Benchmade 940 EDC - Made in USA - Manual Open Folding Knife with Reverse Tanto Blade

R Hochhalter: It's a benchmade, really nothing more to say. If you've never owned a benchmade knife then it's about time that you did. I've owned just about every major brand on the market, but there's not much comparison when it comes to quality, comfort, and ease of use of a benchmade. This particular design has become my favorite EDC. Once you own a Benchmade, I guarantee you, you will not want to own another type of knife.

JonnyJonny: When I got my first Benchmade I never went back. They’ll last a lifetime, especially when you take advantage of their lifetime warranty. If it ever comes lose, you lose screws or even if you just want it back to factory sharpness. Just mail it in and they’ll tune it up and mail it back all for free. One of mine was run over by many cars and I found it in a pot hole after falling off my work truck. They replaced all the screws and washers, sharpened it and mailed back to me.
I lost that one after having it for 7 years so I bought a new one. The 940 is a classic of theirs and with the carbon fiber handle, It’s my favorite one.

Raphael: It's a authentic Benchmade 940 Osborne, It came in green contrary of what is said on the product title, but It seems to be correct in the object description. I am glad that the description was right but the title could be modified.

It's a great EDC knife, that every knife guy around the world should try

Electric Joe: It's a nice small, light day to day carry knife.
The handle is a nice shape and the flipping action works like a charm. The blade is sharp, but have stripes from the fabrication process which I find is not good looking (most people would probably not notice).
The blade also have a interesting shape that shows the manufacturer has put some thought into the design.
That being said the knife also have some cosmetic flaws that I would not expect on a knife in this price range. The most annoying is that the screws holding it all together are longer than they have to be, so you can see them sticking out on the inner liner.

All in all a nice day-to-day carry knife with some cosmetic flaws.

Asier: Llevo cuatro días con ella, es la primera vez que tengo una Benchmade, he oido maravillas de esta marca, he visto innumerables vídeos viendo el precio que tenía me decidí a comprarla y bueno, estas son mis primeras impresiones.
La parte buena es que las cachas de fibra de carbono son impresionantes... y ahí se acabó la parte buena.
1º Para el precio que tiene creo que deberían cuidar por ejemplo que la hoja esté del todo centrada entre las cachas, no es un fallo catastrófico pero sí un gran detalle.
2º tanto que se enorgullecen de la suavidad de sus mecanismos de apertura y cierre y que revisan uno por uno sus productos... pues el operario al que le tocó revisar esta debía estar con el café. porque está dura como una roca, el axis lock rasca como la caja de cambios de un panda. Le he tenido que echar aceite para que el mecanismo funcione decentemente.
3º El CPM S90V es un super acero que solo puede ser afilado (o se recomienda) por expertos o la propia casa, supuestamente viene afilado de fábrica (el operario seguía con el café). Tengo navajas compradas en mercadillo que cortan mejor que esta.
En breve voy a recibir otra Benchamade y haré una...

Ivan TrujilloIvan Trujillo: El producto casi Perfecto, afilado si, las cachas o el mango precioso, al igual que el color de la navaja.

Esta nuevecita y un poco dura al momento del despliegue de la navaja, así como para guardarla, esta algo duro, quizá con el uso afloje un poco o al menos eso espero. El pivote para realizar el despliegue de la navaja es pequeño y al menos ahorita no ayuda mucho y se reciente en la punta del dedo, más aún cuando intento aflojarla un poco.

Lo único malo es el sistema de envío, desde Estados Unidos a través de FedEx pésimo servicio, no hablan, no avisan, no dejan recados, ni avisos de visita, incluso estando en casa aparecen avisos de intento de entrega fallido, pésimo. Parece que no van realmente. Ojalá se pudiera elegir la empresa para el envío de productos cuando no se puede directamente con Amazon.

Falta únicamente un clip de guarda profundo o completo no se encuentra en Amazon Mexico, y. Desde Amazon EU, no se hacen envíos a Mexico, aunque parece que si de Etsy e eBay.

mike h.: .....10-2-13...the review below was written over a year ago and i just want to add an update. i like my knives for many reasons, i like this knife for most of them. after a year it's become my daily carry knife and i think will stay that way until something new comes out to replace it, i can't imagine it now, but who knows? when i'm in the woods or just doing something that i know will require a larger/stronger blade, i take the bigger blade along with the 940. it's just become a part of my daily living. knife people know what i mean, when you find that special blade you stick with it.

i purchased a chris reeve small sebenza about 6 months ago and while it's a work of art and solid utility knife at the same time, i like the 940 better as a carry knife. i have 8 benchmades now and they are the cream of the american made pocket knife industry in my opinion. if you can do better for under $200.00 i don't know how. i'm getting another one soon and just storing it until the day i can't find this one or it gets ripped off. i like it that much. i could have bought three 940's for what i paid for the sebenza.

.....ok, end of the update...enjoy what you carry

JColez: Ok, first things first. This is a helluva neat knife and I give it 5 stars. It has a cool hoops that it jumps through (locking mechanism, blade steel design, materials, fit and finish). I expected to see and feel differences in any knife over $100. And, I do with the 940. I really like this knife (a lot); it's unique in several ways, and that is what I paid for. So, I have found the following:

Love:
Unique design - I've never played as much with a knife after getting it - ever..
Blade shape - reverse tanto, and S30V steel - awesome, awesome.. and awesome.
Solid feel; perfect EDC weight; smooth in the pocket and doesn't hang up when pulling it out.
Super, silky and fluid open/close mechanics (thumbstuds are not needed to deploy the blade with a touch of practice with the Axis lock)
Blade shape is long and thick, but, not tall, for a pocket folding knife; a stealthy design.
A great marriage in a heavy duty blade, with a EDC handle (makes for a great EDC, tactical, utility knife).
That, this knife grows on you, .. .and quickly.
Best described as an EDC knife on steroids..
Purple titanium back-spacer gives the knife some personality.
That, this is...
