This model is maybe my next 940 grab. I really like the look of the wood/carbon togather. Yes the price point is a bit off in my mind also having the D2 blade. Nothing wrong with D2 it's a fine knife steel and I have a benchmade knife with D2 and it's a cutting machine very impressive. Its just this model sales at a premium price point so I feel it needed M4 at least maybe even CPM20 or 90v.
