im looking to buy eigther the 942 or the 940 and first of all id like to know if anyone knows what "if any" are the differences between them aside from the blade material of course, and if theirs an advantage to eigther the s30v or the 154cm. to me they both just look the exact same, but what do i know =) thats why im askin u guys. i would go to a knife dealer around here but none of them even sell any benchmade. also if anyone has one i would like to know how it performs also ill add in i have never sharpened any of my knives as they usualy were 30-50 dollar ones i just bought a new one when it got dull.
 
The 940 has the reverse tanto blade, the 942 has the modified clip point blade. I myself like the 940 better. A bit more sheeple friendly and it's great for spreading peanut butter. As for the differance between 154CM and S30V. S30V should hold an edge a bit longer but the few knives I have with S30V are limited editions and don't use them enough to give a good answer. Some with more info will help out soon.
 
940 handle is green, 942 handle is black; both have the reverse tanto blade. I EDC a 940, works for me. BTW, the 941/943 have the mod clip point. IIRC the 942 has been discontinued.
 
i got the s30v, i have never had that steel in any of my knives before. also is their any area in the forums where i could get tips on sharpening knives? i never realy sharpened any before and would like to learn, not on my new ones of course, but my old junky ones i could practice on. thanks.

edit. well looks like im blind, i just completly missed the knife care forum, =P.

Enjoy the BM940; you have a very nice knife and will appreciate the S30V.
