benchmade 940-2 vs Buck Sprint Select Liner Lock

It is a ball bearing pivot system on a buck knife made in the USA. It's just a fun little knife with some excellent action to it. Let's have a look at...

Benchmade 940 in S90V and carbon fiber. My dad's gift to me for getting through highschool. Take that that thing everywhere, only had to sharpen it once.

O.G all failed this knife has great steel and the blade sharpness has some serious endurance! This thing easily competes with my 100+ dollar knives.

TLDR: It feels great, I LOVE the weight and looks of carbon fiber but doesn't seem like its a good value. I'm not a knife enthusiast or a collector, but I wanted something I could carry and forget its in my pocket for everyday tasks. I like premium products like carbon fiber and the idea behind S90v being a steel that keeps its "working edge" for longer periods of time. Overall I can't say i'm crazy about the product for the price

I want to like this knife, but honestly it just lacks heft. The frame is light and weak and it flexes in your hand while working. Also the frame tapers at the back end and it is just not a comfortable knife to hold. The pocket clip is not reversible and is also too small for a knife of this size

This is no big deal because benchmade stands by their products, but now I have to send it back because I paid too much for these issues to exist. Really do love the fit and finish of the carbon fiber scales though. The light weight of such a nice sized knife is incredible as well. It feels like I am carrying my much smaller BM Sequel

Not a bad knife, blade quality seems good, but mine required some tightening of the pivot screw for the blade so it centered up inside the handle while closed. I have small hands, but I still felt like I couldn’t get quite enough purchase on the grip. Overall not a terrible knife for the money, but nothing to get excited about. I feel like Buck missed the mark here, and could’ve made some tweaks to make it really great

Hope this helps ease another’s frustration. My ordeal nearly gave me a stroke before figuring it out.

Like many other knives in Buck's stable, the Sprint Series has two different tiers, Select for the budget-conscious, and Pro for those who want the ab...

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

It's not extremely heavy three ounces. You know you can't beat it. It's three ounces um handle thickness, it's not very thick under half an inch 0.48,...
