Best all around real pocket knife benchmade 940 or spyderco pm2???

That is a matter of opinion. And the broken tips on the PM2s make me question it.

I think most people with broken pm2 tips were abusing their knives. My reasoning is you never hear of complaints of broken tips on say a delica 4. But the delica has a thinner tip than the pm2. Is it that the pm2 is mainstream enough that people buy it and plan on beating on it like thick so called sharpened prybars and just don't know how to use a knife properly, and most folks buying a delica understand that and use it appropriately?

I was very concerned of tip breakage and almost talked myself out of ever trying one. Having used it for months now I'm really not concerned. I'd rather they have used a thinner blade stock so the whole blades a little thinner.

But like the one guy said, it's not a multitool. It's for cutting and not scraping out a horses hoof.

Sebenza or Inkosi.

But the GB2 is so close to a sebenza in size and likeness at a much lower cost. (If you’re cost conscious)

Not listed but a CS American Lawman is a stout little folding knife and with a great locking system.

Throw the Recon 1 in there as well. Even the CS Ultimate Hunter. Bombproof folders and the quality on these Taiwanese made knives are very high

Wrong either way, the right answer is the Spyderco Manix 2.

This might be the best answer of all

It seems after having both knives in my life and breaking a peice of the tip off my pm2 I seem to be reaching more for the 940 but one of my axis springs broke.......so I wonder which is best all around out of theze 2??

Kind of funny- you have owned and used both knives. You are probably more qualified to answer your own question than 90% of the people who have responded.

I also have both the 940 and the PM2. My etc is the Taggedout
