Product Description
Wishes really do come true. Benchmade fans will recognize it as a slimmed down 705 with a pumped up blade shape for new found utility. Aircraft grade aluminum scales with G10 inlays redress a leaner profile. As an everyday carry it the Benchmade 707 offers an agility, which easily stymies its closest competitors. It's all good!

I've had this knife for over a year now and I can honestly say that it is the best pocket knife I have ever owned. Mine has been used for everything from opening boxes to cleaning/skinning a deer - and it has always worked perfectly.The main reasons I like this knife are:1) Even though I'm a tall guy with big hands, I don't like to carry a big knife around in my pocket all day. The BM707 has a small enough form factor that it is easy to carry all day, yet it has never been too small for any job that I've thrown at it.2) Of all the locking mechanisms that I've ever seen, I think the Axis lock from Benchmade is the best. Because of the Axis lock, this knife can be opened extremely quickly and locks up rock solid while in use. It is also very easy to close the knife without getting fingers in the way. (As a side note, I do like to put a drop or two of oil on the axis lock to keep it operating smoothly whenever I sharpen it.)3) I like the looks of this knife mostly because it doesn't look 'scary' when I pull it out to use it. Some people may not care what others think, but I've had knives in the past that tended to draw critical stares when I pulled them out; and that gets a bit old. This knife looks classy while remaining a very useful tool.The only minor complaint I have about this knife is the way the G10 scales are inlaid into the handle. I've found that the G10 material is extremely nice for keeping a grip on a wet knife; and the BM707 just doesn't have enough for it to be useful. It also seems like those will probably start coming loose at some point; although, to be fair, they are still locked in after a year of every-day use.I know that a pocket knife is the kind of thing that typically boils down to personal preference, and that just because I like this knife doesn't mean that someone else will. Having said that, Benchmade has definitely created a winner with the BM707 that I think will appeal to a lot of knife users - I would highly recommend this knife for every-day carry.

I've now carried this knife every day for over a year and can echo the other positive reviews. Some background: I used to carry a Spyderco Rescue and then a Spyderco Police. While I liked their serrated edges for some tasks (and might take the Police if I were to go hiking and wanted a bigger folder), overall I've decided I prefer a plain edge and I found them just too hefty for everyday carry for me. I then went on to a Kershaw Leek Black aluminum, which I liked, gifted to my dad, and got the fancier Kershaw G10. I carried the Leeks for over 2 years before sadly losing the G10 in a field. While a fan of the Speedsafe assisted opening, I decided to try a Benchmade having heard so many good things about them. I was pleased to find that I can open the 707 with the same speed and ease as the Leek after just a bit of practice. Previously, I'd not been very comfortable with prior "thumb stud" knives I'd tried compared to my thumb hole Spyderco's... however I now realize that was due to the former being cheap and not buttery smooth to open like my 707. While I still have good feelings about how sturdy the liner-lock was on my Kershaws, I still feel a fair bit more confident in the sturdiness of the Benchmade AXIS lock (to the point that if I got another assisted opening knife, I'd likely make it a Benchmade auto-AXIS).The only two minor gripes I have with this knife is that: 1) It's G10 scales are not quite as grippy as the G10 on my former Leek. 2) The AXIS stud wears out the fabric in my khaki's over time. For the latter, I've found iron-on patches on the inside of my pants re-enforce them sufficiently. However, I wish Benchmade made their axis studs smooth of one side and reversible so that you could make the clip side of the stud smooth and easier on your pants (probably a lot to ask on a non-custom knife).In conclusion: This is one of the best knives with a 3" blade <$200 out there.

The excellent previous review covers most of the finer points of this knife. So you know my perspective, my favorite edc knife (I have quite a few) is the Benchmade 940. You simply cannot find a more functional knife in its size/weight class. On those occasions when a little more discretion is required (smaller blade), the 707 Sequel is the ideal choice. It is a small good looking knife that is solidly built with ergonomics that will accomodate large hands. If it were any smaller, you couldn't get a good enough grip on the handle for any real cutting. Though I have not skinned a deer with it, I have no doubt that it would be up to the task...
