benchmade 940-2 vs CRKT M16 01ks

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...

This has chipped my thumbnail several times because of the amount of pressure required. Also, this can cause the blade to come flying into the closed position and has sliced my thumb a few times as your thumb is naturally in the way on a thumb lock. For a knife this size, one handed open and close is an expectation, but I just can't safely do it with this one. The frame lock is just too tight and the metal too thick for this sized blade

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.

Really light weight, very sharp and due to the light duty this gets the edge holds up longer on my case. (usually cutting boxes and zip ties) the lock is a bit of a task due to my hand size to the knife size ratio. I use one hand to close very carefully because my thumb is usually in the way while opening the lock and using my index to flip the blade. All in all a solid light weight knife for light duty

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

It’s of good quality, holds up to edc, it’s a nice thin profile, lightweight knife. I carry it much more often than my Benchmade Infidel, which is a much pricier, larger knife.

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

I had this for a week before writing the review. It is a decent weight, slim- fits well in pocket, good balance, and price was good..

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

The handle is extremely lightweight. However, I anticipated a quick deploy, but the knob on the back of the knife opens it only as fast as your fingers can move and you still need to use the side knobs to open it fully. It’s truly a bear to close as well. I have to use my other hand to depress the arm from the inside

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

THIS IS THE SECOND BLACK HANDLED KNIFE I HAVE PURCHASED - AND I WILL PROBABLY PURCHASE MORE - AS I INTEND TO GIFT THESE TO MY NEPHEWS & GRANDNEPHEWS UPON THEIR GRADUATIONS AS LEGACY PIECES. THIS IS MY DAILY CARRY KNIFE. IT IS LIGHTWEIGHT, DURABLE, AND HOLDS ITS EDGE NICELY. IT IS A VERY VERSATILE BLADE AND ITS ERGONOMICS MAKES IT AN IDEAL, SINGLE-HANDLED DRAW AND LOCK KNIFE
