benchmade 940-2 vs Kershaw E-Train CQC-6T Emerson Trainer 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...

36 ounces, so now that i've talked a little bit about the blade, let's get into what i'm going to be changing now, the client has sent this to me he's...

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.

This trainer is sturdy, well built, and attention is paid to a lot of the details that are missed on a lot of cheaper trainers. Everything operates smoothly, and all of the edges that might catch during training are rounded (this is not the case with cheaper trainers).

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

) At the very least, the clip side needs to be anodized blue if they're going to stick with the one-piece metal design, but grips on both sides and a thinner liner on the clip side would be better.

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

You know you're trying to mimic that stress method by drawing this out quickly and getting it into action now. The reason why i want to review this kn...

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

The only complaint I have with the Kershaw Emerson knives is that the scale on handle is a bit smooth and I felt like I wanted better grip while drawing. I fixed this by filing in a few ridges where my thumb contacts the knife while drawing out of my pocket.

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

and this kershaw one runs 25$. It's a little heavy but I think the added weight will only benefit training.
