THE BEST ALL AROUND KNIFE THERE IS!,
By
This review is from: Benchmade 940 Osborne Design Knife (Sports)
I have collected dozens of very expensive, high end knives, many of which cost significantly more than the Benchmade 940, and about 360 days out of the year, this is what is in my pocket everywhere I go, and I mean everywhere. Why? It is a perfectly balanced and engineered design:
Any bigger and it would be uncomfortable in my pocket, any smaller and the blade would not be big enough to be usefull for all around use. The handle is as small and thin as possible so you can clip it in your pocket and still use your pocket without it getting in the way, but it is also a perfectly usable size even with big hands. It weighs practically nothing and has perfect balance and feel. The AXIS lock, locks up rock solid, but by pulling back on the lock you can flick it open and closed faster than any thumb stud (which I have removed), and in fact is as fast as an automatic. The blade is made of S30V, which as of November 2007, is the best all around steel there is. It comes with a factory edge that you can literally shave with, and will hold that edge better than anything else except D2 tool steel or ceramic (both of which are too brittle and very hard to sharpen properly). The blade design while different, is like everything else about it, an amazing piece of engine

Great knife but a few flaws.,

This review is from: Benchmade 940 Osborne Design Knife (Sports)
I have been on a little of a knife binge here the last two months and decided that a high-end folder would have to be my "last drink" for awhile. I was going to go for the BM Griptillian but after seeing that Amazon had this knife for almost $50 less than most of the online dealers I sprung for the little bit more and got this beaut.
This is my first BM and my fist knife in S30V steel that seems to be all the rage. I have not had the knife long enough to comment on S30V's edge retention but most knife folks seem to love it. The knife is beautiful and light. The anionidized aluminum handles are grippy due to the coating and the purple titanium spacer is great for weight reduction. The liner is great and the Axis lock is one cool invention. This knife opens as easily as my assisted Kershaw Leek without the spring pushing the blade open. It really must be experineced to be believed. It opens even faster if you simply pull back the lock and let gravity or a flip do the work and closes just as easily. Unfortunately, the finishing of the Axis lock is where this knife looses a point. The knife is very precisely engineered and the pivot screw is less than a fraction of a millimeter from a fast opening great knife to a wobbly blade. When I got it out of the box it opened quickly and the blade was tight but after about a hundred open/close cycles (you will do this in the first day) the blade got a slight wobble. I checked online and this was a common problem and easily remedied by removing the pivot screw and putting a small drop of Locktite in the hole and VERY CAREFULLY adjusting the screw back to that perfect point. You would think at this price point ($170 most places) and this attention to design and materials BM has put into this blade that they would take care of putting that cheap drop of Locktite in there for you so you wouldn't have to spend the extra time and energy on such a great blade. At this price it is a recommend but at the usual price I have seen online I would probably be disappointed.

The best knife I've ever had,
By
This review is from: Benchmade 940 Osborne Design Knife (Sports)
Fate would have it that this knife would fall into my hands. On a camping trip with my father about a year and a half ago, deep in the middle of nowhere in a redwood lined-ravine, which would appear to have ever been wandered through by us, I was up late at night beside the fire digging around the forest litter (I had a good amount of Newcastle in me at the time). About three or four inches into the pine needles, somehow through the most amazing and surreal circumstances I could have and still have imagined, this knife was buried. To this day, the events surrounding it's discovery amaze me. After significant cleaning of the knife, which had dirt packed into every crevice, I concluded that it was a cheap knife probably left by a local forest service firefighter. I was greatly mistaken.
The last year and a half, it has served me well. This knife is perfect in every way. I use it to cut through everything, from my steak dinner this evening, to hacking away at pieces of wood, or stabbing the soil when I'm bored. The axis locking system is incredibly useful, and works far better than any sort of locking system I have ever seen. The steel on this blade is somewhat of a supernatural hardness and durability. It will NOT ding, and the edge seems to be indestructible! The aluminum handle and titanium backbone give this knife a very sturdy, durable platform to house and execute the blade opening. Overall, this knife somehow found me, and until the day I lose it, a very sad day indeed sometime in the future (granted, my phone number is engraved in the handle), much like losing a son or daughter I imagine, I will continue to use it, to beat it, to test it and admire it.
