Pros

  • Thing is a tank.
  • Hell yeah man, the 940 is the only knife I have more than one copy of. My favorite knife design since I started collecting about a decade ago.
  • 940 is my all time favorite knife. I agree it's just perfect, people will say it's not slicey enough but it's never not been able to cut something I needed it too so it's slicey enough for me.
  • I've heard from a couple of people over at r/prybar that these 940s are prying machines. Reply: More than a bit I'd say
  • In a moment of weakness I pulled the trigger on yet another 940. Probably the best grind on one I've seen yet.

Cons

  • Too bad the price ain’t “balanced”. Leans a bit towards the overpriced side.
  • The 940 today
  • Is the blade more slicey than a 940? Please tell me it's more slicey than a 940!
  • My buddy has a 940, almost bought it off him but didn’t like how thin it felt in my hand.
  • The 940 carries great, but it’s thick behind the edge and tricky to sharpen.

Only used a day or so and this thing is literally the perfect size for an edc. Never had anything that shines like this thing. ... Anyhow I'm super impressed with my recent purchase and just wanted to boast on it. They are indeed worth the money in every single way.

I do love a 940, one of the few Benchmades I've hung on to.
