Thanks bro!

I haven't had good luck sharpening serrations so I shy away from them.

I got a new favorite EDC in a trade with Gino.
I got a 710 in the box with an aftermarket clip on it.

I love this knife and the CPM D2 steel is awesome!
I may get a deep pocket clip for it, but other than that it is about perfect for what I carry it for; one hand deployment and heavy duty cutting.

Thanks Gino, I love the trade!

I'm surprised Geno let that one go Dale

U should like the 710

"Like" is a pretty anemic word to describe how I feel about the 710, I LOVE it!

I have not been this excited about a new user knife since I got my Mini Griptilian!

Thats cool Dale but anemic thats makes love a real strong statement

How long have ya had that 710??

I just got it Monday, but I have been putting it through its paces really good.
I cut up a bunch of cardboard boxes for recycling this week.

Today I put some new anti-fatigue rubber matting in my shop, replaced about half of the old matting. I had to cut the old matting up to get in in the garbage can. I cut it in about 1' squares, must have ended up with about 20 1' squares. The old matting had sand and small gravel in it and duct tape on it.
By the time I was done the blade was covered with tape residue and was really dragging, but no nicks from the rocks in the matting.

I cleaned off the blade with Goo Gone then stropped it. It was back to hair popping in no time.
I didn't really needed to strop it, the biggest problem was the residue on the blade.

In case ya didn't see it in the other thread, I pulled the trigger on this one this morning. It should be here this week sometime. Sellers picture. Benchmade 555HG-YEL MINI-GRIPTILIAN. As I said in the other thread, I would have rather had the orange but they are discontinued and really expensive when you can find them.

Very nice Jerry.

I suspect you're going to love that knife.

garddogg56 · Post by **garddogg56** » Mon Jul 13, 2015 8:25 am

Sorry Jerry I didn't see it U will love that 555 I sure do

jerryd6818 · Post by **jerryd6818** » Mon Jul 13, 2015 9:23 am

Thanks Phil & dogg. I've read a lot of good things here on AAPK about the Grip & Mini-Grip.

Great find, jerryd!

1967redrider · Post by **1967redrider** » Sun Aug 16, 2015 3:40 am

Benchmade duo, fixed and folding - both with S30V blades, G-10 scales and part of the "Hunt" series. Made in the USA, what's not to like?

junebug · Post by **junebug** » Sun Aug 16, 2015 5:40 am

NICE

John, that pair would make a really neat display to set out or hang on the wall. Cool knives.

Very Nice!

Been wanting to get one of the folders. Just haven't got around to it yet!

Thanks for your kind words.

Believe it or not, that fixed blade has the first Kydex sheath I've owned. I think I like them, simple and durable.
