Review: I've found my forever EDC knife. - This knife is a stunning work of art and science, and the fit and finish is on par with what Benchmade usually releases as a "Gold Class" knife for twice the price. You can see the quality that Benchmade puts into their products. The AXIS-lock system is buttery smooth after working it in a bit, and the blade has a rock solid lock-up. The carbon fiber scales are almost holographic, in that they change appearance depending on your viewing angle - very cool! The blade is S90V, which should take on a keenness, and hold an edge, as good as (or better than) anything else out there. The blade has a beautiful stonewashed finish that looks great with the carbon fiber - better IMO than a regular stainless finish would look, and it showcases the fine grain of the (very carbide-heavy) steel along the edges. This blade is everything that I look for in an EDC. For the size, this is easily the lightest knife I've ever encountered. Ultra-lightweight, travels well, pocket clip allows for a reasonably deep pocket carry, and blade length is legal in my state. It looks and feels pretty durable, the open back design makes it a breeze to clean, and it's classy enough that this knife straddles the "gentleman's knife" category. Those who are knowledgable about knives and/or read on any of the knife forums will understand what I mean when I say that this is a perfectly good choice for a "grail knife." My one gripe follows: This knife comes in a standard Benchmade blue box, upon which is printed "Handle with care. Benchmade knives are packaged extremely sharp." This was not the case for me, as the knife arrived with an edge somewhere between a butter knife and an old Buck 110 that I haven't sharpened in a couple years. I've read that this is a common complaint with Benchmade knives, so I don't feel that I got a "bad one" or anything... just nitpicking, I suppose, and I'm entitled for the price of admission! Having said all that, I do enjoy sharpening knives, and can't wait until my new sharpening supplies arrive so that I can find out just how tough it is to sharpen S90V by hand. :O I could always send it to Benchmade to take advantage of their lifetime sharpening service, but I don't want to let it out of my sight! All in all, I'm very pleased with this knife and fully expect it to provide decades, if not a lifetime, of dependable service. I'll post a follow-up after I've sharpened the S90V blade freehand... from what I've read, it's a PITA to sharpen.
Review: This is the knife to own !! - This is the perfect knife ! (for me) I have been wanting this for a while now. I own the original 940 Green osborne and multiple flavors of the Spyderco Para 3s. Overall they all are great knives. Why I gravitated towards this 940-1 are the following. - Doesnt jack up my pockets - Original spoon pocket clip has perfect retention and easily pulled in and out of the pockets - Love the carbon fiber slabs - perfect ratio of traction and grip, doesnt get cold like the aluminum scales - Aesthetically its a beautiful knife from the materials to blade grind and stone washed s90v steel - Lightweight, rides in the pocket really well, too damn good actually (very small foot print) - I work in the office and field so it transitions well in both environment, truly made for EDC purposes - With the smooth carbon fiber scale it is easy to clean along with the open back design, whereas on my G10 pm3 it will atract alot of dead skin, little more difficult to clean but not impossible, my original osborne does not have a flow through design so debris will start collecting inside - Very fidgety knife, i cant stop playing with it LOL Con: Only con would be the pricing, my fit and finish was ok especially for the price.. I had to tweak it a little bit to get good blade centering. The action is good after I applied some knife pivot lube, and loctite so keep that perfect tension. I rotate mostly between this and the Bugout with Rogue Bladework carbon fiber scales, my PM3's gets weekend pocket time. My original 940 Osborne is now a nightstand knife UPDATE** omega spring broke...now sending it back to benchmade; they wont send out replacements UPDATE** 10/19/2021 Still loving this 940-1 ! s90v is amazing while my collection grows this is my one all be all knife ! --

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How much abuse have you put it through (without breaking it)?**
A: Haven’t necessarily beat on it super rough like wood chopping but keep it as my EDC. For about 4 months of running Boy Scouts down in Key West while working on a sailing ship it got put through its paces. Salt water, salty air, etc all while they used it for cutting fishing lines, ropes, killing fish on a steel deck, cutting squid and other bait, etc daily (don’t worry they cleaned it between uses haha)
While knife got slightly dull after this rough daily use for months and a few springs exhibited light surface rust (from salt water use) the knife still performed and held up well. The Blade never got rusted out or chipped. Once I got home to Texas I shipped it back to Benchmade and they installed new hardware, sharpened the blade, and basically revamped the knife as part of their Lifetime Warranty.
The Aluminum scales on the knife take beats and blows very well and never corroded; They’re durable and sturdy as heck. The knife itself never got loose or wobbly over the 2-3 years I’ve owned it, still opens like its new. Still my daily EDC knife with an amazing lifetime warranty and always amazing customer service from Benchmade. Wouldn’t hesitate to say this model the 940 is one of Benchmades longest running models and their best designs in my opinion.
Just remember if you get it with a serrated edge Benchmade can’t sharpen them, just the flat part. I opted for the smooth Blade and it cuts like butter and just keeps working. Cut your sandwich, turn a screw, adjust a gun sight, cut rope, cut lines, shave wood, fight baddies, defense knife, etc this knife does it all for me so far. :)

**Q: is the knife easy to take apart and clean**
A: I dont know why you would disassemble it, other than a grind in the pivot or something, but no they are fairly simple to take apart and rescale or clean. Hardest part for me is getting the pivot back in at times, but leaving a bit through the pivot hole will not only assist in the pivot, but also will keep the washers and blade in place

**Q: Do the body screws make direct contact with the aluminum scales, or screw into threaded steel inserts?**
A: Directly into threaded holes in the aluminum scales.  No steel inserts.

**Q: why can’t this item be shipped to NY all of a sudden? Only recently started showing that message. It's not assisted and it's not a flipper...**
A: It is consider a flipper because you can swing the blade open by centrifugal force through axis lock or manipulation of the knife thumb stud. I would guess it is the above, blade length, or some new restrictive law though. May be an Amazon policy also? Maybe check with another dealer source to see if the restriction is the same? Good luck

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best EDC but not for Hard Use!
*by C***E on February 9, 2015*

Other reviewers have described this knife as being the best EDC knife. I would agree with a caveat or two! Just depends on what you are looking for? I don't believe I would say this knife is the optimal knife for self defense or a "hard use" knife. The blade does not seem like one great for prying due to its small height. The butt end of the handle does not appear to be conducive for hammering! Though, I'm not a self defense expert this is probably not the first knife to choose but it is a knife and will cut. The knife is without question worth the money if you are looking for extremely light, low pocket presence, but still substantial blade/cutting surface. I feel this knife also looks classy and not scary when bringing it out of your pocket and opening. There is no flipper. You have to use thumb studs to open. My only complaint about this knife is I wish it had a little thumb groove in the carbon fiber to allow access to the thumbstud at more of an angle. It's a minor gripe as it doesn't take much to get used to but would have been nice. I use and semi-collect knives. I like getting knives of different blade steels/handle materials and tend to lean more toward the better versions of production knives. This is my first Benchmade and first S90V blade steel. My knife came hair shaving sharp which from reviews is not always the case. I lean more toward knife makers that offer sharpening services as I'm awful at it myself. Benchmade does offer this service and is well known for good customer service. ZT is another good brand and both offer relatively cheap blade replacement also. One other item to note is that i have a knife with aluminum handles and it is very slick. I believe the carbon fiber even with no true texture or machining in the handle grips better than aluminum handles. I mention this because I believe the regular 940 has aluminum handles. Very glad I purchased this knife. If your'e looking for EDC or a knife to use in any situation that is not necessary "hard use" then I would completely recommend the 940-1.
