benchmade 940-2 vs Gerber Propel Downrange Automatic Knife

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 I am quite far away from home. But it's also part of the reason why I was able to get this because interstate shipping or switchblades is illegal a...

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.

oil helped a little but it just needed some usage before it became easier to actuate. The second reason is when you use the safety to lock it closed it still opens about a forth of an inch from the hilt, enough to expose the point and blade. after six months i have not had any problems with the blade opening on its own however it was a concern when I first received the knife. In conclusion it has great features, high durability and a couple minor drawbacks but over all is a great knife

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 love seeing that on these plates and that a good price point as well. I love to see that now this is gon na come with a fantastic relief edge. Hopef...

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 don't like S30V as I find it chips easily cutting at high tension regardless of how long it stays sharp.If this knife was in the fifties range I would give it 4-stars because it is reliable,has a sturdy lock,American-made(rare for Gerber these days),has a pretty decent grip in your hand.Yet there's things to point out even more so about this knife because of it's price tag because there's no justification for it.

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

That's what they look like on this side. The actual blade is a black oxide coating for corrosion resistance. And moving back to the handles, it is G10...

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

I don't know we could potentially hit it for the weight, which is four point, seven ounces, but that's really not bad at all. Considering what you get...
