Going on the Benchmade site I see that the 585BK plain edge is not listed but I DO see it online at other places. Some sites have pointed out that it is limited production and not available anymore. Considering that I haven't seen this mentioned before here I was wondering how limited this knife style is if it's not numbered or if it really is a genuine BM (in that configuration). I only see the combo edge in black. | ||

Most coated blade models are only listed in CE, but any dealer can place a 20 piece minimum order for that model in PE. It won't be a limited run though. ____________________________ Knock, knock.

Thanks for the info, you guys. How durable is the black finish? It's BK1 I believe. | |||

That's what happened with my Griptilian, now I know better and pick up a box cutter to cut cardboard. I'll still open packages with it, but I cut the tape and not the box itself. | |||

Yep, I use a cheapo box cutter for the rough stuff. My 710BK's coating scuffed easily on a carpet project here at the house and I wound up taking the coating completely off. There are a few BK models on my listing, but definitely prefer a satin finish. As much discussed, I prefer the BT coating and even better the BC-1, which last longer. 350, 520, 525BK-1101, 530, 580-1102, 580 Proto, 583-1, 585-1, 710-1, 710-2, 710D2, 710HS, 722, 732, 740, 740 Proto, 741, 745, 746, 746-1201, 750, 790, 800, 800HS, 805-1101, 810, 812, 830, 831, 835HS, 840, 845, 890, 905, 907D2, 910, 910SCG, 912D2, 913D2, 12400 Proto, 12410, 14205, 14210, 40022-100.

So if cardboard can mess up the coating then pretty much anything can. *sigh* | |||

Cardboard is pretty rough. That being said, I really think this is one area where BM could improve their product, tougher blade coating. KnifeRights.org Charter Member #606 - How about you? Pardue Pimps® #722 Boomerangs 'n Butterflies: An Osborne Alliance | Member #722 | |||
