I just started getting interested in knives. I searched over and over and kept coming back to the benchmade 705. Unfortunately, it was discontinued from the factory. What knife is out there with a comparable price, equal steel, and a drop point blade?
 
The BM 707 Sequel is the replacement to the 705. Same blade shape as the 705, but a smaller handle. I think this was a common complaint about the 705 was that the handle was a bit big and unwieldy for the smaller blade. The 707 comes in 154CM.
 
My first EDC (though I've had a lot of earlier knives)was a BM 705 and it's been with me for two years. I've felt as if I didn't need another as it's exceptional.

When Benchmade discontinued the M2 steel, I picked up recently a 710HS, the bigger brother to the M2.

I am in love the the M2 steel and there are two knives that are being released that I would recommend:

Enjoy! :thumbup:
 
707. However, you should be able to find some 705s if you shop around. Then again, you could get both. :)

Peace.
