No 710's allowed! ;) I'd like to know what other Benchmade folders you guys and gals like. I know how popular the 710 series are, I want to know what else you all like and why!

I'll start.

I think my Mini Griptilian (556) is my all-time favorite. It's very light but still feels substantial. Even though it's small, I can still hold it well with my large hands. The AXIS lock is the best thing since sweet tea so that goes without saying. I have full confidence in BM's 154CM and this knife gets carried daily a lot!

So how about you? What's your favorite?
 
I like the 940 because it is elegant, thin, light, and fast. It has some flare with the back spacers and i have the green model.
 
My only Bm at the moment is a Kulgera. I've had a 930 for several years and still love it.

I have other BM's I really like a lot. But this is still my favorite:

Large Ritter Grip - w/M4 steel, in brown canvas micarta scales, w/standoffs.

Wow! Where the hell did you find that

Ritter Grips are the highlight of the BMs for me also :)
 
Hey Noddy,
I bought a matching #ed pair when the M4 Ritter's came out. The scales and standoffs I did myself.

My old favorites:
How 'bout a M2 in Moss Corian? Or a Mini M4 in Blue/Black G10?

I am a Griptilian man myself. I have a 555hg mini and a 551bksn full size grip. Love both and carry both a lot. The 555hg mini gets a lot of pocket time because it is so light. 154cm is a great steel IMO.
 
My favourite Benchmade's are:
Rukus 610 with carbon handle ( three full hunting seasons it was on me , approx. seven Mooses were skinned and one bear)
Harley Davidson Hardtail 13100 (a bigger brother of them)
710 M390 black coated

i am in love with my Rift 950, i have knives that cost a lot more but always find myself picking up the rift.
 
I like the Benchmade 940 followed by a tight race between the 730 Ares and the 804 AFCK. Those are my top 3. The 940 is a nice size knife but easy to carry and weighs very little at under 3 ounces. Kevin :D
 
My favorite (and only) Benchmade is the 943. Light weight, simple and very functional design. Only beef is the aluminum handles scuff and scratch easily.
