Does anybody have one of the 14200-70x models? Other than the sand or foliage colored handles, is there anything else different than the 14205sbk?

Nope other than the colors they are the same. _______________________________ May you be in Heaven a half hour before the Devil knows you're dead. |

Didn't see this post earlier, hope this helps. There actually is a more of a difference than just the G10 Color. The G10 on the 14200-701 is thicker than the 14205, making for a much overall "fatter" feeling handle. Because of the thicker G10, the axis buttons are like the ones on the 420.
Getting down to the nitty-gritty, the diameter of the head on the pivot screw is smaller on the 14200-701 and the G10 texture is different. |

Great comparison, thanks. I'll take either one and am glad to at least own the 14205. These are terrific knives and Uber smooth.

I agree Joe, they are two of my favorite knives. I like the thicker handles of the 701 though, so it gets a bit more pocket time.

mlot, that's cool--thanks for posting the pix. Man, I love the 14205. I'm going to have to add one of these to my 14205 stable before they get any harder to find.

There was a limited release of a 14200-501 which had black G10, thick grooved like the 701/702 with a satin plain edge blade. A very nice piece. The only one I've seen was at the factory store and they wanted list ($220)for it. I bought a 14200-701 for far less instead and had the factory put in a satin plain edge blade for $25. I like the 14205, but I love the fatter G10 handles.

Boy that thicker G10 is a relief huh? The knife was so flimsy with that thin stuff

ryxlyx pointed me to this thread. The 14200-70x looks great and would make a good companion for my 14205. There are still a few out there so I guess I'll have to pick one up.
