Benchmark knives carbon fiber8/15/2023 ![]() For its small size, it's still comfortable, even for those with larger palms. I'm referring to the finger grooveĪnd the handle edges. Handle - Flag checkered, black carbon fiber handle on 770 looks really cool, though the machined parts kind of ruin the picture. Later on I've sent the knife back to Benchmade to get Boron Carbide coated blade. The pre-production knife I got originally I wrote a lot about Boron Carbide coating in 710 McHenry & Williams review. Though most likely you won't be using 2.8-inch blade knife for utility purposes, but if there's nothing else.Ĭoating - One more detail worth mentioning is the new coating Benchmade introduced in 2001. Recurve really helps with most cutting tasks, spear point is strong, and there'sĮnough belly on the blade for utility uses and fine cutting. Overall, the blade geometry is efficient enough to make 770 Osborne perform very well for its size. I've writtenĮnough about Benchmade 154CM steel, for more check out 940 Osborne review. By the way, for the mass production knife that's a very good result. So, quite confidently one could say it's 59 RC. Short, they all came out with the lower margin. Interestingly enough, one gentleman posted his Rockwell test results for the different Benchmade blades. No big deal though, I resharpen all the Benchmade knives I get anyways.īlade material used - 154CM, with Rockwell Hardness speced at 59-61. Even with that in mind, my 770 was plain dull when I have received it. Apparently not to the recurve, although who knows ) As usual there are a lot of complaints regarding Benchmade factory edges.

Other than that, I don't really have any complaints regarding Osborneħ70. I for myself would much rather thinner knife of that size. In my opinion, it just makes the knife thicker. ![]() ![]() The way, if you like BM 770 Osborne, you should check out its later evolutions such as Benchmade 773 Osborne and 707 Sequel By the way the spacer filework, looks cool, however I don't know why 770 needed double spacer. For a single knife 770 has bunch of the new features such as:Ĭarbon fiber handles, fileworked spacer and thumbstuds, and modified axis lock. Definitely not going to scare public when presented. Interesting design, with some new details, so why not to have it. Another gent's pocket knife, slick, stylish and functional ) To my taste, it's too small, but it's a nice looking, General - 770 is innovative, small folder. Benchmade keeps silence, that's also usual :(. As I write this (01/01)ħ70 first production run is not out yet, the best to my knowledge.
