benchmade 940-2 vs Spyderco Slysz Bowie

Verdict

The Benchmade 940-2 receives mixed reviews, with some praising its design and quality while others criticize its quality control and value. Many users appreciate its ambidextrous design and consider it an EDC classic. Some have had positive experiences with customizations, such as a re-bladed M390 version or custom handles. However, some users have received knives with wear or defects. Overall, the knife is frequently described as a good every day carry option, especially for states with blade length restrictions.

Verdict

The Spyderco Slysz Bowie is a highly praised knife with excellent fit and finish, simple construction, and a strong lock. It is a great EDC option and has a perfect blade size for most uses. While it may be slightly overpriced, many reviewers still highly recommend it. Some users have experienced issues with the pocket clip and lock-bar cutout catching, but overall, the knife is well-built and durable. The blade is razor sharp straight out of the box and the handle is thin and comfortable to hold. It is a favorite among Spyderco fans and is worth considering for those in the market for a new EDC knife.
