| 690 Variants? | Login/Join |
Forumite |
I'm sure there has been a topic on this before but I did not see it in a search. If so please just refer me there. Working for a large Benchmade dealer lets me get my hands on every model every day, but I still have yet to find one as appealing to me a the 690. (Ares are right there too.) What were the most sought after variants, and who uses them as daily carry knives?? Thanks -Tyler Always have a sharp tool in your pocket and the end of your arrow. | ||

You probably won't want to hear this but you just missed the boat.... Florijn had maybe a dozen 690 vars out on the bay recently.  (if I remember correctly) | |||

Here ya go! http://www.pbase.com/florijn/benchmade_690 * after looking that these more closely, there seems to be a handful of 50-only vars. Interesting. | |||

that is a NICE one. Is that a linen or canvas micarta?? I have been carrying a 690-01 or a few months as a daily user and really enjoy it. Thanks for the pics. Always have a sharp tool in your pocket and the end of your arrow. | |||

I carry two 690s as my work day EDCs. One is a 690BCCF, the other is a recombination of three knives, the Damascus blade from a 690DM, standard CF/winewood scales, and the gold anodized liners from the AG Russell exclusive. I also really liked the 690BLU which had blue dyed CF/wood scales. I let that one go in one of my fits of anti-materialism. I'm with you, I think the 690 is just about an ideal medium duty EDC. It is a stocky and sturdy knife that packs a lot of strength into a small and elegant package. I think the blade grinds are beautiful too.  This message has been edited.

This would make a pretty good forum knife... add a little Snody flair to the top spine and an axis lock. Handle material optional.  This message has been edited. Last edited by: upstateguy, | |||
