I was just wondering what everyone thought about the BM 750 Pinnacle and what is your favorite BM. in case you are wondering, i am asking to see which benchmade I should get.

Hey! Lay off my Hosey COW!!!
 
I forget, is the Pinnacle monolock, if it is I like it and have come close to buying one.
My favorite is my 720bt, or another axis model. It purely a matter of opinion.

i have a 750 and think it is great. i also have a 710, a 910 and a panther. if i were to keep only one, it would be the 750. as soon as the elishewitz axis lock comes out in plain-edge, i'll be selling my 710 to get it. just be warned, i felt i had to do some sharpening on every one but the panther out of the box. if you get the 750, i doubt you'll be dissappointed.
 
IUBI,

I love the BM910 Stryker. The one I have is perfect. It is strong, comfortable, and smooth like glass when opened. I highly recommend it.

have a"knife"day
 
The Pinnacle is supposed to be a great knife. The monolock on it is said to be very similar to the integral lock used on the Chris Reeve Sebenza, with similar strength. The handle is said to be solid and the blade cuts with ease. My favorite BM is the Stryker, though.

The Pinnacle or Monolock is sweet but I prefer the axis lock models because of their slickness. I guess my favorite Benchmade ia the Pardue 720 axis Lock but the new Elishewitz 830 is beauty also. I'm sorry, I can never pick just one knife.
 
The 720 is one slick knife, smooth opening and closing and I love that aluminum handle! But the 750 is still my favourite. Great blade design, titanium handle is fantastic and the mono-lock is so strong. I've got about half a dozen BM and the 750 is my fav.

There are only two types of people; those who understand this, and those who think they do.
 
too many to chose from! the 750 was my 1st and is a good strong knife, the new 730s axis lock is my favorite though, mini stryker is great too, should i go on?
 
The 720, without a doubt. I sold the third one I've owned off of my belt this weekend, and the replacement is on its way. A great, tough, mid-sized knife. Built to work!

I quite like my 730s Axis lock. However, there are others out there...doh! Too many knives to choose from!

I would strongly recommend the 750, a great
knife! I also have an M2 Stryker that I like.
However, I NEED a 720, and would probably
eat a few bucks and trade my 710 (too large
and I don't care for the handle) for one.
 
I have the BM large and small AFCK, the CQC6
,large Stryker and now the 720. I thought that the BM 812 was the best ever, till I got the BM720. I have learned 2 things, no combo blades and BM is the best in the business.

, and reasemble, the Benchmade 750 is a fine, economical choice. Built for business.

BTW: Mike might still have one in stock? If so, it's probably the best price for one you'll find around.

Yeah! Drop the chalupa...
 
The 750 Pnnacle is THE BEST in it's class. The mono-lock is so strong, this knife might as well be a fixed blade. Get one!! You will love yourself for it.

My favorite Benchmade is the AFCK. Some of the best ergs of any folder I've ever handled (and that includes customs). I also like the Stryker line (excellent ergs, too) though I wish it was a bit larger. But growing interest in linerlock alternatives has me eyeing the Axis lock knives and the MonoLock.
 
For a big folder go for the AFCK.

For a medium sized folder for for the 720 Pardue Axis Lock.

For a small folder go for the Pardue Gent's (330?).

Still the BM 710BT
Though I did buy a 705BT and I like that too.
