I suspect that Benchmade will not add Axis Locks to any of their old models, but I'd love to be proven wrong...
If you think about it, their choices are to either: 1) go to great effort to update old designs with Axis Locks that most users won't really notice (
we'll notice, but not the vast majority of users out there who
don't have separate knife rooms in their houses), or, 2) concentrate on building sexy new designs constructed from the ground up around Axis Locks, that not only please us, but also catch the eye of that previously mentioned vast majority of users.
It
looks like they're opting for choice #2. I'm not complaining -- I want a 735HS (or at least a 735BT). Get the Mini-Stryker now -- it's a nice knife, and you don't have much of "this year" left
