Hello All-

What's the smallest (in blade length) knife that you know of that has something similar to the Axis/Arc locking system?

To my looking, I can't find any smaller than the mini-griptillians, but I defer to your knowledge.

Thanks
 
Benchmade 707 Sequel. Bit slimmer, very nice, and has AXIS lock.
You won't evn know it's in your pocket.:thumbup:
Blade length is 2.95 inches, but handle is only 3.80.
 
Benchmade 530.
Axis lock, 3.25" blade, and a very slim carry.
Weighs under 2 ounces!

Great knife.

Keep 'em coming. These are great.

Concerning the Paul Presto, I really like the looks of it, but in searching these forums I've read some complaints about blade play and lock up. Have these quality issues been resolved with the LW knives??

Love that 773, too, but it seems to be discontinued. I wonder why BM has gotten away from smaller blades.
 
how many complaints would you say that you have gotten? i have only played with one, but it locked solidly with no play. i have always been under the impression that it worked wonderfully. i'm interested to know how many complaints that you have heard/read.

to bad they dont make the 960 smaller (though it is small in a sense)

Benchmade 707 Sequel. Roughly same blade length as mini-grip. Very slim comfortable handle. Very nice carrying knife.
 
I just searched this forum. Various people made mention of quality issues, blade play, and said that it might be due to being related to Gerbers. I don't know about such things, but I don't have a way to handle them myself. These issues might have been cleaned up, too. The forums go way back.
 
The smallest currently available Benchmade axis lock that I know of & had one of, is the Benchmade HK 14210. The blade's a modified spear-point in 154CM at 2.95" long & a closed length of 3.85". Not a bad knife at all.
 
the. Blackhawk 705, is a small 710 with a recurve blade made by benchmade. Its blade steel is cm154 it is 2.95 in length.
