Benchmade controversy explained (2019) kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pJ5mmcKjlqivoI0.html

Fellow defender here (1995-2007). I also carry a 940. Thanks for the video.

Thanks for the review and thank you for your service.

I recently upgraded to the 940-1 carbon fiber with the S90V, i believe it’s around 2.4 ounces but seems weird how sturdy it is, loving it ❤

Love my 940, I use it more then my Bugout and Para 2.

benchmade will send you a free deep carry clip for that 940, just give them a call. Thank you for your service as well

Great video. Thank you for your service.

Thank you for your service I agree with you I’ve carried at 9:40 for five years six years it is an invaluable tool to have on you at all times

You have an excellent collection of knifes)))))

With that background of experience I have to support your channel brother

Very good review!

Great vid. Still waiting to see what you replaced the 940 with. Put that vid up man. I am sure lots of us want to see. 👍

Just bought an Osborne about a week ago, immediately after carrying it for a day I ordered a deep carry clip from Benchmade, I don't mind it too much, I just don't want it sticking up where it can get hit or snagged while at work, gonna wait and get a few more Benchmades later on like the Bailout, Bugout, and if I can find one a Grizzly Ridge, if not the wood grain handle version will do

940 is perhaps best pocket knife ever made.

How do you get the 940 so be so buttery smooth when the axis lock is held down. I just bought one and its stiff i dont know what to do. any tips????

The Achilles Heel for these are the weak omega springs. Mine had to go back to BM twice in two years.

Have you used it for .hunting? How does it work with skinning?

Got a bonus recently and blew it on Benchmade knives. An original 940 Osborn and the exclusive from Blade HQ, deep pocket clips, The Infidel, and the Bush crafter 162. I sleep with some of them ❤

What’s your take on the full size 940 vs the 945 or bugout mini? I am AF as well, will be everyday uniform carry for me. Been carrying the delica 4 on my belt since 2011.

You can get some aluminum scales from AWT for the bugout. It makes the knife feel ten times better in my opinion.

Have you thought about getting flytanium handles for your bugout??

What did you replace it with ???

I use my 940 for work and hard task then I carry my PM2 when out and about I love both of them used them both for work and everyday task but something about the 940 makes it a work horse

I need to see the update on this

I've got an original 940 like yours but check out the auto 940. It's really sweet!!

If i lived deep in the woods i would carry a sebenza. Ease of sharpening and no broken springs. Otherwise it's a 940. My favorite knife is the Glock 78/81. Wish Glock made pocket knives..

Can u use the osborn clip on the bugout i like the clip on the osborne

What would you recommend for fishing, cooking, EDC? BM Osborne, BM Bugout, BM Griptilian or Spyderco Delica?

Design and ergo’s of the 940 are great. At least that’s my opinion. Bladeshape, handle, used materials etc. make it a really fantastic EDC. Only problem is that they must have monkeys working in the production lines. Never had so much issues with a knife. 25 euro Ganzo’s are better built than this so called “quality” product. First one I got I send back to the dealer in five minutes. Quality control is a joke at BM. Second one I got has been in use for a bit more than two months. And back to the dealer, blade was already off centered. It got bladeplay, which kept on coming back after tightening the pivot, spring broke, impossible to disassemble because of already stripped screws and to much locktite …… So maybe I wil get it back fixed, in a month or two. The dealer is ok. But BM is should be named BS. Maybe they dump the faulty knives in Europe? They don’t answer to emails from their clients there anyway.

what will be your 2022 EDC knife?

Good video. Still recommend Esee?

Did any of your omega springs ever break?

Great video. I have a custom mini crooked river and a black 940 and I take the 940 every time. I’ve used it for hunting, cooking, travel, opening packages, cleaning horse shoes, cutting bails of hay and even stabbed and killed/stabbed a pesky rock chuck with it. It will be in my pocket at most times

It's axis lock. Not access lock. It's unbelievable how many people call it that.

You aren't going to notice "ounces" in your pocket, when you need the tool. I carry a Buck 110 everyday, and don't even notice the weight.

I’m so close to getting this knife that $240 price tag is steep tho I carry a buck 110 and that’s an $80 knife and I think that’s a lot for a knife although I know benchmade is of supreme quality and will last a lifetime also I’ve heard very good things about this particular model

Does it rust?

Thinking about buying this as my first real carry knife. It's good steel, a good shape, good weight, all that. My only major complaint is I think the shade of green on the handles is nasty looking. I like green, just not that shade. I'd probably like it more if the blade was black. Is there any other handle colors anyone is aware of?

4:55 Impossible. The Triage is designed as a multi-tool that can pry in a rescue situation, especially the blunt tip version, if you make it like the 940 you lose that capability.

Why do people call the axis lock, an access lock? Is it like cadilladic converter and foilage?😂 Like singing bathroom on the right, instead of bad moon on the rise?

Benchmade 940 so thick behinde the eddge like a screwdriver 😂

The clip is the only con for me. Way too stiff.

I care about your face!
