i carried a maxx a lot for a while, both a cuda maxx and a ralph maxx, still have a 4" mini maxx and a 5.5" ralph maxx dagger, with jeans they arent bad to edc at all, i wouldnt want a combo edge one though. i think they are a lotta knife for the $$, fit/finish has been good on all i have seen too, i like the dagger version, strictly for the looks, the cuda maxx dagger and my ralph maxx dagger are pretty similar.
the BM 710 is a great knife i have had a couple, never really carried them much i liked the axis AFCK better, but nothing wrong w/the 710 at all.
