If I could keep only five of my Benchmades, they would be:
HK Nitrous Blitz
710 in M390
Infidel
940-121
2550 Mini-Reflex
On Deck: 710 in CPM-M4 if the 940-121 was no longer in my rotation. But it is! :cheerful:
Glad I do not have to go down to only five! Great knives, great company with FANTASTIC customer service.

Ooops!
It would be so nice if you who are able to post pictures !!
How do you like the Bone Collector and what blade steel is this one Keyman? I've had my eye on one.
Thanks

How come your 710's don't have that recurve?
Also, do you know where I might find the all black handle scales for my newly obtained 610 Ruckus?
Thank You

?? Those 710's look normal.
Your right,
It's just the angle of the picture.
I'm trying really hard to like the 710 but that recurve in the blade just kills it for me

Actually, that is what is often refered to as a "Mini Bonesidio".
A Limited Edition Mini Presidio's M4 blade, combined with a Bone Collectors Walnut scales.
It is indeed a very nice hybrid.

In no particular order:
1 - 710, classic, for good reason
2 - 707, my favourite small and light EDC
3 - 950 Rift, a favourite work (industrial site) knife of mine
4 - 940 and 943, yes both of them, they really are that good. I can count these 2 as 1 yeh? So I can sneak in another...
5 - Barrage 586, cos I just really like it and the M390 is mint

Hypermole, if you don't mind my asking, what about the recurve do you find so off putting?

Not quite sure. Appearance, Functionality, Strength ? I guess it's just a personal preference.
I love the 940 and Benchmade H&K 14200 Knife Plain Edge.
Nothing wrong with that. You don't dig it you don't dig it. I know a lot of people are concerned about recurves when it comes to sharpening them and why I asked.
As long as the recurve is slight I've never had any issue sharpening one myself.
I'll have to tell you though they make great slicers. When it comes to cutting the recurve really allows the blade to bite into the material being cut, especially on the draw cut..
Best of luck!
