Love your review on the 940! So far I have three 940s and one 9400. At this time I also have two more on the way from Blade HQ. So far everyone of them works as advertised, and I plan to get even more within the next couple months which includes the 945 minis. I like collecting knifes, and the 940 has a great family with a lot of history when it comes to collecting!
I asked my wife for a 940 for Christmas she got me the jade blade HQ one. Holy crap I think I like this thing better than the original. I have not own an original but have handled them a few times. I really enjoy the action and the texture of the G10 is just the right amount of smoothness. I like the light carry weight compared to the aluminum scale version. Definitely 10/10.
Never had a 940 but always wanted to get one. I do like this varient but I really think I would go classic green aluminum if I was to get one. Great video brother 👍
We discussed on FB that mine came pretty crappy outta box. I tuned it up and fixed most of the problems, instead of selling or returning it I gave it to a good friend who's been wanting a 940 for a while
Entertaining and informative video! Would you say knife was in the video with the jade scales, black bald and it looked like it had the Omega symbol on it?
It’s definitely not for everyone but I have and will always love the 940 platform. This one is currently on loan to a friend of mine but if you want to check anything else out just let me know.
got a 940 after it being a grail knife of mine for the better part of a decade. when i finally got one, i was very disappointed for what is essentially a $200 knife. I really like how it feels and carries in the pocket, but the thing looked and felt like it was made on a friday. Recently saw the new m4 variant pop up and almost bought it but, what I've seen with my first 940 i was hesitant to say the least. went ahead and bought a PM2 in m4 and don't regret it.
benchmade's qc is still very hit or miss, about a year ago i bought a 945 and i literally had to go through 9 closed & sealed boxes to get one without garbage action, shoddy grind, off blade, or nicks & scratches on the aluminum. recently i ordered a 940-2 and the knife was pretty damn good, like i've said; hit or miss.
Awesome review and much appreciated thanks . I have great expectations for this particular knife and also my thoughts where similar I didn’t like the natural g10 so much but it grew on me pretty fast . I love this knife and it’s pretty strong . I love the balanced feel in my hand too .
I love it i realy like that jade g10, it's a shame i can not get it here, i know i could get one at blade hq but i have to pay duty tax wich is expensive, i have the 940/2001 you know that S90v titanium one and i think it is one of the best edc knifes maybe even the best. Cold steel and benchmade are my favorite brands.
Man my 940’is also around a Decade and been through Hell and like my mini Barrage still excellent.. I’m thinking as much as our Benchmades cost why can’t they include a deep carry clip also lol.. great Video
First off I love the Nathen Explosion thumb mail. Honestly man I love the worn in look of my old one so much that I don’t think I could bring myself to do it.
Doesn’t matter how long have used a knife if it sits in the drawer. There’s no way you can tell me that thing has been a user for 16 years of thing has not even been a user for one year. May be opening cardboard boxes if you exaggerate.
You are entitled to your opinion brother, with that being said I have videos of me throwing around 800-1,200 dollar knives, I am a true user and nothing is a safe queen.
Maybe, I’m really thinking about just returning the Ti ones once they are out of USPS limbo to be honest but if I don’t I would be willing to let them go. No idea what they are worth though since they are from the factory.
Flytanium because it has the original contours of the old school 940. I was going to send it to my buddy to have them laser engraved with some fancy filigree. They should have been here before the knife but Usps is so all over the place lately.
Yeah I know what you mean about USPS. I've got a 940 lost in limbo somewhere. Should have been delivered but still shows "in transit". Let me know if you're selling those jade ones after you get the ti setup you want. I got the ones from smkw.
Blade HQ just dropped some more of this version! I ordered it this morning. I can't wait to get it.
The ‘Knife Seizure’ is my favorite opening technique.. especially in crowded and/or confined spaces .
Love your review on the 940!

I wasnt sure when I got mine as it wasnt sharp. But after some fine tuning and also working the action it's now my favorite.
In my opinion this is the best looking 940 thus far. Great review dude 👊😁
Look up the 940BK-2003.
Well, nothing can beat the 940-1.

That's a great wife. Sounds like she has good taste

It’s a great knife brother and you can find users in the secondary market for under 100$ pretty easily.
So sweet of a piece.
Love the looks of this one.
Thanks for the upload.
Be safe.
Thank you brother

That’s awesome brother, I’m sure he will appreciate, love and use it for a long time.
Good review. I started carrying mine and it is working out nice.
Entertaining and informative video! Would you say knife was in the video with the jade scales, black bald and it looked like it had the Omega symbol on it?
I love mine! I rite dyed my scales red tho and got the mandalorian mythosaur engraved on it and I couldn’t be happier with it 😁
I love my 940. It is always in my pocket, and I use it for one thing or another at least once a day. Really thinking to pickup the jade M4.
This is a great, thorough vid Kyle. I need a 940 at some point. Thanks for the vid.
It’s definitely not for everyone but I have and will always love the 940 platform.

Definitely want one
Got mine last week. My first 940 and I love it.
Totally agree with you brother. Love mine and will stay with me always. Great vid 👍
Dude I would love to have that Shaman
benchmade's qc is still very hit or miss, about a year ago i bought a 945 and i literally had to go through 9 closed & sealed boxes to get one without garbage action, shoddy grind, off blade, or nicks & scratches on the aluminum.

normally i don't like natural g10 either, combined with a black blade & black hw it looks pretty cool though.
Wasn't expecting the attack on the table XD
Either did the table. 😂
Never been a fan of Jade G10 but iBooks good with the coated blade. Definitely a classic.
iBooks? 😂
This exclusive was my first 940-wouldnt even cut paper,took a long LONG time to get a good edge on it,(is my first m4,and it is a bear to sparpen!)
Yeah I just send anything above a 56 Rockwell out to get sharpened.
I love it i realy like that jade g10, it's a shame i can not get it here, i know i could get one at blade hq but i have to pay duty tax wich is expensive, i have the 940/2001 you know that S90v titanium one and i think it is one of the best edc knifes maybe even the best.

So you can call Benchmade and ask for a deep carry clip, they used to be free but now they are like 5 bucks which is still pretty reasonable.
Put the titanium scales on the old one, duh :P

Haha that's awesome

You wanna sell those jade scales?
Maybe, I’m really thinking about just returning the Ti ones once they are out of USPS limbo to be honest but if I don’t I would be willing to let them go. No idea what they are worth though since they are from the factory.
I'd give you 50 for them. What ti scales did you go with?
Flytanium because it has the original contours of the old school 940. I was going to send it to my buddy to have them laser engraved with some fancy filigree.

Badass
Thank you brother
Nope
As expected, WAY overpriced.
Competition and benchmade marketing arrogance keep other manufacturers busy
Two hundred for this is honestly a really fair price in my humble opinion.
