Anyone have any pics. of these knives? I'm considering one or the other, but can't decide. Of course comments on either are welcome too. I'll be carrying it every day.
 
Based on a blade shape it would be more appropriate to compare 950 to 940. And even in that case - get both :D
 
I'd love to, can't really afford both right now though. I was hoping for some good comparisons to help me make my decision.
 
Click and compare.
You probably will be able to tell - I like them in all shapes and sizes :D

things to think about are whether or not you prefer the feel of aluminum to G10, and if you have a steel or blade shape preference. I like the blade shape of the 950 a lot more than the spearpoint on the 960, so if I had to pick just one it'd probably be the rift. and Rx doesn't really like benchmade, he just doesn't want anyone to find out about his secret love of cutco paring knives.
 
No. You got it all wrong. Ginzu is the name of the game. Tactical Ginzu, if you wish :D
 
I have a 960, I'll try to get some pics up if I can find my camera, and I really like it. It's a great EDC but not much more. The aluminum is surprisingly comfortable in your hand and I really like the look of it. Something about the bright red aluminum really catches my eye (I just get sick of looking at black). I also looked at the Rift before I made my decision but for what I wanted (strictly edc blade) the 960 fit the description better imo. Also, the Rift is noticeably bigger in the hand than the 960. I couldn't be happier with my 960 but if you choose the Rift I'm sure you want be disappointed, it is a Benchmade after all.
