What would be your top Benchmade folding knife? I am going with the mini grip myself. Perfect size for edc and it is my most carried benchmade. Love that knife!
 
Out of the pieces I own my favorite is my trusty 530. I love how slim and light the design is while still remaining reasonably rugged. As far as a piece I'd love to have, I absolutely love the Onslaught. I just can't justify dropping the bills on one when my actual needs are already well-met, but there's just something about a broad thin blade that gets me every time. :)
 
Dejavoo mini and regular or Mini-Onslaught. Would have hard time to decide just one.... Probably Dejavoo after all.
No! It is 800 - 805 of course: silly me! I have got one of 800 and three of 805: and still want more! :)
 
The 2750 ADAMAS Auto. It weighs close to 1/2 pound, insanely heavy, but it is a tank, and if you havn't had one in hand, you should try one, they are crazy solid. Siebert built a winner.
 
The 710 and 950 Rift are probably my favorites from the Benchmade lineup. Ergonomic and slick opening big blades.

710, top, with cousins.
 
My favorite BM design is my MPR, but due to the fact that it developed some annoying rock-lock early on, i can't claim it as my "top" BM.
So, my top BM would have to be my Shot Show Mini-Onslaught LE.
Great ergo's, smooth axis-lock combined with spydie hole is sweet, the D2 blade is nice and thin, and the smooth CF scales with blue anodized standoffs give it a luxurious appeal.
 
This one right here!

Anything in M390... :D I've had three MPR's (trying to like this little knife to no avail) two 581's and would love an AFCK in M390...

Seriously though, the Barrage 581 is my top pick followed by the Pardue 530. Honourable mention goes to the Bedlam for it's fun/cool factor.

I've had a few Benchmades but all have come and gone but the minis. I really like this knife and it just happens to be inexpensive... unless you add custom scales!

I have quite a few benchmades, but if I could only pick one... 940 Osborne, I have the plain edge with black blade (S30V). I usually carry my 741 Onslaught (defensive) and either my Emissary or 940 as my EDC.
 
The Rukus & AFCK are my all time favorites but as a practical carry knife at the moment it's the Contego and the Rift.

Sorry, couldn't choose just one...
