The choil should have absolutely been made a semi circle like on the original smock custom so you can comfortably put your index finger there. I took a dremel to mine the second day I had it and made mine quite usable. No complaints now. Love it.

The spydeerco is a much better looking knife than the fugly yet good benchmade. The Manix is a great knife, better than both shown, but you will miss the smock.

I recently picked up another one and I like it more with titanium scales and the second detent ball removed.

Ugh I wish Benchmade would make a 940 in a top flipper like this

I hope you enjoy it! This series of videos wasn’t meant to talk people out of buying knives. It was more to let people know my thought process on why I don’t keep certain knives in my permanent collection since the information might be useful when buying. The Smock was actually a nice knife overall; it just didn’t fit my carry and use philosophy enough.

Benchmade 940-1 is my all time favorite EDC production made knife.
@TripleEEDC5 жыл бұрын
It’s one of mine as well but I have to admit I like the Smoky Moutan Knifeworks Exclusive of the 940 just a little bit more. If you haven’t seen it, you should check it out.

I strongly lean towards agreement on that, however I would just about give an organ for a rerun, and a chance at that smkw exclusive 940! !!!
@johnagen36882 жыл бұрын
I sure wish they would do a rerelease or rerun of that smkw exclusive 940, I would bet they would sell out or be hard to keep in stock!!!!!! I would love one!!!! I think that would possibly be my favorite benchmade!

Question ; Has that blade ever come open inside your pocket ?? It looks like that button lock is really easy to push open .... 👍🖖
@TripleEEDC Жыл бұрын
No. There is an extra detent to prevent that from happening. However, even if you remove it (which I have on my newer one) it still doesn’t come open.

@@TripleEEDC Thanks for the quick response 👍 I've had a button lock open in my pocket before without me knowing and I jammed my hand in my pocket looking for my pencil and if wasn't a pretty site , especially because i keep my blades razor sharp , I'm cringing just thinking about it ....👍🖖

Good idea, trade it while it's in demand and supply is low. Thanks for the video.

Yeah. It’s a good deal, although smooth g10 isn’t my personal preference. Still, it’s a great knife to buy if you plan to get micarta replacement scales. I even saw some titanium scales that might be interesting.
@tallica4life814 жыл бұрын
Triple E EDC I already ordered micarta scales from Rcbladeworks.com literally right after I purchased it.

Blake Petersen they ran out in the first production run. Another production run should be coming within the next few weeks and should be available at all major retailers. I know you can preorder with Knifejoy right now.
