Have been madly trying to decide on a new edc companion in the mid to higher end range for production folders for the past 3 weeks. I was pretty sure it was going to be a 940 variant and was leaning towards the newer 940-1. Came on here, asked a few questions, watched a couple hundred ;) youtube vids, you know the deal...but finally bought this yesterday.

I did a fair amount of driving to a bunch of knife shops because I never have even held one. My eyes lit up when the very last shop had this original greeny in the case. Flicked it twice and bought it...decision over.

So far I love it. It is ridiculously smooth, sturdy in the hand for such a light knife of its size, and has a perfect lock up with no blade play at all.

Have a feeling I'm going to be carrying this one for a while before I go back to the usual rotation, however I'm not going to wear er' when I know I'll be working in real nasty, crudy conditions since this is more of a gentleman's edc blade and I always try to keep my pricier blades from unnecessary wearage. It will definitely get some use though so in a few months I'll likely post a report once she's broken in.

For now I'm going to enjoy the hell at of it. Thanks to all on here who helped point me in the right direction. It was very much appreciated.

Cool. Enjoy your knew knife. I have owned many blades and the 940 as of the last few years has been my favorite EDC to date. It just may be my perfect knife.
 
One of the best knives ever made, enjoy it, and congrats!

It's just a perfect EDC in every way, except maybe the choice of blade steel.....

Ditto, When I was first exposed to the 940 my thoughts were why in the world is there so much favor on such an ugly looking knife? Well then I still don't exactly why, but other than a CRK I favor, its is the only other new model I own today. I have experienced most all.. This one has been in my pocket more than any other over all the years, and believe me there have been plenty opportunities with new ones as well as others..... It has taught me not to judge a knife by its cover!!!! It just has a Way about it "Period" A slick knife for many reasons, But no one single one can come to mind. Anyone who owns one may concur, it is because it is Outstanding.....

Yes, Sweet decision, and I am happy for your new find.. It will be around a long time I promise, it just has a way..........................TD
