Ok every time I see a post on which Benchmade or Spyderco I should get the PM2 and the 940 come up . People alway say get 940 over the Pm2 or Pms is better because ////////. . I will bring a new view at Spyderco vs Benchmade the Caly 3.5 vs 940-1 or 940 . First of I'll say I been EDC both for two month now . And I like them both a LOT . I think these two knives are better comparison than a PM2 . Just because how they carry feel in the hand how long the blade are . Great knives .
I'm not a reviewer I'm doing this for fun and to let people know that the Caly 3.5 is a knife that can be compared to the 940 .
I like the caly ergos the knife fit and finish was spot on the blade came super sharp and the ZDP steel is great holds an edge very well it's still sharp . I just like the way the choil works on this knife I have a secure grip when I use it . The other thing is Spyderco manage to but a 3.5 blade on this knife maximize the handle from tip to tip . As you can see in the pictures the caly blade is not small at all . Sal did a great job with caly 3.5 there is a small up and down play on the knife expected from a liner lock . Carbon fiber looks good .
The 940-1 is IMHO benchmade best knife this knife is sweet looking with great blade steel . The revers tanto tip work great for stabbing and then cutting cardboard . The blade is a bit long for my need but for what ever reason I don't mind it on this knife . The edge retention has been good still sharp . But not as sharp as the caly . The 940-1 has the Best carbon fiber handle on a knife by far . They look sweet and feel like a200+ knife . Has minor side blade play .
Witch knife I like better . I like them both for different reason caly has a Slight edge just because of cost . You get a great knife with carbon fiber and ZDP for about $170 . Spyderco new knives are close to $200 plus know . The 940 is about $250 that said the knife is well worth the money . If you can't get the 940-1 the get the regular . Still a nice knife .
If you have them both I ask . Which one do you like better ?
