Hi,
I'm looking at the Benchmade 940 Osborne Folding Knife.
or
The Benchmade 530 Pardue Folding Knife.
From what I can figure out the 940 has a better blade steel (S30V). I would also think the axis lock would be stronger with the aluminum frame.
But the aluminum handle will show scratches and appear more beat up after time.
The Pardue would be lighter, less likely to show scratches on the handle, but not as strong of axis lock or blade steel (154-CM)
Are these correct assumptions?
Thank You
