Customer Reviews
Although the lock bar does seem to rub against the liners a little. Kinda to be expected.
It did have quite a bit of lock stick out of the box (but It's smoothing out), and the factory edge isn't the best.
The natural G10 scales are nice, and are a bit more translucent than other nat G10 scales. Definitely very cool to be able to watch the axis spring flex as you open and close the knife.
I bought mine after the restock, so it may not be around anymore, but if it is, you should definitely buy it.
Let's get this out of the way, asthetically speaking, this knife is freaking gorgeous. Love the natural G10, and the black contrast blade. It's sweet. But that's about the only good I have...
The bad
-Dull blade: This thing came dull from the factory. I would expect that a knife would come sharp. It won't even cut paper...
-Sticky axis lock: The lock is sticky. Sometimes it'll deploy smoothly, sometimes it sticks real bad and i need to use both hands to unjam it. The fact that a knife of this price is sticking and having this issue i feel is unacceptable.
Overall, it's a slick looking knife, but the execution of the knife is poor. I'm going to reach out to benchmade and see what can be done. If they can't do anything, i'll be returning the knife. Expected more for what i paid.
Received mine quickly. Perfectly centered blade. Smooth action that will break-in to perfection. Razor sharp after a quick strop (factory grinds are kind of crude/coarse).
I replaced the split arrow clip with a BM regular deep carry, but that's personal preference.
Highly recommend this beast for any 940 aficionados!
I rit dyed mine with racing red and it came out to be a sort of maroon or ruby red color and I love it.
The price is reasonable as well for a 940 in M4, in fact, I think it's quite inexpensive for what you get.
I too share a few of the gripes with other people, the G10 is smooth and slippery, it's not gritty like other manufacturers G10 like a PM2. However, giving it a tight grip will aid with it remaining in your grip; the 940 also has a slight choil in the handle so you'll not slip onto the blade.
Great knife, even better exclusive.
I love the smoother, satin like feel of it. It has enough texture to not be slick, but it also isn't going to shred a hole through my jeans.
The black is a perfect compliment to the G10, the blade is dead centered, and it came razor sharp. Only complaint is the blade bevel is slightly off center, with the show side being a little wider than the clip side. It's very minor, and will be worked out after a couple of light sharpenings, but it'll be a while before this M4 needs it!
Cons: Factory edge was not as sharp as expected. Also, the finish on the pocket clip looks almost as though it got moisture on it in the drying process and is spotted.
With all that aside I'm glad BladeHQ made this exclusive possible. It is truly a beauty and the good outweighs the bad. No regrets !
CON: As usual the G10 is from benchmade is extremely smooth unlike the G10 you find on something like a spyderco paramilitary 2. While I love my benchmade knives I do wish their G10 had a grit similar to that of the spyderco paramilitary 2.
