Almost a yr in the past to the day, there was a FP deal on a BladeHQ unique model of the Benchmade Bugout (https://slickdeals.net/e/14714459-benchmade-bugout-gray-g10-axis-lock-3-2-knife-black-150-free-s-h), and I jumped on it. It was my first pocket knife, and it led me down a deep deep rabbit gap into the world of knife accumulating.
Anyway, seems to be like BladeHQ is working a considerably comparable promotion on their unique model of the 940 this yr. It’s in a black cerakote CPM-M4 blade and Jade/Natural G10. M4 is a excessive finish “tremendous metal” with wonderful edge retention and toughness. It’s not a stainless-steel, however the cerakote (ceramic coating) protects the blade from rust. The 940 is Benchmade’s most iconic mannequin, and that is principally a customized/upgraded model of it. Benchmade is without doubt one of the two high US knife producers for mid-high finish manufacturing knives (together with Spyderco), they usually’re well-known for his or her Axis lock.
