Detailed product description
When a legend comes back in modern form
When an icon returns, expectations are high. The Benchmade 710-25 McHenry & Williams celebrates the first collaboration that defined an entire era of folding knives. And here it is in top form – in a limited reissue that pays tribute to history while living fully in the present. A blade made from premium M390 steel, a subtle recurve profile, and black machined aluminum handle scales come together in a knife that is more than just a nostalgic memory. It is a tool that will stand up today and tomorrow.
Delicate elegance and brutal strength – the 710-25 handles precise cuts as well as hard work. And the AXIS Lock remains as smooth and reliable as it was years ago.
🔧 About the 710 model and its legacy
The 710 was the very first Benchmade knife with the AXIS lock. It was designed by Bill McHenry and Jason Williams – and it changed the world of folding knives. Today, the 710-25 returns as both a collector’s piece and a fully capable working tool. And with modern materials such as M390 and machined aluminum, it carries its legacy even further.

Key parameters
Key benefits
- M390 blade – excellent edge retention, extreme corrosion resistance, and exceptional cutting performance.
- Recurve profile – increases cutting efficiency, ideal for draw cuts and technical tasks.
- Ergonomic handle – black machined aluminum fits the hand perfectly while offering an elegant, industrial look.
- AXIS Lock – a legendary lock with smooth action and maximum safety.
- Iconic design – the McHenry & Williams design is timeless, proven, and now even better.
- 🔴 Possible drawbacks
- Recurve blade – can be more difficult to sharpen without the right tool (a ceramic round sharpener is recommended).
- Limited edition – availability is limited, which collectors will appreciate, but it also increases the price and scarcity.
- Aluminum handle – beautiful and lightweight, but it may feel slippery with gloves or in wet conditions (we recommend a paracord lanyard for better security).
Maintenance and care
M390 holds an edge for a long time, but occasional touch-ups with a ceramic or diamond sharpener are recommended, for example: Spyderco Tri-Angle Sharpmaker Complete Sharpening System 204MF, available on our website.

Lubricating the pivot (e.g. Nano Oil) will keep the AXIS/Crossbar lock operating smoothly.
Aluminum does not require special care – just normal cleaning with a soft cloth.
