I don't think they will ever discontinue the 940, or the griptilian lines. 21 years and still going strong. I will be buying my first one next month and it will be a G10.

I just received this BM 940 knife today 05/17/2019 and it is absolutely beautiful with the green aluminum scales and purple back spacer with the fantastic axis lock deployment is very smooth and it is extremely razor sharp this is my 3rd BM and not my last. :-)

If I get the G-10 version, it'll be the Blue/Black exclusive from knifeworks, because it's aesthetically pleasing to me more than the plain black. I'm not really into numbered knives because I like to use them. I also just bought a Contego and I can't keep it out of my pocket.

Interesting to me (casual interest in pocket-knives) how some manyfacturs still insist on having a recassa on the heel of their blades (e.g. most Spyderco's). Which gets in the way of sharpening and using the entire cutting edge if desired. Benchmade is not one of them. Hope they never stray from this "approach" to blade design. I don't yet own a Benchmade...but plan to try the 940 and a Bugout -3 or -4...if they don't ever relases a "standard model" wit Alu/S30V...or S35V. Looks like a knife ...both the 840's and the Bugouts....would make great EDC knives because of it's body shape/sizes. Possibly a 'forget it's there' knife.

I don't know man, I think the 940 is going to be going on long after I die. It's essentially Benchmade's second flagship blade next to their Bali-songs. Not that the blades you have are not going to go up in value, they certainly will, but I wouldn't anticipate them discontinuing the 940 line any time soon. Great video btw!

I hear this a lot about BM knives and there really needs to be a true comparison. A lot of folks say the best comparison blade from Spyderco to the original 940 is the PM-2, which is fair except that the original 940 is anodized aluminum scales compared to G10 on the PM-2. Well now we have the 940-2 which levels the playing field a bit and brings that comparison a little closer. But the 940-2 is $170 and the PM-2 is $120-$130. Why the price difference? A. 100% of BM's knives are made in USA but only some models of Spyderco's lineup are. Because of that Spyderco can offer cheaper knives (even their U.S. made blades) because they're not losing as much in production costs. B. BM's customer service is far superior to Spyderco's. Not just with the free clips and stuff, but overall willingness to go above and beyond. For example, I had a 940-121 at one point that I purchased from eBay. There were a couple of small scuffs on the scales which only annoyed me because this was a Gold Class. I called BM about it, they said they haven't produced the 940-121 for several years and weren't sure they had the parts. Called me back a day later said they found 1 scale, emailed me an overnight shipping label, I sent the knife in, they replaced the scale, shipped it back to me. Didn't charge me a cent. Keep in mind I didn't buy this knife direct from BM it was on secondary market. So to me the 100% U.S.-made and amazing customer service justifies and additional $30-40 per knife IMO.

@jhfrichman2112 8 жыл бұрын
+Seth Davis that is all true. And great points. I never use the LifeSharp program myself but I love that it's there and will ALWAYS stand behind an all-American brand. But considering the price difference when you "build your own knife" off of benchmade's site you can save around 25$ just dropping to a "lower steel." I'm waiting for the 940s to drop into the "build your own knife" section. People will be going nuts. lol I would love customs 940s from Benchmade which multiple steel options.
@kd7gxfsmd
@kd7gxfsmd 8 жыл бұрын
I guess that's fair, it would be pretty rad if you had basically 100% control of the materials and styles they offered. Going off what you mentioned, you go to "customize your 940" and if you pick G10 scales, you only get a choice of S30V satin blades. But for that matter I think they should offer 154CM, S30V, S90V, their salt water steels, everything. I'd imagine that'd be quite an undertaking.

Hey guys, as always, love your reviews and your synergy. Y'all are quite synergistic :) You brought up some thoughts about purchasing different versions of the 940, and for us knife purchasing noobs, there is a lot of interest in just how one can go about buying used knives. Would you consider doing a video about buying used knives? Many experienced collectors take for granted their knowledge of how to buy, but novice collectors have a very limited understanding. We think of eBay or maybe Craigslist. How do you buy or trade knives? Assuming most of us don't have KZbin channels, how should we acquire knives? What are our options and best practices (eBay, forums, trades)? I would love to hear your thoughts. Hope that all made sense :)

if you like the worn appearance get the aluminum. It doesn't scratch so much as it "scuffs"

Hey Frankie N Bird, Today I picked up a crkt Tighe Tac two tanto and when I got home my Benchmade 940 was out on the counter, so, obviously I did a mini comparison, I was wondering if you guys have ever done a side-by-side comp. Of these two GREAT KNIVES? Is the Tighe tac two tanto a 940 killer?

Would have been nice to see it in m390 or 20cv given the price. A 20cv knifeworks model goes for only like $15 more and it's also g10. Only problem with it is the color.

+BirdShot IV I thought they had competitive prices too until I found a local dealer. Bought axis 300's for 120 each. Crooked rivers for 155. And more.. I'm not trying to sell you knives(I'm not a dealer and wouldnt get anything out of it except good karma) I just wanted to share how you can score better deals when you work with a dealer who will give you better deals than he can advertize online. Before you buy your next benchmade it might be worth asking me what I can get it for.
