Sog tac xr or civivi brazen are my go tos right now 😊
Is this the frack or pyrite? Im considering grabbing a frack as i want a bigger button lock but from this video it doesnt look as big as i thought... Maybe i should go with the pyrite large
@@pneuma6421 this is the pyrite
It’s comparable in size to bugout and elementum
@@RockyMountainEDC thank u for the info. I'm def going for the frack then. I have too many knives with blades under 3".
Beautiful
I just received my full size 940 Osborne in Burnt Orange. It’s my new favorite knife, and my EDC now. What a spectacular knife.
940 hasn’t disappointed me yet !! Enjoy your newest purchase !
I think I prefer your dog, but you're right, the Osborne is more stout. And I bought my green clip for the purpose, I think still it will be the Osborne. 😁😁👍👍
super lube is sooo good
This knife does it all good and not one thing exceptional. That’s why it’s a perfect edc knife. People say it’s not slicey 😂. Ofcourse it’s not like an TRM shadow but the shadow lacks the strength of the 940 blade. If I want too slice tomatoes for sushi I don’t use an edc folder so all that not slicey crap is 💩. This knife is great for a reason. They do need to upgrade the steel for the price though these days. The new magnacut version is awesome but ofcourse Benchmade throws a 100 bucks on top of the knife. While Spyderco has newer knife’s same price with upgraded steels.
I hate Benchmade for some reason, they are just corny. but I love the 940.
The benchmade 940 even 20 plus years later is still generally considered to be the best edc ever made
How many passes would you recommend? I know it depends on dullness; say I have a barely dull blade. A few passes on fine, ceramic, strop? I have like 50 knives and have tried stones and what not. Trying the work sharp before deciding to drop real coin on a Lansky bench set. Really want to master the basics… I keep fucking up with every sharpener I try somehow.
Barely dull ?!… a few to 5 passes on ceramic. If you just want to touch up … I usually strop very frequently
I have one of the new Wharnie WE banters with Unlocked Composites CF scales and a milled clip and I like it way way more than my flytanium Ti bugout Also when I bought my bugout I instantly regretted it and felt like I’d been mugged looking at that price tag and feeling the grivory scales 😂 once I got the titanium scales I was able to appreciate it a lot more, I’m glad I got it now. But I probably wouldn’t do it over again.
I saw the wharbie version . I would love to get one !
You need to get the newly released version of the Benchmade Osborne 940, which has a burnt copper anodized aluminum handle and magnacut blade👍 It's blade, hardware, and pocket clip all have an incredible battleworn finish💯🔥
@@ThomasConnolly I have seen it ! I want to get it so bad !! Maybe in the near future
Il faut reconnaître qu'il est beau !! Plus costaud que le Bugout ... Mais Benchmade est chère ... ^^
Benchmade is very overpriced . Thanks for watching
nic hehe
People who say pm2 is easier to open have never worked with the ball bearing lock I use a manix 2 for roofing and it’s so easy to open by just pulling that lock back and letting the knife open nothing tops it
I'm willing to bet that nobody can tell aus8 from m390 in actual use. Except aus 8 sharpens faster
Good point
Man, I'm like you as far as knives, blades, etc ... And I too take a gander at the knives in Walmart whenever I can.... And I ran across this one the other day, and there was only one of this type hanging on a spinning display sitting on the counter above the knife display section. As soon as I picked it up I notice the weight of it, and then I noticed how much I liked the blade. Like the shape and it's appearance. Price above it said something like $7.97, but I started thinking that this knife was probably in wrong place and I'd get to checkout and it surely cost more...... I'm happy to say it was the correct price. I sat in my jeep and opened it before leaving like a kid that can't wait till they get home, lol, and I was further impressed. It shaved the hair on my leg straight from the packaging.... And I've never had that happen before. Not even with knives costing 4-5 times more than this unnamed, Ozark Trail knife made in China. I'm not sure if it's the metal or the shape of the blade or what exactly that makes it so this blade is so freaking sharp, but I love it! I'm a little scared to sharpen it when the time comes bc I'm not sure if I'll be able to maintain this perfect, razor-sharp edge. The blade shape is incredible to me. I regularly pick an Ozark Trail fixed blade with the plastic sheaths for $5.97, and they're not the greatest, but for those prices, if it appeals to me then I grab it. So my point being that while I don't really take Ozark Trail super serious as far as quality knives, I am 2 days in and only growing more fond of this knife. I'm not usually the type to go for this type of handle, I lean more towards tactical\survival looking designs. Usually with a good grip when wet like G10, etc, and I was concerned this handle and its heaviness may present some danger as far it accidentally slipping from my hand but nawwww, she stays in place and has a balance that I like although it maybe a little heavier handle-side then I usually would care for, as I'm a knife-thrower as well, the things like balance stand out to me. Calm down.... I'd never throw this one unless I had too😂. Anyways, I better hit my brakes before I write a book to you about how much I love knives, not all of them, but all types. Oh man...like machetes and survival and the type of swords that Leonardo would have strapped to his back lol jk katanas, etc. oddly though I've yet to acquire any of those. I believe it's because I want ones that I'm drawn to aesthetically, but that can be used as well. Cuz I truly use mine. Got maybe 2-3 that I don't use and sometimes I wonder why I chose those to stay like new when they really aren't special or significant above any of the others. Anyhow....... My apologies for rambling. Thanks for vid and info on this knife. I was just curious to see if anyone else had stumbled upon this one and if they also felt as I do, as you do? If anyone thinks this knife is bad-az, irregardless of price? The price is a bonus, but it also causes your mind to think that if it's this cheap then it can't be this good! If they refuse to give these knives distinguishing names, then how do they expect people to look them up, or spread the word by mentioning it's model? IDK. Glad I found this one. Maybe I got lucky and got the sharpest one possible. I'm curious to know if they're consistently sharp from knife to knife? I have an Ozark Trail small fixed blade that looked cool but absolutely refuses to become an edge-holding, usable tool. I've tried different sharpeners and angles, etc and it just seems that the blade is incapable of being and staying sharp. Have you ever had an issue similar? BTW, before I go. What's your favorite sharpening method? And before you say it depends on what you're sharpening, let's just stick with pocketknives\smaller fixed blades. As much as I love knives, shamefully I must admit that it took me a very long time before I found a method that worked for me, and almost consistently across all blades sizes and types, even drop point, etc. Is it unusual for a blade lover to struggle getting to where they can properly sharpen their knives? Just curious. Not holding you to answering all this...well take care Brother and if you read to this point you might be the type of person that I'd assumed you were in the first place...lol. I need sleep...worked all night and I should know by now to not try communicating when sleep is needed this much ..later man
I agree 100% with you man ! This was an excellent little find! It is hard to find any information (as far as video reviews) out there , because the knives don’t have names ! I have had trouble with sharpening some budget knives that are supposed to have soft steels and easy to sharpen … I have done a little digging into some sharpening information , and sometimes too soft of steel you end up just rounding off your edge because it’s so soft . From what I can tell it may be better to take a more conservative approach , sharpen a little …test on paper…sharpen a little…. Test in paper etc….. some of the budget knives could be anything from a surgical stainless , 3cr15mov, Aus 8 , 8Cr13mov etc… I use the Worksharp guided field sharpener for all of my folding pocket knives. Thanks for watching and for your comment on the channel !
I have a problem with sharpening 940. It's sharp, but the geometry of the knife dont alowes too bee razor sharp ass Exe.Bagout . But it's like multi tool after 7 ares of using it. I like 940, and for camping and work, it's really reliable . Also, Benchmade has one of the best customer services for spear parts.
It does have a thick profile which will make it harder to get as thin slicey as bugout . However I would argue that it can still be very sharp . You also have to consider what the factory edge angle is they put on the knife … example some manufacturers put on a 15 degree, or 18, 20 or even a 12. And obviously the really thick knives will have 20+. If you are trying to put a 15 degree edge on a 20 degree edge knife . You are fitting against 1. The natural edge angle put on. 2. The edge angle chose was specific for the knife’s geometry and blade steel . Check out and see what the 940s factory angle is and make sure your sharpening at that angle
Keep the bow river and the bps and the gift. The rest throw in a river. Especially the bg gerber.
I just got the 940 and its awsome
Agreed !! One of if not my favorite folding knife i own
Stop sayin um😭
@@user-lo3wo1dj9b umm .. ok
Is it legal to carry in California
@@zanealani1473 check California state and local laws. I doubt this is legal there
@@RockyMountainEDCalr thanks
I have a collection of wide varieties, but a bone scaled stockman still gets the most pocket time after all these these years.
Now try it with phonebook paper.
I understand the criticisms about the bugout. I criticise it intellectually too but in the real world: the Bugout cf is the invisible, barely there knife that makes it into my pocket I have other, much “better” knives (CRK’s, Hinderers) but this exact knife, the cf version, is in my pocket every day coz i don’t have to think about it or feel its presence Wish they would update the blade steel though but S30 is perfectly functional. I just want magnacut because everyone else has magnacut 😀
Gerber the baby food makes knifes what
So I prefer the PM2, im biased lol but I also love the Manix as well. I think the Manix on paper and probably in practice beats the PM2 objectively.
5 plus 6 = 10, enough said by this lady. Buy a Manix.
Excellent video. I agree 100%. I love the knives you included. I really like the history of folding knives. George Washington used to always carry a Barlow knife. In fact it was carried by most colonists back then. Another old school folding knife was the Sodbuster. Both knives are really simple and cheap.
Steel - PM2 (it doesn't ONLY come in S35VN, that's just the one you have there) Ergos - PM2 (seriously, how did you pick the 940, the PM2 is an ergonomic miracle) Lock type - PM2 (940 if you're a lefty) Handle material - PM2 Weight - 940 Pocket carry - 940 Deployment - PM2 Price / value - PM2 Cutting - PM2 Blade shape - PM2 (that distal taper is genius, hard use at the base, finesse at the tip) Customization - PM2 PM2 wins, easily.
That sheath though... not good. Do you do leather working? It's easy to do
The screw driver tip on the can opener makes a very good Phillips driver, and the tip of the nail file works well on those tiny Phillips screws on electronics. Filing a very tiny flat on the tip of the nail file makes it work even better on tiny Phillips screws. Just two or three passes with the file, don't over do it. The cadet has abed a daily EDC for me for a few decades now, with only the Victorinox classic as an accompanying tool. With those two, I don't carry any other knife.
Hate compression lock
What is it??

My all time favourite edc. I work in construction and live rural on a farm in Australia. I’ve been using the same 940 daily for 8+yrs and is a workhorse. As a edc for an all round/everyday it is beyond its class. I love my Spyderco PM2, great knife but it doesn’t perform as well in everyday tasks. PM2 is great for going on a picnic to use to cut fruit & food, carry for protection as a slicing type knife. I use my knife daily at work and on the farm for everything. From cutting straps, rope, insulation, even use it sometimes to pry things (yes I know 😂). The 940 just keeps taking it.
I see that
I know what knife that is but why is the name of the knives not included in the majority of these videos
Apologies
@@RockyMountainEDC instead of saying apologies, why don’t you tell people the name of the knives you’re showing, otherwise what’s the point
I own both my pm2 in Maxamet and my Manix 2 in Cruwear and I love both so much I can’t pick lol
hi i just got one, cause i didn´t have an 84mm, fits in my "wallet" great, the file is a bit noise so don´t use it in croudy areas ja, i like it for light edc. regards
I saw someone restore a chipped and broken knife with it. Took a few hours of course given the fact that this is a field tool.
I know this product is good but I cannot for the life of me get that final cut lol and I'm doing exactly what he's doing 😂
This is an excellent knife one of my favorite pocket knives ever.
My favorite knife!
I like everything about the Paramilitary2 more, except for the lock. I have both and just due to the lock I carry the Manix 2 almost every single day.
It’s might not be as slicey but it more than makes up for it with its superb strength and a sharp 940 will still cut whatever u need it too
940 all day. Only thing the pm2 is better at is slicing the 940 is better at everything else. The pm2 blade is too flimsy and weak the 940 has excellent strength especially with that axis lock which is known for its superior strength. 940 beats pm2 anyday
Manix
Did u have to modify the lanyard tube to work or went right in?
@@andresm9092 it went perfectly in
