Customers like the sharpness of the knife. For example, they say it came razor sharp, the operation is like butter, and the blade is nicely sharpened. Some say that the knife stays sharp and is the sharpest factory produced folding knife they have ever had the pleasure of owning.

189 customers mention160 positive29 negative

Customers like the size of the knife. They say it's a neat size, super compact, and takes up little pocket space. The length perfectly fits their hand without any handle hanging out the bottom. The profile is slim, but with a thick blade. The aluminum handles are a good size and provide a great grip. However, some customers feel the blade is relatively slim, and the overall folded size is large.

Customers find the smoothness of the knife to be excellent. They mention that the blade operation is smooth as butter, the opening and closing action is extremely smooth, and the axis system is very smooth. The lock system is brilliant and makes opening the knife smooth and quicker than any assisted opening. The texture of the handle is powdery, so it's not slick and does let you get a grip.

Customers are mixed about the value of the knife. Some mention that it's worth the asking price, while others say that it is a bit on the pricey side.

"...This is a moderately priced, and solid EDC, mid-duty folder. It has a long/lanky blade which is also thick and sturdy...." Read more

"...nothing too expensive but quite a few over the $100.00 mark. after owning this model i doubt i'll carry anything else as an e.d.c. blade...." Read more

"...Lifetime warranty and free sharpening is also an added bonus. They are pricey, but I would rather spend the money up front and stop buying cheapos..." Read more

110 customers mention73 positive37 negative

Customers have mixed opinions about the centering of the knife. Some mention that the blade is well centered and perfectly centered in the handle when closed, while others say that it's poorly centered, just shy of touching the side, and the edge is inconsistent.

"...For me, just right in every facet.Like:Blade markings; annodized aluminum frame is strong and super-light; handsomely etched...." Read more

"...The functionality of the blade shape is vast. The blade steel is S30V steel which is high quality steel. It retains its sharpness for a long time...." Read more

"...In fact, the blade edge is inconsistent (more dull in the belly than closer to the tip). With my other BMs (rift, sequel, emissary, H2O, etc.),..." Read more

"...A blade shape that lends itself to most uses: The reverse tanto design leaves a broad, useable belly to the cutting edge, yet retains strength all..." Read more

I love this knife!

I love this knife!
After years of collecting pocket knives, I decided to get my first Benchmade…the Ranger green Bugout. I like carrying that knife so much that I decided to get a 940 next. I bought mine from the Benchmade store here on Amazon and I’m super happy. The delivery took 2 days which was surprising since I’m pretty remote up here in northern CA.The Action of my Bugout is great, but the 940 is next level. I don’t bother with the thumb studs since just pulling the Axis bar back let’s the blade swing open or closed. Being able to open and close it one handed is awesome. The lock is super strong and there isn’t even a hint of any blade play. The blade centering is perfect as well.I was also really surprised how grippy the bead blasted anodized handle is! It looks similar to the green anodized handles on my Kershaw Leek, but the finish on this handle has a nice texture that’s easy to hang onto when using the knife. That anodized purple back spacer looks pretty freakin awesome too!I’m really digging this knife. Great blade shape, fits my size XL glove hands well and it packs a lot of blade into that very handsome handle. Great job, Benchmade!
