Opinel No. 12 vs benchmade 940-2

The blade came sharp, but as a professional sharpener, I made it sharper up to 10,000 grit utilizing a Chocera stone. The blade length is more like a #10 Opinel - which is fine for me. The locking mechanism works well - even better than wood handle Opinels which opens with a bit more resistance. The lanyard works well

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...

Definitely NOT an Every Day Carry. Weight 5.3 oz, length 6", no clip. I am putting it with my camping gear

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.

You know just the normal one and save yourself like 30 bucks, so not impressed. I will have links in description below over to Amazon for these. If yo...

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

It's a big knife and a little unwieldly. I tried batoning it for some kindling. It'll do in a pinch but I think for processing wood I'd rather use an axe or a fixed blade knife.

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

If you ask me all right so now we got all those chunks there. So now what I want to do is just take them all off. Take them all off, got ta, make arro...

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 have no problem with that, but a knife. This way you can see. It's pretty big, and this sticks out the end here and my hand is all palm no fingers a...

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