Product Description
The Benchmade Seven Ten 710-25 is a large-format AXIS Lock folder built around M390 and a recurve blade profile — premium Böhler powder-metallurgy stainless in a satin finish, black anodized aluminum handle, and a blade geometry that delivers improved slicing performance at the cost of a more involved sharpening process.
The blade is M390, Böhler-Uddeholm's premium stainless that outperforms CPM-S30V and CPM-S35VN in edge retention and wear resistance. M390 holds a working edge significantly longer under sustained daily cutting and maintains a satin finish well over extended carry. A fine ceramic or diamond hone is required for efficient sharpening at home — the same requirement as 20CV and other M390-tier steels. The recurve profile creates a concave section in the mid-blade that concentrates cutting pressure at two inflection points for enhanced slicing performance on fibrous materials — more effective than a straight edge for cutting rope, webbing, and materials that require sustained pressure across the blade. The recurve sharpens correctly on a round-profile ceramic rod, not a flat stone. Black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle scales are rigid, durable, and corrosion-proof. AXIS Lock deploys and closes one-handed from either side.
Ships same or next business day from Knifeworks in Columbia, Louisiana.
• Blade Steel: M390 powder-metallurgy stainless, satin finish — premium edge retention exceeding CPM-S30V and CPM-S35VN; fine ceramic or diamond hone required for efficient sharpening
• Blade: 4.00" recurve profile, plain edge, satin — concave mid-blade section enhances slicing on fibrous materials; two pressure points vs. one on a straight edge
• Recurve sharpening: Requires a round-profile ceramic rod to maintain the concave section — a flat sharpening stone will not properly follow the recurve geometry
• Lock: AXIS Lock — ambidextrous deployment and close, one-handed operation, rated beyond liner lock strength
• Handle: Black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum — rigid, durable, corrosion-proof; black anodized finish
• 710-25 vs. standard 710: Confirm whether -25 designates a special/anniversary edition at benchmade.com/products/710-25
• Dimensions: 9.00" overall, 5.00" closed, 3.60" edge length, 0.128" blade thickness, ~5.35 oz
