Vintage Elishewitz AXIS Lock Folding Knife 710SBKD2

The 710 was designed by knife makers Bill McHenry and Jason Williams. This is a father and stepson team that invented the Axis lock. They subsequently and then sold the rights to the Axis lock to Benchmade. Benchmade asked McHenry & Williams to design a knife to feature this new locking mechanism and the 710 is what they came up with. The 710 is the first Benchmade knife to ever feature the Axis lock.

The 710 provides a larger frame and more cutting power. The D2 steel reverse curve blade is practical and stylish. The G-10 scales over the 410 stainless steel frame is both lightweight and sturdy and its texture provides excellent grip.

Hardly used. Excellent condition.
