I have a question for you...
So I'm almost 100% positive that I'll be purchasing the Benchmade Osborne 940. I love everything About it. It looks great, felt great in hand at Cabelas. But I'm looking for more of an opinion from experienced 940 owners regarding the durability of this knife because using it is one thing I haven't done with it yet.
For a while there I had no doubt in my mind that it was a tough, hard use knife based on some YouTube reviews from a few guys. But then I would read every now and then in some forums that some people considered it a gentleman's folder, which to me can be interpreted as a knife that can't take or shouldn't take much abuse and that is more so for when wearing a suit, or maybe at a wedding ect.. Not saying that's the definition lol, it's just how I think of a gentleman's folder.
And I also read one person describe it as "flimsy". So my question to you 940 owners is: do you consider this knife to be a durable, and if needed to be, a hard use knife? Has it ever failed you in any way? Or has it made it through any task you've thrown it's way?
