After a couple of weeks the 940 is still in my pocket. It's a slender, elegant knife but at the same time it feels rugged and durable.
Anyway, the swap was a piece of cake - no need to disassemble handles, I just carefully removed the pivot screws and slid the blades/washers in and out.
Although I was thinking about asking for the 940-1 S90V blade but as I understand it that might not be possible.
This thread has me really missing my long lost beloved (and lost!) 940CFD2 - carbon fiber handle, D2 blade...that was the first time I ever spent more than $200 on a knife (I spent $450 on it, IIRC) and holy-sweet-jesus, I LOVED that thing and I used the crap out of it! And then one day it simply disappeared :'( At the time I replaced it with a normal 940bk and it worked well, but I still miss that 940cfd2 to this day.
It was offered as a gold class knife maybe 9-10 years ago...correct me if I'm wrong, but I haven't seen one of those pop up in any of the collection pics yet. Has me thinking I lost a pretty rare, and really special knife.
I've drifted away from Benchmade in my last few years of knife collecting, but I'll always have some love for the 940. A great design all around!
There is one for sale at the moment, that I know of. Matt Wulff is selling it.
OMG that is seriously, painfully, deliciously tempting news! Having just spent over $200 on a new knife today, I don't think I can swing it, but damn...
by the way, did you just register for bladeforums to tell me that?
That's really cool of you to do that brother :thumbup: :cheers:
My wallet may not be a big fan of you as I think about ways to get funds together, but as far as I can tell you're a thoughtful, considerate guy...respect to you!
Awesome man! Thanks again for the thought...No problem man, I'd be sad if someone didn't help me out the same. Especially if it was actively for sale.
EDIT: If someone should have a 10300 Monochrome, Silver/Stainless, they need to get rid of, now would be a great time to hook me...
Miss the 942...black scales with a 154CM blade.

This picture has a vertical row and a horizontal row. The former includes (L to R) a 940, a 940-1, a 941-81, and 940BT. The latter includes (top to bottom) a 940-Ti 01, a 940-Ti, a 942 with a 943 blade, a 941-81 with a Damascus blade, a 940-1, and a 941-81.
Since I took the picture, I have uncovered 2 more knives: a C/F with a 943 blade and a 940-Ti 01.View attachment 471369
Oooooh, very nice. I really like that really light colored one (looks like white or gray aluminum). Thanks for the photo.
here is a more updated pic
included is the 940dm
941BC1red
and not pictured is the 940ti-400
Cool! But this only makes the 940d2cf even more elusive...this is me!!!
