I was posting in another thread--http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/1414400-940-1501-KW-Exclusive-- regarding the 940-1501 and suggestions for exclusives/specials in that price range. We touched on several different alternatives and at one point I posted a picture of my 908-1501 next to my Axis Mini-Stryker. Joe posted that he was becoming obsessed with pairing large and small versions of the same model Benchmades. I thought that sounded like a good topic for a thread so--
Show us your pictures of large and a small versions of the same or similar model knives. No need to restrict it to Benchmades. Let's see 'em!
I'll start it off copying my post from the other thread:
Here's a favorite pair--my original 710 and little brother 705. The 710 was, IIRC, my first BM which I've dubbed my "rescue knife". Like a puppy from the pound, my purchase saved it from a neglectful owner who'd allowed it's blade to become pitted and discolored, filled it with grime, sharpened it poorly, and hacked at the back-spacer. I've brought it back a long way and like to keep it original save for replacing the backspacer with standoffs.
The 705 was introduced in 1999 and discontinued in 2004 to be replaced by the Sequel. Mine is a serrated pre-production 320/1000. I'd love to find one just like it, but un-marked with a plain blade to match the big guy. There were a lot of versions of it including aluminum handles with wood inlays and even a fake CF model that was actually G10. Kinda hard to find any out there for sale.
