thanks for the heads-up. I had no idea...
 
I have 2 710s and I may just get a third. It's by far the best knife in that size and price range that I have found.
 
Could you tell us a little bit about this proedge guy. How did you come to your conclusion about him?
