The Benchmade 710D2 folding knife is a standout homage to the original 710, the first Axis lock knife from Benchmade and a classic in its own right. Made with D2 tool steel, this knife boasts a sleek, elongated blade perfect for cutting tasks. Its reversible pocket clip and patented Axis locking mechanism ensure smooth opening and closing, making it an ideal choice for everyday carry (EDC).
Known for its strength, the 710D2 can withstand up to 200 pounds of reverse pressure, providing safety by keeping fingers clear of the blade's path during use. The slightly concave grind enhances cutting efficiency, while dual thumb studs make blade deployment easy. The ergonomically designed handle, crafted from G-10 scales and dual heat-treated 410 stainless steel liners, offers exceptional durability.
A finger groove on the handle's front spacer improves control and grip stability. The 710D2 was named Knife of the Year at the 1999 Blade Show, highlighting its excellence in design and functionality.
