When Benchmade’s AXIS lock technology was released on the original 710 back in 1999, it sent more than ripples through the knife industry; it was a tsunami. The innovative AXIS lock changed the game — all thanks to the designer duo Benchmade collaborated with on the invention, Bill McHenry and Jason Williams, renowned custom knifemakers with watchmaking roots. The sleek, new 710FE-2401 is a testament to McHenry and Williams’ craftwork. Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of AXIS lock technology, the 710FE-2401 has the same large frame and ample cutting power of the original 710 and features a stylish drop-point, recurved blade made of mighty CPM-Magnacut steel with an FDE PVD finish and black thumb studs. The 710FE-2401 has a lightweight aluminum handle with mild black anodized finish, and milled FDE PVD backspacer and pivot ring. A Limited anniversary variant, inspired by its original designers.
Key Features:

• BLADE STYLE. RECURVE DROP POINT. The subtle S-shape of the cutting edge results in a sweeping curve, providing an ample belly in the forward portion of the blade that's good for slicing.
• BLADE STEEL. CPM-MAGNACUT SUPER STAINLESS STEEL (60-62HRC) SUPER STAINLESS STEEL. A new stainless tool steel with a combination of toughness and edge retention with excellent corrosion resistance and strength.
• 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
