My Mini Harley Davidson Hard Tail plain edge black blade in D2 with the Axis lock is my favorite ever Benchmade built folder. Its one of two I've ever kept anyway. ;)

This modified 635 is one of my favorite EDCs of all time.

Mines a 3550. I've had this knife for 14 yrs. I've gone through 2 spring replacements. It's so light and thin I don't even notice it when carrying.
 
The Stryker was my daily carry since 03. I carried it the entire time I was in the Marine Corps, minus bootcamp of course. I lost it twice, once in my lazyboy and once in Iraq, but it miraculously came back to me. Then a little over a year ago it was stolen along with my backpack out of my Jeep. I'd had it in my pack while I got used to trying the Large Bone collector as a daily carry. Luckily a member here(can't remember who, sorry) hooked me up with a replacement Stryker at an unbelievable price. Currently it resides in my gun cabinet though. I don't want to risk losing it.
 
I like my knives to be big, beefy and fairly heavy usually. My favorite Benchmade, is the Bedlam.

The 810 for me, as to me it represents a balance between tough edc and slim in the pocket.
The 710 next, the blade shape has to be one of the most attractive ones EVER in my book.
I don't own a Benchmade that I do not like...
And Benchmade, thanks for NOT making knives in steel inferior to cm154.........ie: aus 8, 8cr13mov, etc. ( and hey, don't flame me, I own lots of knives with this type of steel, Im just sayin)

Without a doubt the 943 is my favorite Benchmade for an EDC. I have carried some configuration of the 94x series everyday for the past 12 years. The only way to make this knife better is to release a version with G-10 handles.
 
I really like my good ol' 551 Griptilian when I know I'm going to need a knife but most of the time my 707, my very first Benchmade, is the preferred edc. It gets most of daily tasks done and is hardly noticeable in my pocket.
 
Either the 950 or 551 in one of their CPM-M4 versions. In terms of physical size, they're almost the same.

Word is, a certain online knife store is going to have a 940 with g10 scales at some point this year...
 
Rift or Ritter Grip would be my vote, of the current models.

That being said, I'd love to see a BM/Darrel Ralph collaboration--basically, I want a Gunhammer with an AXIS lock.
