I really like those scales. I wouldn't mind seeing that CF on a 943-1. 0 -

Can't believe they dropped the ball AGAIN with the silver axis lock. Went to order one and luckily saw that first 0 -
Features: DLC coated M390 super premium stainless steel blade. Red anodized aluminum thumb stud. AXIS locking mechanism. Red resin-infused carbon fiber handles. Grey PVD chromium nitride coated barrel spacers. DLC coated reversible, tip-up, deep- carry pocket clip 0 -
And a big silver axis lock out of the parts bin, other than that it would have been one I bought 0 -
I like the design of the carbon fiber handles. Red axis would have popped nicely! 0 -
2.88 ounces, I believe. 0 -
Grabbed two. Hope they are as good as they look. Anybody do custom dlc work? I'm gonna have two axis lock bars to dlc.. oh and u get a free benchmade t shirt with order. Pics to come. 0 -
At $323 (list), they couldn't have a black Axis??? 0 -
@Benchmade -- Is this one officially "940DLC-1802" or "940-1802"? I see both on the SMKW website. 0 -
I was under the impression that exclusive runs are configured by request from the dealer, in this case SMKW. Maybe Jason could shed some light on that. 0 -
M390 No wonder Jason said he liked it.
-1802So TDOGG, Bill Hammer and other 940 lovers are getting two limited editions this year? Nice.0 -

Just a response to "Benchmade dropped the ball" regarding silver axis lock.0 -

Me, too. Regardless, red thumb-studs, gray DLC standoffs, black scale screws...and satin Axis? It's not a huge deal, but still not the most cohesive choice.0 -

None announced yet, but with this being -1802 there should be a -1801 out there. Last year’s limited edition grips had the -1702 come out before the -1701. Both were M390 just with different handles and barrel spacers. I am hoping that the 940-1801 sticks with the M390, but uncoated. Only Jason knows, I guess.
Looking forward to seeing both at Blade in your bags o’ 940s.0 -
Numbered LE or “unlimited” LE? 0 -

Ahhh gotcha. Yes, they are configured by the dealers. I don't like black oxide on my studs, anyways.quote:Originally posted by TDOGG:

The silver axis lock looks so out of place, very nice otherwise. 0 -
Red. Ugly. So-called “deep carry” clip can, at least, be replaced with a better clip. Scales look great. If it was a 943 shape, I’d buy it in a heartbeat, despite the redness. Oh well. Can’t make everybody 100% happy. It’s be nice, however, if they’d throw the 943 fans a bone someday.... 0 -
I just added/updated a couple of real world photos to the first page of this thread.
Check ‘em out.0 -

Thanks, Marty.
Aaaand they make the silver Axis look even more out of place than in the promo pics.
Even so, to quote Redwood25, "If it were a 943 (blade), I'd buy it in a heartbeat." But not this 940.

Pics do look nice. As mentioned, there are things about this knife I like, and that I'm not crazy about (943 PLEASE!!!!!!!!).
But seriously? Not at this price point. Seriously. Not.0 -
I'd still have to buy one if it were a 943, as much b**ching as I've done.quote:Originally posted by Redwood25:

I’m personally on the fence about this one.
It’s a cool knife.
But it’s still a 940.
I’m not sure this will be the one to sway me.
On the other hand, these premium dealer exclusives are pretty awesome lately.0 -
Marketing it as a limited edition. But no real answers. 0
