Re: SHARE YOUR BENCHMADES
Thanks bro! I haven't had good luck sharpening serrations so I shy away from them.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: SHARE YOUR BENCHMADES
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!

Re: SHARE YOUR BENCHMADES

Re: SHARE YOUR BENCHMADES
"Like" is a pretty anemic word to describe how I feel about the 710, I LOVE it!garddogg56 wrote:U should like the 710
I have not been this excited about a new user knife since I got my Mini Griptilian!

Re: SHARE YOUR BENCHMADES
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.

Re: SHARE YOUR BENCHMADES
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.

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?

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

Re: SHARE YOUR BENCHMADES
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.
