Benchmade SEVEN | TEN AXIS Lock Folding Knife | Black / Satin

At The Grit, we're thrilled to present the Benchmade SEVEN | TEN AXIS Lock Folding Knife, a true icon reborn for the modern enthusiast. A quarter-century ago, the original 710, born from the innovative minds of knifemakers Bill McHenry and Jason Williams, revolutionised the industry with the introduction of the groundbreaking AXIS Lock mechanism, setting new standards for secure and ambidextrous operation. Now, for 2024, Benchmade proudly reintroduces this legendary design, meticulously upgraded to push the boundaries of durability and reliable performance even further. This full-sized, next-generation folder features the instantly recognisable recurved blade profile, expertly crafted from M390 steel and finished with a striking satin sheen, renowned for its exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. The robust handle scales, precision-machined from black 6061-T6 aluminium, provide a secure and comfortable grip that feels substantial in the hand. Subtle yet impactful details like the black oxide hardware and FDE accents complete a design that masterfully bridges its celebrated past with cutting-edge future innovation, making the Benchmade SEVEN | TEN a compelling choice for those who demand both heritage and peak performance from their gear.
