The knife that invented the AXIS Lock. 25 years later, it is back and better.

In 1999, Bill McHenry and Jason Williams introduced the original Benchmade 710 and along with it, the AXIS Lock, one of the most influential folding knife mechanisms ever produced. The 710-25 is the 25th anniversary return of that knife, built on the same large frame and iconic recurve drop-point blade profile, but upgraded throughout. M390 steel replaces the original blade material, delivering a significant edge retention and corrosion resistance upgrade. The AXIS Lock has been refined with improved longevity and reliability over the original mechanism. Black 6061-T6 aluminum handles keep the build clean and purposeful. The satin blade finish against the black aluminum handle is a combination that holds up aesthetically for years of hard carry. 4" blade, 8.95" overall, 5.20 oz. Made in Oregon City, Oregon.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The 710-25 is a legitimate piece of American knife history in your pocket. The AXIS Lock changed the market in 1999 and the knives that carry it today are better for 25 years of refinement. M390 on the original platform is an upgrade that makes sense. If you want a full-size folder with real heritage, this is it.
