Top 20 Benchmade Knives

I thought the 707 was a replacement for the 705. Hence the name Sequel.

I don't know. Before my time. We could lump 705/707/710 together?! Alternatively, two separate entries for 707 & 710...

Personally, 707 and 710 are distinct.

The 707 (I work afternoons/evenings, BTW) was the Sequel to the 705. Between the chunky handles and thin clip point blade I'm not sure it was very popular, even if that knife was the first Forum knife. The 707 is a better design (blade-wise) even with the aluminum scales, IMO.

Thanks For clearing that up.
That being said Shouldn't you lump the 705 with the 707 instead of the 710?

I went back to the original list for this, that is, one choice for 710 and another for 707 Sequel. Dropped 705 entirely. See post# 11.

They ARE pretty sweet (here's a couple of Mini's):

I'm torn to whether I'm upset (not really) that you teased us with these pics or excited as all get out that you did. Truly a knife I would have loved to have gotten my hands on before they discontinued it.

 

[NorthernSouthpaw]

My fault for bringing it up. I'll take the heat.

Skirmish is probably the ONLY non-Lefty or non-tip up carry knife that I wouldn't bat an eye about purchasing. It's just that cool.

 

[MobileFireLord]

Yeah, I am still hoping for AXIS- Skirmish. The blade / knife shape is very elegant.

That's awesome the 42 won, would love to see it come back in to production so I could buy another one.
