Benchmade 940 in M4

JJPaul · Sep 24, 2008

Hi All,

Just got a note about this one today, its a dealer exclusive and I'm guessing should be pretty popular with any steel snobs (guilty).

BM12800BK-801

Real picture doesn't seem to be up as of now, but it should look pretty nice.

Oops that's a Osborne Gaucho not a 940, my bad. Can't seem to change the title to reflect that.

I will hold out for a 710 or the spydy Mule.

I have one of those NRA gauchos. It's a fantastic knife.

I agree! Weird!

I'm getting two of the M4 710's as IMHO the 710 is the best Benchmade knife and blade design.

The 806, 705 and 730 are also huge faves as well and maybe they'll be re-released in M4.

Agreed, fugly.

I have the original NRA Gaucho and absolutely love the knife but I was let down by them releasing it in M4 rather than S30V. S30V holds an edge better, MUST be easier to resharpen, and it's stainless (no need to coat the blade). I seem to be in the minority but I love the blade shape, too.

what M4 knives have you used?

Actually, I'm hoping that M4 will take an edge with little finesse (time is time, but stubborn burrs and such are a PITA) like M2 does.
