Benchmade 710 score!

I have to share my score with those that would understand.

Just flew into Anchorage AK this afternoon on business. I had a little time to kill so I stopped by the local knife store. This is what I found (see below). It was in the case in what looks like new condition. I've always wanted to try a 710. I never could make myself pull the trigger on the standard one. This one does the trick for me though.

Does anyone know when this knife was produced?

Feel free post any 710 pics you have!

Thanks for the info Cory, and the pics Joe!

I said to myself "I can sell it, if wifey gets too mad!" (I've been on a bit of a benchmade spending spree lately;-) Lucky she understands and I'm keeping it. It's already swapped to lefty carry and in the pocket!


Last minute edit: "Holy crap Cory!"

Nice score! I only have 2. One in D2 and this green one in M4. Great knives though.

That green one is one of my personal favorites. I've got an extra one with some cosmetic issues, so it's probably gonna become a user one of these days.

That's awesome. I love M4. Probably one of my favorite steels to use. Has such great character
 
705 is 231/250
710 is 98/500

Ah, you got lucky. I've got the plain edge version of that 705 and if the numbers matched I was gonna force you to buy it. But since it's not a perfect match, I'll let you slide this time haha.

I really have no intention of selling that one, just wanted to see if the numbers matched.

And jkarp you've got a nice little collection going there as well.
 
You would not have needed to use much force Corey!!!
