Features & Benefits of Benchmade 940 EDC folding knife

The Benchmade 940 knife boasts of a versatile, robust, and premium design, which ensures superb performance. We love the modern sleek design that is appealing to most people.
Overall, the awe-inspiring elegance makes it a great gentleman’s gift. Besides the aesthetics, we love the ergonomic design that makes it not only easy to use but also enhances your comfort.
The ergonomic design provides you with a superior grip making it easy to perform daily tasks. Notably, thanks to the slim profile, this knife makes a perfect addition to your survival kit, tackle box as well as your backpack when heading out for outdoor adventures.
v Superior Blade
The Benchmade 940 knife features a 3.4-inch long modified reverse tanto blade. The blade is surprisingly thin, especially when considering its performance. Only 0.115” thick, the blade may seem feeble but thanks to its steel construction, it outperforms other thicker blades.
The lightweight blade combined with compact design also allows the knife to literary disappear in your pocket.
Still, on the performance, the high-quality American steel blade is corrosion-resistant, easy to sharpen and hold an edge. At the same time, the blade is tougher than average blades making it a great choice to handle intense jobs including military use, as well as extreme outdoors.
Moreover, the silvery, shiny finish makes the blade stand out.
v Solid, ergonomic handle
Simplicity is king when it comes to the Benchmade 940 EDC folding knife. This model comes with a very simple yet ergonomic handle. It is crafted from a durable 6061-T6 aluminum handle.
For enhanced performance, the handle is fully ambidextrous and features a smooth satin grip making it versatile enough to handle just any application.
As mentioned, the handle is pretty simple. So, you shouldn’t expect to find anything very fancy. But, we love the fact that it puts more emphasis on comfort and secure grip. At the same time, the handle doesn’t feel cheap.
The aluminum construction makes it feel solid, sturdy, and simple to use. Besides fitting well in your hand and providing you the much-needed ergonomics, the handle does not corrode or chip even after prolonged use.
v Above-average Locking Mechanism
True to its roots, this knife also features a versatile axis locking mechanism that is housed inside the handle. This is the same locking mechanism that is used on other Benchmade knives.
The mechanism is also quite popular thanks to its 100 percent ambidextrous performance. This locking mechanism features a hardened steel bar that rocks back and forth to lock and unlock the knife.
Similarly, this locking mechanism provides you with much-needed safety. For instance, when unlocking the axis is usually positioned over the blade rear. Thereafter the pin slides down the tang’s angled tang.
This ensures that the knife remains well secured while in an unlocked or locked position. And thanks to the easy functionality, you will enjoy working with your knife.
v Simplicity of Use
The 940EDC folding knife is perfectly designed to fit both small and large-sized hands. The ergonomic design is well balanced and offers sufficient traction along with your thumb ramp. While still maintaining a simple, lightweight design, this invincible folding knife packs a punch with its unobtrusive form factor.
With a decent blade length, the knife has a nice edge that makes it easy to slice through different materials. Equally, we love the dagger look, although it is slightly slimmer when compared to most daggers.
When it comes to edge retention, the CPM-S30V steel blade ensures first-grade edge retention as well as impressive corrosion resistance.
Likewise, this model weighs a mere 2.90 ouches and has an overall 7.87-inch length. These attributes bond well for a pocket-sized pocket. The thin and lightweight design makes most people forget that they are carrying it. It also literally disappears in your pants or jacket pockets without budging.
Another main draw is its tiny footprint completely being completely full-sized. This makes it applicable for various situations including defense, hunting, food preparations, as well as other outdoor uses.
v Reversible Tip-up Pocket Clip
Regarded as one of the best quintessential folding knives of all time, this knife is not only solid and stylish but also practical to use in all situations imaginable.
Another notable feature worth noting is the reversible pocket clip that allows for easy and safe tip-up carry. The clip is superbly crafted and has a nice finish that doesn’t chip off. The stainless steel clip is designed to last and offers a secure grip.
In the same breath, the clip is not obstructive and feels comfortable in your hand. It comes in a slim and smooth design that doesn’t feel to clunk. Moreover, the clip has a reversible design making great for both right and left-handed individuals.
