I overlooked the 940 for so many years. Finally grabbed a 940-2 at bass pro about 3 months ago as a last minute purchase and it was a very nice knife. It now has rockscale ti critter scales and lynch clip on it and I LOVE it. I see what the hype is about fully

[@johnagen3688]

Never intended to be a collector, not made of money and not a super fan of mini's, but, I absolutely love the 940 and just had to have this!!!!!!! And WOW!!!!!!!!!!! It exceeds,and went well, well beyond my expectations!!!!! So, so glad I am the proud owner of one!!!!!! Benchmade really nocked it out of the park on this one!!!!!!! Just wow!!!!!

[@johnagen3688]

Seeing that spyderco, is kinda like a turd in the punch bowl situation 😳🤔! 😆 🤣 😂!

[@BigRedEDC]

Mini is lookin good in the CF! Thanks for the look Zach!

[@zachstuff]

You’re Welcome! Thank you for checking it out!

[@johnagen3688]

Have a great safe weekend big red!!!!

[@mikejurnak0324]

They all look great. I never leave the house without my Mini Os in the 5th pocket

[@TopDog8762]

I have not been a big Osborne fan, I have a 940 in Aluminum scales its not my favorite. But I am warming up to the Mini's. I like the look of this and may just have to snag one.

[@zachstuff]

Okay 👍🏻I know it’s not for everyone, but seeing your open mind to keep considering new options is terrific!

[@jasoncole2608]

I recently bought the Osborne 945-2 w/carbon fiber handle. I have to say, upon watching another reviewer feature this knife, I was excited to purchase it. I have the 940 w/green anodized aluminum, as well, and prefer that over the 945-2. I find the handle a little on the small side (I usually prefer a longer handle because of my larger hands). However, the S90V and carbon fiber make this knife top-notch. Just wish I’d gone with the full size 940 w/carbon fiber handle. Maybe the 945-2 will grow on me.

[@hccif]

Looks awesome! Zach you got to bring back your top 5 carries for the month, I miss it

[@zachstuff]

Sounds good! Coming soon!

[@Seppiedog]

I will have one sometime, I like the green aluminum 940, now the one with a black blade and green aluminum is sweet. Thanks for sharing Zach

[@ck158]

Looks great like the blue post.

[@OuchyEDC]

Those gold class are always wild! I like the Osborne, but was out of my price range when I first found Benchmade.

[@ElCapAddict]

I can understand why you have carried the 940 for over 20 years (did realize it is now more than two decades old), and the blade tip design is very useful. I also wish Benchmade would've used the darker stonewash normally on the S90v of the 940=1. if I could change anything about the 940 it would be another blade grind or stock offering--either a hollow grind or a thinner blade stock thickness. Thanks for the video Zach.

[@Sleepy_spartan717]

There are sone very nice reblade options out for the 940. Not cheap by any means though. $300+ at the minimum.

[@yamsi12]

I’ve had the BHQ exclusive full size 940 with the jade g10 and M4 but sold it because I couldn’t warm up to it. I’ve been thinking about giving it another try but with the 940-1 since I love cf…..but the price is stopping me. I have xxl size hands so the 945s are out for me. Looks nice though. Always thought a lot of the mini knives are a solution looking for a problem. I always enjoy your videos Zach.

[@Steve0-]

Full size is a must for me

[@zachstuff]

My favorite Steve!!

[@johnagen3688]

Amen brother!

[@dwayneletterman3987]

Gonna have to get me an Osborn some day ! love the cf !

[@zachstuff]

Of course I would highly recommend one! Thanks Dwayne for checking it out!

[@chrishinkle5982]

Thanks for sharing bud!👊🏻One of my favorites from benchmade is the Osborne but I only have the full size in it

[@zachstuff]

You’re Welcome Chris! I would say on the mini models try and get one in hand at a dealer so you can see how it compares to the 940. Similar to how the Bugout and mini Bugout are. Have a good weekend!

[@tekhen-px9wl]

Patiently awaiting mine.

[@zachstuff]

That’s the longest wait…

[@johnagen3688]

[@unfi6798]

Hi Zac. Great set of Osborne mate plus excellent comparison knives too. Always see the Griptilian as the cousin of the Osborne. They're both the grail knife that hopefully be in the collection of users. Top vid cobber. Cheers from Christmas Island & Australia.

[@bigjim55able]

I've wanted a 940 since it was introduced but only the full-sized one. I need tires or I'd get one.

[@johnagen3688]

Now benchmade please do a full size 940 with green infused carbon fiber, purple accents, and a black coated magna cut blade and split arrow clip!!!!!!!! Please!!!!

[@johnagen3688]

Be safe, stay revd, stay amped, and have a great rest of your weekend! As always rock da fok on!

[@carmelotansengco4605]

Do they use the same size omega springs as the 940?

[@JacobPorsche-ig3ru]

Saw your video - bought one - love it!

[@zachstuff]

Very nice! Small and mighty. Enjoy your new 945!

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

Looks awesome! Great video Zach 👍

[@zachstuff]

Thank you! 🤙🏼

[@J_DuB27]

Love my 940-1. I just can't get my mits behind the minis.

[@zachstuff]

They do take time to love, but I always enjoy the 940’s!!

[@grimreaper6042]

I am a huge fan of the 940 and own a few of them this mini is sweet but a little small for me thanks for sharing Zach DSKFS

[@donc5220]

I love it Ive had 2 benchmades in CF and they were both Lemons though Sometimes i think we get 2nd stock up here in Canada hahaha

[@zachstuff]

We need to fix that asap!! Appreciate you checking them out Don!

[@barrybueler3356]

When are u gonna hook a brother up yo 😎very cool the only thing I’d change is the pocket clip is probably get a blacked out titanium MXG deep carry pocket clip 😊

[@Jr-Mz]

I like the look, not the price😢 love my other 945’s! Thanks Zach!✌️

[@zachstuff]

I understand!! Thanks JR! Got to keep the Osborne fans happy!

[@cheatobandito]

Great looking 940s Zach but I is poor

[@zachstuff]

The 940's are my lifetime favorite from Benchmade. Thanks Cheato! I will have to get one for a giveaway soon.

[@johnagen3688]

Is it just me, or is anyone else a tad bricked up?!!! Bahahaha 😆 🤣 😂

[@Salamando3D]

Love my 940-2. That murdered out one with the blue accents looks awesome! Kinda wish they'd stop pairing CF with the S90V, it looks kinda cheesy IMO. But I get it, they're both premium materials. Just buy two and swap scales 😅💸Thanks for showcasing these, Zach! 👊✌

[@leonardcampise8112]

No way $300. That’s a joke.

[@efromhb]

You know I love the 940/945 but this one is a pass for me. Maybe if they had done green standoffs or another color I'd consider it. The only CF version I have is the 1601. My current 945s are usually part of the EDC short list and I carry them often so I'll be waiting for the next iteration. Ahhhh that gold class is perty but out of my price range.

[@jesseadams45]

It baffles me how this wasn't named 945-1. It seems so obvious:)

[@zachstuff]

I know right??!!

[@lacyelliottoldmarinedad4388]

Slickem up it will be great.

[@zachstuff]

So smooth!!

[@jjonha707]

[@ct2368]

Kinda sad that you have to adjust a 200$ + knife right out of the box.

[@archiebunker3654]

$300+ 🤣 I know we're in the bideneconomy with 10% inflation, but please. 🙄
