I always wanted a Benchmade knife but I guess I didn't realize what a top quality knife was really like until now. After owning the 940 for a little while now, I will say the 940 is a perfectly balanced knife that is well worth the cost if you are looking for the last daily carry knife you will ever need unless you lose it. I am very pleased with the balance, shape and ease at which I carry this knife every day. I will certainly be replacing my hunting knife with Benchmade when the time comes. Did I mention that my Benchmade knife is the sharpest knife I have ever owned?
