When Benchmade’s AXIS® lock technology was released on the original
710 back in 1999, it didn’t send ripples through the knife industry, but
rather: rogue waves. The innovative AXIS® lock changed the game
—all thanks to the designer duo Benchmade collaborated with on
the invention, Bill McHenry and Jason Williams, renowned custom
knifemakers with watchmaking roots. The sleek, new 710FE-2401 is a
testament to McHenry and Williams’ craftwork. Celebrating the 25th
Anniversary of AXIS® lock technology, the 710FE-2401 has the same
large frame and ample cutting power of the original 710 and features a
stylish, drop-point, recurve blade made of mighty CPM-Magnacut steel
with an FDE PVD finish. The 710FE-2401 has a lightweight Aluminum
handle with milled black anodized finish, and milled stainless steel with
FDE PVD backspacer and pivot ring and black oxide thumb stud. Our
Limited anniversary variant, inspired by its original designers.
