Benchmade 710FE-24 Seven | Ten Knife: Gray Aluminum, Drop-Point Recurve

To make the kind knives that last a lifetime and innovations that Benchmade is known for, their continual collaboration with skilled artisans, designers and craftsmen is essential to the cause. One such fruitful collaboration has been with Bill McHenry and Jason Williams, renowned custom knifemakers with watchmaking roots, who consider their work “art with an edge on it.” McHenry and Williams are also responsible for creating Benchmade’s game-changing AXIS® lock technology on the very first 710 back in 1999. Celebrating the 25th Anniversary of AXIS® lock tech, the new 710FE-24 has that same large frame and ample cutting power as the original — but elevated. Featuring a stylish, drop-point, recurve blade made of mighty CPM S9OV steel with an FDE PVD finish, the 710FE-24 has a stunningly lightweight 6061-T6 Aluminum handle with gray anodized finish, milled FDE PVD standoffs, pocket clip and pivot ring, and satin thumb stud and AXIS® lock. An anniversary variant, inspired by its original designers, McHenry and Williams.

• MEET THE SEVEN | TEN™
  Designed with purpose and built to last, the Seven | Ten™ sets a high bar for durability and performance matched only by our promise that it will be yours, for life.
  
  
• HOW IT'S MADE
  Laser-cut from sheets of high-grade steel, every Benchmade blade is ground, beveled, and finished with uncompromising precision. We mill and machine handles in-house to the most exacting specifications, and every knife is hand-assembled and sharpened by highly trained technicians bringing to bear over thirty years of manufacturing excellence in our state-of-the-art factory in Oregon City, Oregon.
  
  
• USE & CARE
  Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition:
  
  • All steel, regardless of price and grade, can eventually rust, so it’s important to keep your knife dry and lubricated. If spotting or rust occurs, semi-chrome metal polish will often take care of it.
  • Dishwashers can cause serious damage that is not covered under our warranty, so make sure to hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only, and dry thoroughly.
  • Remember, knives are cutting tools, and you should never use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch, unless the knife is designed explicitly for those purposes.
  • If you choose to sharpen your blade yourself, avoid grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery.
  • Handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may require occasional adjustment using T6 & T10 Torx drivers. We recommend applying a small dab of releasable thread-locker as needed.
