Got delivery of a 940-2 last August 19, 2023 and I love it. I'm normally into either tactical knives or hard use outdoor folders. My 940 has become my favorite carry knife. I love it so much I'm thinking of getting another 940.

The 940-1 is the carbon fiber version with the S90V blade. The original aluminum scales with the purple titanium backspacer is just called the 940.

[johnagen]

Yes that is the best Benchmade knife ever made!!

[yonallb]

Gotta go with the aluminum scales, I love the feel of the OG. Both are perfectly good knives, obviously.

[trevorthomas]

You gotta buy the original Benchmade 940 Osborne with the aluminum handles. it's the best configuration. The Benchmade 940 Osborne is 100% a gentleman's knife that demands attention and respect.

I’m 72 and always had pocket knives and the Benchmade 940 is the best knife I’ve ever had

[utubetjc]

I bought the 940-1 and like this configuration the most!

[tonymaciel]

Nothing like a 940! I sold mine a long time ago & regret it till this day. So I just ordered another one. Gave up on Benchmade a long time ago. But not on the 940. Probly my favorite folder of all time. The green aluminum scale is my favorite one. Can’t wait to have it back in my pocket.

I have carried in original aluminum 940 40 years just pocket food I just throw it in my pocket with change your keys to have just in case at work. I consider it my sharpened pryba. I prefer the solid back because when you just throw it in your pocket nothing can get stuck in if

[DrDennis]

Yes it is. Bought one about a month ago and never batted an eye over the price!

[mattconklin]

The only thing I'm doing with my new 940 is trade out for a deep carry clip

[mickjacobs]

Benchmade has an excellent warranty service and it’s for life. I would contact them about the handle scale issue.

[EastTexasBallistics]

I’ll save everyone a lot of time. It IS the best Benchmade ever PERIOD.

[rrydinhigh]

GOOD review, bro. Thanks for sharing.

[spydiho]

I got the 940 aluminum scales imo its the best 940 made i love it. You got the numbers wrong, the aluminum scales with purple back spacer is the 940, not 940-1. And the aluminum scales are extremely grippy almost a rubbery feeling, wet or not. G10 is compressed paper, it will crack under certain conditions, although unlikely.

[woodentulikeno]

There you have an excellent knife a superb review and some good-looking dogs everything you need in a great YouTube video

[michaelcariello]

Would love to see a black blade with gray micarta scales

[daver]

I have a 940 with natural G10. I find the handles slippery. I carry my mini presidio much more often due to this. Feels much better in the hand.

[deadvikingtrolls]

It's a classic but anymore, eh. There's a good reason handle scales fill the hand more these days, the 940 feels a bit like a stick in the hand. By in the hand I mean sitting in my center knuckles meaning extensive cutting comes with fatigue. The bump makes going out on the blade less natural. I still like it visually for the swedges but the pretend bolster look never did much for me.

It's my first "good" knife and probably my favorite benchmade design. As a edc folder and what people expect of those today, 3/10.

This version is not in the mainstream catalogue. It’s an obscure version of the BM- 940 not available to to general audiences. The Benchmade 940 with original green aluminum handle is an icon in EDC folding knives. There is no serious debate that the BM-940 is the best on the market.
