I have a discontinued knife (Not BM), which I either want to sell or trade so I can get my next Benchmade. I should be able to easily get 150.00 for it if sold, or traded so that is where the budget comes from. I want a sturdy folder with a full size, plain edge, preferrably uncoated blade.
So far I have the 710, and 581. I am very happy with these two and want to try another BM. I need large size grips/scales, with as much heavy weight and beefy feel as possible due to having really large hands.

Suggestions please. I don't need the knife to be new.

Thanks very much.

BM 275 is a good place to start.

For heavy and beefy feel, you can't do better than the new model 275.

520BK-1101 Presidio measures in at 3.42 inch blade and that's CPM-M4, which is excellent steel but always coated... $160 at the online retailer that knife is exclusive to. Slightly lesser in size and bulk as the 275 but it's still a pretty substantial knife.

This thread shows the size difference between a 275 and a 520 pretty well.

Its a dealer exclusive ... so you dont have a competition going.
He,s the only one that has it , so theres no harm done.

And to add a little more .......YES the 520 M-4 is one hell of a knife , very tuff.

A review uploaded TODAY by our very own for mite, Dingo.

The large Bone Collector 15020 has good heft to it. Some swap the blade with a presidio.
