Why are we always the last to know? Sigh. I notice the blade looks remakably similar to the Sebenza. I like that it is an Axis lock. They make a great knife. Should be a winner.

When I found your site a couple of years ago, I read the review on the BM 710. Until that time, I thought pocket knives were like the one my dad always carries... small, doesn't lock, etc. Then I saw the 710. Wow. :-) Sounds silly, I guess, but I clearly remember that as the moment I got hooked on expensive knives.
Sorry the secret's out early. But if this knife is available to the general public, I'm _definitely_ going to buy one. Heh. At least one. Do they come in different colors? <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />

Do they come in different colors? Not yet...First step is to see if anyone will buy them. Actually, many anyones. <img src="images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> IF it's a success, then we can consider other things. One step at a time.

It looks like a real nice knife, list priced a few bucks higher than the regular Griptilian (that's fine), but the sole vendor is only selling at full list, waaaaaay higher than what the Griptilian sells for at discounters (nobody really pays list). I think if you want to sell a lot of these, the way to do it is put it in the regular Benchmade distribution channel. I hope the exclusive deal with that one vendor is just temporary, and sooner or later the regular discount dealers will have them. I do like the flat ground blade and I think there's a terrible scarcity of flat ground folders (Spyderco Military is one of the few other good ones I can think of). So that by itself is enough to make this knife interesting.
