The Benchmade 710 although simple looking is the end product of a lot of hard work over the path of 4 years of the two remarkable designers Bull McHenry and Jason Williams. The AXIS lock is completely ambidextrous and will allow for easy one-handed opening and closing of the blade without your fingers ever being in the path of the blade. The lock design is plain to operate without directions required on how the knife functions.

As plain as the lock is, maybe its principal selling highlight is its brute strength. To test the lock, a load of more than 200 pounds was applied. The lock supported it with no damage. When the lock does finally fail, the liners merely crack over the locking pin, although at no time in Benchmade's testing would the blade have closed on the users hand.

The AXIS lock features two Omega shaped springs added for significant practical redundancy. The springs are stressed a little bit. Various tests indicate they should last indefinitely. In the improbable occasion that one of the springs does fail, another can still operate the knife just fine.

Is this the strongest lock made? That's very hard to say for sure. The maker states the Benchmade 710 is more robust than any other knives on market. The blade of the version 710 has a reverse-curve grind for better cutting power. It is made out of D2 steel.

On the base end of the knife, there is a removable stainless steel pocket clip. The design of the locking device is the reason why the clip is placed on the base end. Placement the clip on the pivot end would force the knife to protrude much far out the pocket.

The belt clip is reversible and feels natural in hand. My 710 Benchmade holds its edge really well and I use it for everything. Like opening packages and envelopes, cutting string, heavy duty plastic box straps, cutting into the occasional snack, cutting paper and cardboard, etc.
