You might want to also look at the 773. Same basic knife but with anodized aluminum scales.

I've had one for a month or so now and love it. I'm a big fan of carbon fiber and benchmade did it right! The 770 in its original form had a different look to it, but this new generation is very sharp looking. I picked up the 770 CF with BC1 coated blade. The Axis lock is a beauty and the overall action is one of the smoothest openers I've handled.

Blade measures just under 3" (cutting edge 2 3/4"). Clip setup for tip up carry w/dual thumbstuds. Did I mention this baby's smooth? A little effort on the thumb stud and it locks open. No need for any wrist motion, just a flick with the thumb and its open. The perfect gent's folder and one of my regular EDC's.

Couple of photos for you:

And here's the 770 with a couple of his carbon fiber brothers, William Henry Monarch & Kestrel.
