Probably not, if you’re just going to lose it.
Yeah, sucks when you lose knives… someone out there has a Lucha that was very special to me. 😭
Is this a trick question??
What a weird coincidence! I found one today!
Nah. Move on.
I’m sorry for your loss 🙁 fucking hate losing a knife.
No
Absolutely
Love my 940, also love my Manix , give the Manix a try
How did you lose it?
Where did you lose it ? Go back and retrace steps
Can’t trust pocket clips I swear. So annoying
Absolutely not. 940s suck. And with the standard of Benchmade qc you would be lucky if all you get is a uneven grind.
Buy something worth the money, not another Benchmade.
lost my 940, bought a PM2 instead and never looked back
No
Well, to decide if you should directly replace *anything*, there’s a question to ask yourself. Did it work for your needs?
If it did, then the only reason to not do a direct replacement is if you don’t *want* to. Otherwise, it’s like any other purchase. You do your research, shop around, and make a budget.
Now, in terms of the research, there have been more *complaints* about benchmade quality control online, particularly here on reddit. Does that directly match actual QC results though? Does it reflect an uptick in issues?
I can’t answer that, and I don’t think anyone outside of a person handling returns would be able to. But the uptick in public complaints is real enough.
And there has *definitely* been a price increase that will not go away, even if the supposed reason for it does. Benchmade has jacked their prices *way* up just like every knife company has, claiming that the post COVID supply issues are the cause. But everyone knows that the why doesn’t matter, prices don’t go down once they go up.
That’s the info I have that’s useful. Take it with the grain of salt you should take any individual information.
The 940 is a popular knife for good reasons though, so I wouldn’t blame you if you did replace it 🙂
Coming from someone that has one, no I wouldn’t.
The blade is too thick for my tastes.
And Benchmade prices have always been high but they are absolutely ridiculous now.
To be honest, if I lost mine today, I would not purchase another. I would almost just send mine to you. Almost. Instead I would purchase a cool spyderco or something.
