What's Your Favorite Benchmade?

Full size Skirmish 630BK1.....probably my favorite production knife ever. I used this knife daily for several years and it never gave me second of trouble and is still opens as smooth as silk and locks up perfectly. For such a big knife it carries incredibly easy in my front jeans pocket. I wish Benchmade would fire up production on these again.....I'd buy two in a heartbeat.

Do these answer the question? :D
 
My 710 in M390 has quickly become one of my favorite folders. Benchmade did a great job with the edge and heat treat.
 
The Rift and the Mini-Rukus, but lately I've been carrying a Mini-Dejavoo for the smoothness and the liner lock
 
My favorite Benchmade is the 610 Rukus. I love the style, ergonomics, and blade style. I have no problem toting my Rukus anywhere. A close second is the 425 Gravitator, awesome style, ergos, and blade style. A close third is the TSEK, again all the above, just depends on what I'm feelin' for the day and what I may encounter. A close 4th...hell, they're all my favorite!
 
The 970 is my favorite (love that Emerson design), with the 690 a close second. The 690 is far away the winner in the looks department.

My 720 has been getting a lot of carry in the last year, though.
 
The Benchmade 940 is the only BM I own and the only BM I simply 'had to have.' Great knife, but the Spyderco Para 2 has since put it in a head-lock, spit in its eye, set it on fire, slept with its girlfriend with impunity, and smacked its mum... :eek: I still really like my 940 though, and it has a permanent home in my collection. :thumbup:
 
I guess I'm the only Presidio fan. The 520 is my fave knife. Super tough and nice to hold. I also really like aluminum handles, I like the industrialness of an all metal knife.

2nd would be the Stryker family, I really like the shape and feel. I have a 907 mini Nitrous Stryker that's nice and light and fires very fast, I'm not the biggest fan of liner locks though. I always want to steal my step dads auto Stryker whenever we go visit. I'm all over an Axis version if it ever happens! :D

3rd would be the Ritters, I like the tall blade.
 
My favorite is my Mini Bone Collector. I actually lost it in Atlantic City but just purchased one on the forums to replace it.
 
755 M.P.R. for me. The Mini-Grip is second in line although mine came with a terrible edge from the factory. The 755 came sharp.
 
950BK-1001 and 942. I recently acquired a CTS-20CP Para2 but it doesn't inspire me that much. It's a fine knife and all but I'm fine with CPM-M4 and a reverse tanto ;)
 
The Snody Gravitator, 950 Rift, and the 615 Mini-Ruckus... i'm sad they ever stopped making those :(
