I'm also surprised that the DLC version isn't sold out. That's the only one of my many 710's I decided to keep. It's three best coating I've seen on a blade from benchmade.

The 7's: 707-901, 710DLC-1, 730-801, 732-01, 745, 790
The 8's: 805-1101, 806D2, 812 serrated, 812-101, 860, 8600BK
The >=9's: 930, 941BC1 RED, 12800BK801, 13100, 1100 Damascus pen

Hope you like it Jedi, I sure do.
The G10 felt grippier to me, I notice somebody else make that comment too. Plus the rounded spine is just outta this world.

Yes - not sure why that is true, other than perhaps the cost difference? Black blades used to be more popular years back, I think I recall. And the DLC coating beats heck out of all the paint-type finishes.

"I wonder why the coated ones haven't sold out the way the satin finish ones did?"

Satin always wins. Everyone knows it, but the folks that make knifes.

The Black was the surprise on this one.
Started out Satin S90v. Ended up the great knifes that they both are. All other spec's
came through.


S90v Please......

Why would satin win? Black usually is more in demand.... Like the infidel

I actually thought the satin was too scratched (stone washed). There was too much random pattern and it was too easy to see for my preference so I kept the black one. I normally stay far away from coated blades but DLC seems like it's durable enough to use everyday w/o ending up all scratched up.

I'm really impressed w/ the M390. I haven't used it a ton but all the informal tests I've seen on other forums seem to indicate it's right up there w/ S90V and other super steels.

99% of knife collectors prefer satin.

Just how it is.


S90v Please......
