New folders in M2

flatgrinder · Apr 21, 2006

Anyone know which manufacturers currently manufacture a folder with an M2 blade?

Ever since Benchmade discontinued the 710HS, I haven't been able to find one.

Thanks!

There's the limited edition Ritter MiniGrip in M2. The full size M2 Ritter Grip is sold out, but they still have some of the minis left.

http://www.equipped.org/rsk_mk1HS.htm for details on the knife.

May I suggest that if you really have your heart set on an M2 knife get Ritter mini-grip (or several) while they are still available. Because of the limited production they are sure to bring premium prices on the secondary market.

I'm already on the waiting list for a large version

I so badly wanted a full size Ritter/Grip in M2. I will probably settle for the mini though, great steel and great design.

Ordered my Ritter M2 a long time ago. Can't wait for second shipment.

So there's nothing with M2 right now except the Ritter Grip? That's kind of lame...

If we are talking production knives you are so right. Still a few custom makers who will make one for you if you're willing to pay the price. Yes, I agree, this is a sad scenario because M2 steel is one of the best out there.

Isn't this one M2?

Benchmade 710HSSR McHenry & Williams M2

With the exception of the Ritter knives, BM stopped production of M2 blades.

So, the Benchmade 710HSSR McHenry & Williams M2 is OOP. Can still be found though (watch out as some are asking rediculous prices considering the number out there IMO).

Kinda hoping another firm will step in, though without the axis it won't be the same.
