What's Next?

[RevDevil]

SO, what is next on your list to buy?
I really want to get a 761, 808, or maybe a Stryker auto (full size). What about you?

I had a 943 and it got nicked by some rissole 18 months or more back. Loved that BM.
Have been waiting for a 943-1 to get as a replacement, but I see no sign of that happening... so may just have to go ahead and get another standard 943.
Unless someone can tell me there will be a -1 in the works...???

Hello? Mr and Mrs Benchmade? 943-1 943-1 943-1 943-1 ...please?

I really want to get the new 698. Pretty much just that, maybe a 550-1 G-10 Griptilian.

 

[miltmaldo]

765 is the benchmade I want . I have the 761 but it's a bit to big for my EDC needs .

 

[jazub]

Mini Grip. I had never handled one but, once I did, I got the fever for smaller blades. Should be a great stopgap for the 698

 

[RatbikeJim]

The 119 arvensis

I just today got my first Benchmade in a long while, a 20cv Grip.
Nice knife, I'll definitely carry it around for a while.

Given finances, the 765 (PE satin) would be the ticket for this year.

 

[Spyder328]

Well, since I just got my mini ritter grip today, I'll probably end up with the full size soon

 

[REVDH]

A new grip blade. Then either 275 or nakamura

 

[Insipid Moniker]

The upcoming Hunt series Crooked River is likely to be my next. It's the size I like, has nice, modern features and a traditional aesthetic that I really like. Sort of an homage to oldschool folding hunters like the Buck 110.

I need me the 20CV Grip!

 

[Barman1]

I need me the 20CV Grip!

Yup. :thumbup:

I'm pretty excited about BM's 2016 lineup. Several are looking mighty tempting: 698, 765, 15080, and 490.

Another one of these:

 

[RevDevil]

The 119 arvensis

That one is a nice one too.

Another one of these:

Yep, I like that one too. I think Benchmade does some of the best framelocks and liner locks in the business.

 

[Cypress]

The 119 arvensis

This, and the 3551.

 

[zombieassassin]

BM62 and a 62T

To me, it’s the perfect EDC and hands down my #1 favorite BM.

- 3.73” blade length with 0.12” thickness - thick enough for any EDC task without being delicate, plus M390 is my favorite EDC pocket knife steel.

- The machined bevel of the Ti scales feels great in hand, basically giving off the illusion (or feel) of thinner scales.

- Deployment is so smooth that you see the blade opening, but you aren’t feeling it open. Makes you wonder why they aren’t using TBW’s on all their newer knives.. Probably a price thing..

- Lastly, the F&F is excellent. There is plenty of discreet, modern detail - if you don’t notice it, you aren’t looking hard enough. The sandblasted/oiled Ti finish gives off a nice texture and the gear-like standoffs look great.

I'm looking forward to the 765. Looks to be about the right size for me and the option of tip up carry. The 761 I just fondled was smooth as silk I wish it had option to move the clip.
