To make the kind knives that last a lifetime and innovations that Benchmade is known for, their continual collaboration with skilled artisans, designers and craftsmen is essential to the cause. One such fruitful collaboration has been with Bill McHenry and Jason Williams, renowned custom knifemakers with watchmaking roots, who consider their work “art with an edge on it.” McHenry and Williams are also responsible for creating Benchmade’s game-changing AXIS lock technology on the very first 710 back in 1999. Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of AXIS lock tech, the new 710FE-24 has that same large frame and ample cutting power as the original — but elevated. Featuring a stylish, drop-point, recurve blade made of mighty CPM S9OV steel with an FDE PVD finish, the 710FE-24 has a stunningly lightweight 6061-T6 Aluminum handle with gray anodized finish, milled FDE PVD standoffs, pocket clip and pivot ring, and satin thumb stud and AXIS lock. An anniversary variant, inspired by its original designers, McHenry and Williams.
Key Features:
- BLADE STYLE. RECURVE. The edge line is "S"-like in shape. The front part of the blade has a sweeping curve that makes the belly good for slicing.
- BLADE STEEL. CPM-S90V PREMIUM STAINLESS STEEL (59-61HRC). A true super-steel that offers substantial improvements in corrosion resistance over 440C and more wear resistant than D2.
- HANDLE. 6061-T6 ALUMINUM. Exceptionally tough, yet lightweight and naturally corrosion resistant. Aluminum can be anodized in many colors and milled with fine detail.
- OPENING ACTION. MANUAL. “Manuals” must be opened 100% from the closed position to the open position by the user
