benchmade 940-2 vs CIVIVI Elementum

Spyderco have just have that there's something special about this particular knife above and beyond. Maybe some of the other ones - and I don't know f...

So on the good side, start with very nice size. It's a relatively compact knife here. We are coming in blade length-wise under 3 inches, uncontroversi...

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.

The plunger is milled down less than a 1/16 inch this will fail before a liner lock would. Civivi knives are all show and no go. If you want a nice Chinese knife at a cheap price Petrified Fish is a better deal. Civivi - WE knives are over priced

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

The Elementum comes in D2, CPM S35VN, a few 20 CV models, and a few stainless steel models, as well as some other blade materials. But pretty much if ...

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

This is a great option, right? And it's a hundred percent worth the money you're going to pay for it. Me personally, I would go with the G10 version b...

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

The forged carbon fiber are "just" scales on the side of what is the generic frame for this design, but they do seem to make quite a big difference in making the knife feel quite a bit lighter than the plastic or metal versions.
