Hi all,
I recently picked up a BM 705 from my local dealer that looks a bit different. This is a standard 705 with G-10 scales and 154CM steel, but it has the following oddities:
1) The edge is not ground all the way back - there's about 0.125" of unsharpened edge near the handle.
2) The edge is slightly recurved.
Is this an older version of the 705? Or just a bad example? The thing that makes me think it might be an older version is the slightly recurved edge, since my understanding is that the 710 has the recurve but the 705 does not.
Thanks for your help,
Matthew
