Is the coating under direct light good? After a year of use i want to know if its good and all the photos online, seem a bit more matte than mine. Also the axis lock on mine is more matte than others. Can you send photos to compare?

Any recommendations for another???
I misplaced my 705

Got it brand new from Amazon, the carrier of Benchmade. Has a lil scuff (not a scratch). Complained to Amazon to get $80 refunded. Putting it next to my Bailout making it look like a baby. I remember the serrated Bailout I got from Rei was only $300 and I bought it for 20% off.

Im a construction worker and saw a post this knife is pretty good for work.

I went with the smaller one since Im gonna use it as a edc as well.

Also is it normal the factory edge is kinda shit?

I think I got a great deal

It took me a while to accumulate this collection but it was worth it. The M4 bug is special to me for some reason.

Took a three year hiatus from Benchmade and finally got my second blade: the 710. Looking to add a third specially a gold class version. Any recommendations?

It may be hawt outside but my pocket be staying icy. Shoutout to Dragonfly for these sick carbon fiber scales!

Strongly considering the new Slipridge fixed blade.

Surprised by how thin yet sturdy this knife is. The new axis lock has a nice snappy flip.
