I have had mine as an edc for over ten years now. I have had on my person about 99% of the time. I have used/abused this great knife by opening and breaking down thousands of cardboard boxes. I cannot even count the times I have cut rope with. Used as a steak knife when the restaurants knives suck. It has never failed me even once.
what do you guys think would be best. a benchmade 375 adamas fixed, or a sure fire EW-05 fix blade. the surefire is about 60$ more adding up to about 200$. the surefire is about .6 ounces less than the bench made.
The problem with the price is that the newer models are using S30V steel exclusively, which we all know costs a ton. I'd love to see them bring back the 154CM, but in the meantime we may have to settle for the 950 Rift.
@TheCrazyTman It was one of the gold class practically custom ones, they are very expensive, the normal black and blue class knives arent nearly as pricy.
Hey Benchmade why has the price on these gone up from $125 to $175 over the last couple years? I've had this knife on my wish list but each year the price goes up. Why?
agreed about jumping on knives you like. year or two ago i was a big fan of the leek (kershaw) -- damascus leeks were plentiful for about 80-90 bucks -- now if i want one i gotta pay 180-200 :(
i bought one of these but lost my job recently if anyone is looking for one that has been carried only 3 times and is still like new drop me a line i was thinking 150 i paid 183.99 new
@XxZeRoGravityxX101 Send it to Benchmade so they can fix it perhaps. It does have a life time warranty on it. Go on their site, give them a call and they'll help you out :)
I have a benchmade 940 in green with te s30v blade, I absolutely love it, though I was disappointed in the edge out o box. Other than that, it's one of my favorites.
@TheTobyKing I used it on a camping trip last week and it did amazing on wood. Just carving spears and what not. I can imagine that it would work great at whittling as well. I used the S30V steel and it still has a shaving sharp edge on it after my trip.
@8ball29 You get what you pay for and benchmade is no different, reliability and craftsmanship are hard to match when it comes to benchmade in the mass produced knife world, they dont fuck around.
great knife, this is my first benchmade, but i thought it was gonna be the best of the best in quality but any spyderco is the same or even better in terms of construction, material its whats good about this knife. I expected more.
I wanted to get this knife but for how much it was and how nice it is I just don;t think I could bring my self to use it let alone take it outa the box
How do you send a knife to razors edge, because my dad reprofiled one of my blades and lets say it didn't come out pretty... So now i don't let him get anywhere near my knives!
@nutnfancy I WOULD LIKE TAKE THE KNIFE FROM YOU...SO I CAN CHOP OFF YOU AND YOUR DADS AND YOUR GRAND DADS BALL AND USE THEM IN MY BLACK SMOOTH BUNGHOLE AS ANAL BEADS...FOR PLEASURE.
i bought this knife and the color of green looks like no one elses! but anyways.... after i open the knife like 10 times it gets massive blade play.... do i just use lock tite on it? what kind of lock tite and where can i get it?
@coolerthancoolest78 yah lol thanks i got it today and its working, anyways does yours have like no blade detent or is it just me? its like really weak blade detent!
@DaBossk Great! good to hear! such a great knife. anyway they dont have traditional detents such as ball detent, instead to hold the blade in the have kind of a slope towards the choil of the blade that the axis lock just kind of slides into and in essence, just sucks the blade back into the handle.
I just got a 940 and 707. Noticed the pivot screw comes loose on both. Guess I'm gonna have to lock-tight it. You think benchmade would fix that. Haven't had that problem on my spyderco's... yet.
Man, i gotta tell you i just love listening to u ramble if you will haha about knives. i am only 16 and working part time and slowly but surely growing my knife collection. I love inspecting knives just seeing all the engineering that goes into them, my dads a gunsmith so i know how much precision and R&D goes into some of these knives. Im hooked! i cought the sickness...:p
I want to get this knife it is sooo cool! should I get a damascus or a normal 154 CM steel one like this one? is damascus worth the money?! pls knifelovers help me!
@outdoortoday just some random guys opinion here buutttttttttttttt........the benchmade 551 griptilian full size straight edge.......it is a fantastic knife :)
@TadRapidly In all honesty, simplicity is sometimes the key. Yeah, I see how someone could want a do-it-all tool/blade combo but there is really no task that requires all of those. EDC tasks rarely require a fixed blade, tactical tasks rarely require a multi-tool, survival doesnt either. While it may sound like a no-brainer to make something like that, when you start to gain experience in each role you want simplicity and effectiveness. It would be quite collectable though. Just my thoughts. =)
@LTJones100 Sorry :-( I'm not referring to EDC with this comment--my bad on that. I'm just talking general wilderness / urban survival kit-wise. i think it would be fun to hear people's choices on a grouping similar to mine.-it would open up a lot of discussion!
why do you prefer the belt clip at the "bottom" end? this seems to be the common placement on high end knives but i can't figure out why. logic tells me the other end is superior in every way so it seems that i'm missing something. with it at the "top" end it seems that you have no chance of stabbing yourself and that it will naturally be in your hand in the correct position once retrieved. what am i missing?
Do you really still think this is truly the best tactical or edc choice out there? Since posting this video, you have also done reviews on the endura 4 ffg and other amazing knives. Can this knife still compete despite being of an older design?
i would still go with auto knife (personal opinion ) because if ur in a high stress situation u would have to lock that knife from what i see a auto knife u just press a button no thinking involved thats why i like auto . my uses is mostly self defense
After almost 2 years of pining over this knife, I finally ordered one and just received it yesterday. It immediately became my favorite one! With a knife as beautiful and well made as this, I know it's not just the new factor. Next Benchmade I purchase will be the Kulgera, which will probably give the 940 a run for it's money. Damn, this is an EXPENSIVE hobby!
I've had this knife for about two years now, and have carried it with me every day since seeing this review! The clip has worn out most of my jean pockets, but the knife still works great. @nutnfancy Any suggestions for getting the blade resharpened? I've totally abused mine and it's losing it's edge.
I just went to Benchmade's website to check out their blades but their site is a nightmare to navigate. They just lump everything together and the only categories they have are "product classes gold, blue, black, red" which makes it total guesswork to sort what's inside. No such sorting per blade size, type, use.. nothing! ugh.
I bought my 940 when I was 16, spent my entire paycheck on it. I've had it 8 yrs now it survived 4 years in the marines with 2 tours in Iraq. I decided long ago I'd never need another general carry pocket knife. Good review.
Found one today at a gun and knife show and took the plunge. Took the plunge and bought it as my first benchmade. Must say probably the highest quality knife I have ever touched. Can't wait to pull out my sexy green reverse tanto blade in public. It is extremely functional piece of eye candy.
i know that Gerber has a F.A.S.T knife folder, and i have it. persinally, i like it, but not as much as the other Gerbers i've had. i once had the AR 3.0, a folder, not spring assisted, and it opened faster than my F.A.S.T spring knife. seriously.
Many moons ago I thought I would never buy a benchmade bcause they were expensive and I didn't like their designs at that time, too much. Today my benchmades are my top fav folders. Who would've thought?
hey quick question nd dont think im a hater,, like i carry a knife all the time just as a tool just wonderin have u actually ever needed to defend yourself with your blade
Nutn just curious but did i see a teleprompt in the reflection of the blade? lol i was like huh.... cause i saw a blue screen with white letters at around 3:50, just curious and observant :) ~TNPer
Nut'n you are correct. Once you buy a Benchmade you are hooked. My first B/M was the Griptilian 551. The Lo & behold!!! I got the B/M 2550 Mini-Reflex Auto Black Satin. I now EDC both daily on top of all my duty gear, Sig P229,Asp, Pepper Spray, S&W cuffs, Motorola etc. I own a TON of knives, Sog,Kershaw,Boker, Meyerco,ColdSteel,S&W,Gerber. BUT B/M is tops. LOVE my B/M 2550 Mini-Reflex. BTW I got that one from one of your reviews. Thanks Dude
It's just my opinion, but any knife to be potentially used as a weapon should have deep choils or components to protect the fingers in use, as well as a rough, high friction grip. This knife has neither, despite it's high price.
its a double action thats why it comes out so fast and thats due to the AXIS system i love their AXIS lock i have an HK folder i love it, its my favorite and i only wish i could get my hands on an osbourne but the price is crazy. but ya love this knife lol
I have only just recently subscribed and started watching your knife reviews. I was wondering if you will ever start doing butterfly knife reviews along with all many other kinds of blades you review. Otherwise I have nothing at all to complain about, your reviews are very comprehensive and informative. Thank you very much.
Hello Mr. Nutnfancy, While you mention this knife is "manual action," it appears to have "assisted opening" technology. Would you please clarify whether or not this model is an "assisted opening" folder? Thank you
@viperdude400ltd I see the prices online fluctuate anywhere from $105 to $150 or so. Frequently you can catch a sale for a very good price, just check often.
@nutnfancy errr i want to say sorry for offending you guys, but at the same time i don't believe that these are bought past collection and maybe slight use here and there.... perhaps i made a mistake and for that i apologize but what is it that these knives are usually used for past collecting?
@lFlash4 Yeah it depends on the person. I don't buy knives that I don't plan on using. So I only have like 4 knives (!). These types of vids help me pick and choose good options.
@lionchamp777 yeah i guess collectors have their place in the world helping us find the best products for our needs.. you make a good point. sry vid guy

i know that Gerber has a F.A.S.T knife folder, and i have it. persinally, i like it, but not as much as the other Gerbers i've had. i once had the AR 3.0, a folder, not spring assisted, and it opened faster than my F.A.S.T spring knife. seriously.

It's definitely over-priced. I will probably sell mine and buy a shotgun...

Many moons ago I thought I would never buy a benchmade bcause they were expensive and I didn't like their designs at that time, too much. Today my benchmades are my top fav folders. Who would've thought?

Nut'n you are correct. Once you buy a Benchmade you are hooked. My first B/M was the Griptilian 551. The Lo & behold!!! I got the B/M 2550 Mini-Reflex Auto Black Satin. I now EDC both daily on top of all my duty gear, Sig P229,Asp, Pepper Spray, S&W cuffs, Motorola etc. I own a TON of knives, Sog,Kershaw,Boker, Meyerco,ColdSteel,S&W,Gerber. BUT B/M is tops. LOVE my B/M 2550 Mini-Reflex. BTW I got that one from one of your reviews. Thanks Dude

Where did you get the one with the red handle? I can only find the green handle

It's just my opinion, but any knife to be potentially used as a weapon should have deep choils or components to protect the fingers in use, as well as a rough, high friction grip. This knife has neither, despite it's high price.

@Darkstar2520 Dude, the 940 is so much nicer. The Rift is a heavier use knife. It's a Griptilian on roids

I have only just recently subscribed and started watching your knife reviews. I was wondering if you will ever start doing butterfly knife reviews along with all many other kinds of blades you review. Otherwise I have nothing at all to complain about, your reviews are very comprehensive and informative. Thank you very much.

Hello Mr. Nutnfancy, While you mention this knife is "manual action," it appears to have "assisted opening" technology. Would you please clarify whether or not this model is an "assisted opening" folder? Thank you

@quanfa88 i believe what looks to be a release mechanism is actually a safety lock

@skiierboy01 Thanks.
quanfa88 1 year ago
@quanfa88 It isn't assisted opening. The knife just has a very smooth pivot and lock system that allows it to open very easily and quickly.

@nutnfancy errr i want to say sorry for offending you guys, but at the same time i don't believe that these are bought past collection and maybe slight use here and there.... perhaps i made a mistake and for that i apologize but what is it that these knives are usually used for past collecting?

@lFlash4 Yeah it depends on the person. I don't buy knives that I don't plan on using. So I only have like 4 knives (!). These types of vids help me pick and choose good options.
