Benchmade Seven | Ten AXIS Lock Folding Knife | Black / Tan

At The Grit, we're excited to offer a truly special piece of knifemaking history - the Benchmade 710FE-2401, a commemorative knife celebrating the 25th anniversary of Benchmade's revolutionary AXIS lock technology. This exceptional knife is a testament to Benchmade's dedication to innovation and collaboration, a legacy built upon partnerships with talented artisans and designers like Bill McHenry and Jason Williams, the very creators of the AXIS lock. The 710FE-2401 is a modern evolution of the iconic Benchmade 710, the knife that first introduced the world to the game-changing AXIS lock mechanism back in 1999. This anniversary edition retains the same substantial frame and impressive cutting power of the original, but with a series of premium enhancements and a distinctive aesthetic that sets it apart. The 710FE-2401 features a stylish drop-point, recurve blade forged from premium CPM-MagnaCut steel, renowned for its exceptional toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance. The FDE PVD finish not only adds a touch of tactical elegance but also provides a durable protective layer. Complementing the impressive blade is a lightweight yet robust 6061-T6 aluminium handle, finished in a sleek black anodised coating. Milled FDE PVD standoffs, pocket clip, and pivot ring add a touch of visual interest, while the thumb studs and AXIS lock mechanism ensure smooth and effortless deployment. This anniversary edition is a tribute to the enduring legacy of the AXIS lock, a testament to the ingenuity of McHenry and Williams, and a symbol of Benchmade's unwavering commitment to pushing the boundaries of knife design and performance.
