For me actually 940 turned out to be more slicy. Because Bugout is so thin and a wider blade, there is more friction and sometimes it stuck in a cardboard(when its a big piece), while 940 goes easy. Same with food, surprisingly even for a butter I liked 940 more which I didn’t expect. I was just testing them in a 10 days mountain trip and ended up doing everything with 940 cause so much more joy and comfort. Great review tho!
The 940 is more prone the splitting an apple and stuff like that though. But the 940 blade shaped is very useful and I will always love that strong tip
I thought my bugout CF elite would have beat out my 940. Back and forth over a few months...and the 940 wins for me. I plan on selling both my griptilians and both bugouts here before Christmas. The 940 is just MY best (with a snaggletooth opener installed)
I think I prefer your dog, but you're right, the Osborne is more stout. And I bought my green clip for the purpose, I think still it will be the Osborne. 😁😁👍👍
These knives aren’t even in the same league. They’re completely different knifes for completely different jobs. And the bugout is weak garbage with a nice blade and a good lock.
I love my 940. I bought the green S30V version in the video in 2016 for $140. That was a good deal considering that it was going for around $185 at that time. Have a great day.
I like them both940.I was surprised what I could do With it good blade shape. The Bugout is a lot tougher then I realized. Never issues with omega springs after 20 years several knives.I don't figet all day with them. Only issue with the 940 handle Is slippery with my dry hands.Good video
Hands down the 940 is the better knife, not even close. I have had 940's since about 2010 and still have my fist one along with a nice little collection. I have had several bugouts and sold them. They are not a solid enough knife to be used for real work. More of an office knife or a knife to carry when you don't expect to need a knife.
They aren't overpriced if you factor in the warranty and lifesharp service they offer with all their knives. You really can't beat that. Also, the 940 has set the gold standard in EDC pocket knives.
As a electrician our knives are used all the time. To be honest mostly at $10 razor knife. But there are times when you don’t have your knife on you so you use your pocket knife which in my case is a 940 I tried a 9400 but didn’t like the automatic not for work
@@jacksoncornbreadmcbride6763 I speak from experience. Living in the UK, it's no small inconvenience to send my 940 back not just once, but twice for this same problem. Many people have complained about it, so it's not just me.
@@sputumtubehuge issue here to send it back from Canada as well. Boarder services will likely confiscate any knife I send to America and keep it for themselves. (I mean destruction😂)

Just ordered my 940 I got rid of all my Benchmades but I just can’t live without my 940. Probly my fav folder of all time.

I've had a similar experience. Taller blades tend to bind in the cut more. Sometging like the 940 seems to part the material as you cut.

Great in depth comparison. It would have been helpful to see them cutting various things though

I'd add the 940 is just classic and exudes toughness.
I would agree !

It's TANto. Tonto was the Lone Ranger's sidekick.
Tanto is pronounced like tonto

Good point !!
@@RockyMountainEDC, Yes indeed. Thank you!
Like you said both are really good knives but I’m myself carrying 940 I required to have a little more strength and not so much razor sharpness
Agreed !!

940 is elite. Edc 3 years now.
Great content mate! Keep it up! Subbed!
Thanks for watching and thanks for the sub!! 👍
Winner, winner, chicken dinner! 940 🎉
The 940 is considered to be the best edc ever made the bugout is not nuff said
940 and nothing else for me!!!!!!
Good video.
Thanks for watching !!
Benchmade is not a knife, Benchmade is a scrwedriver, so thik behinde the edge, not a slicy 👎
940 all the way!
The Achilles heel in both these products are the woefully inadequate omega springs. The Axis lock is a strong design let down by the weak springs.
You're wrong. Sorry

@@sputumtube no issues for me or my friends. Maybe you need to open up the purse strings and stop buying China fakes. Ya get what ya pay for m'lad.

Isn’t it easy enough to keep spare springs and learn to change them yourself?
Does doing that void the warranty?
