    I discovered the 940’s through watching your video’s. I bought one for myself. You don’t have to turn your back on the 940 just because you got a new knife. The 940 holds this distinction, “it is a working mans knife” with no frills or excuses. It’s nice to get a knew knife capable of being an every day knife. However don’t DIS my 940!

    First, I am a huge benchmade fan and own several. I was so excited when the bugout came out and I loved it, but I couldn’t let myself buy one because of the handle. I think if they made a g-10 or aluminum scaled model, it would be the perfect EDC. It gives me the “fizz” but I’m holding out for an updated model. 🤞
    You should check out the Grizzly Ridge, the material is extremely grippy and will hold it in your pocket, even when using a pocket clip.

    My go to knife for the last 14 years has been my Kershaw Leek. It was a gift from my late grandfather in law, and I've been carrying it all these years. I recently bought my sister, mom, and father in law new Benchmade knives for Christmas and they all love them. I also got my brother a Kershaw Leek like mine but with the carbon fiber handle scales. I've had my knife so long that I can't justify using anything else until it either fails or breaks.
    I periodically buy new knives when one really catches my eye, but most of those end up in a box of knives in my collection. My leek is all I need for now, it's become a part of me.

  • @cryomancer20x68
    @cryomancer20x68 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    FYI the real reason for the pocket clip existing is that in some states (like GA for example) any blade over 3" you need to have a concealed weapons permit to carry in your pocket. If you leave the clip on the outside of the pocket, the blade technically isn't concealed and will allow you to legally carry a larger knife without a license.

    I only have a few EDC knives (I'm a user, not a collector), but the bugout is definitely next on my list. It really strikes a balance that nothing else I own does. As nice as the blue is, I am hoping for some more color choices. A stonewashed blade with a nice forest green handle and thumb stud would be very nice. Are you listening, Benchmade?

  • @DavidS11
    @DavidS11 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I've had the Bugout for a couple months now, I don't even notice it when I have it on me. I've got the same coyote tan that they sent you. I had to work on the screw a little bit(it was a bit tight and couldn't release it with a flick) and add some thread locker to avoid it backing up. The clip is perfect and I always use it(i don't go out on the bush), maybe the only bad thing about this knife is that sometimes, in certain applications the handle feels weak and you can see it flexing, but I don't think it's going to break unless you use it as a prybar. I'm curious to know if it would be better with G10
    The black finish on the blade has some traction, so for cutting thick carboard the plain stainless steel finish is better.
    This is one of my 2 EDC knife, the other one is a Kershaw Skyline, identic blade shape

May go above $100 sooner than $200, but it's going to have to be a special knife.

    I bought my bugout as a lightweight camping/backpack knife originally but after I got it and carried it as my edc for a few days, I retired both my Spyderco PM2 and Benchmade 940. I know the general complaints about the bugout is that the scales feel weak and flex but honestly, they’re very tough and it’s hard to beat how lightweight and comfortable this thing sits in your pocket.

      @@MrOzzy281 because that's all the negative he said about it so he obviously doesn't own one. And I don't know what "most" 940 owners use them for but in a user roll the bugout blade is more practical than the 940s because it is thinner behind the edge and not so wedge shaped. It slices through all kinds of material much better than the 940.

  • @SneakySolidSnake
    @SneakySolidSnake 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    oddly enough, i made the reverse decision about blade shape. i love the 940 shape compared to the drop point blade profile of the new one. i had a gerber that i've mentioned on your gerber factory tour video, but i wanted to experience an american premium product. after much hesitation i finally took the plunge and bought the 940. i never noticed a lack of a point with what i use it for, but the strength of the blade impressed me. it is strong and smooth and feels more like gemstone than metal to me. the long, thin, beefy blade appeals to me. the only con is the brown handle. when i was sharpening it for the first time the stone ate away the paint revealing the beautiful aluminum handle. i sand papered it off leaving only the purple stripe at the top. it is absolutely the most beautiful knife i could imagine now. since there is no accounting for taste, i hope you love your new knife, don't be afraid to pop open them paint cans with that thin tip now. ;)

Have had for years now, been wacking woods with it for trail clearing, shooting lanes, etc, and then touching it up a bit for the steak dinner. Copy of the Lion steel.

  • @rekozma

    I have them both and I carry them in rotation. I can tell you that the bugout is a great knife but the 940 gains character as time goes by. Ever scratch,nick and mark the hand gains is a story. The bugout has plastic handles and will never gain that kind of detaiil. My suggestion. Give the 940 to your son. If you pass it down to your son he will have something to remind him how hard his father works and the respect of having his father's once most important tool. Just a suggestion.

    Funny thing about those modern plastic handled knives. I never was a fan of them but, about six years ago, I picked up a $30 plastic handled Leatherman at Walmart. I really didn't like it at first. But then it really grew on me and it is the primary knife I reach for to clip to my pocket for my everyday needs. There's something about the simplicity, lightness, durability and easy cleaning that just works. No separate little pieces do get loose or collect dirt. The texture is great for most, if not all conditions. Funny how that happens sometimes. You have two beautiful knives there. Thanks for showing them to us and remember, all knives have a story and there is always a valid reason why you bought a particular one at the time. Keep it and rotate their use because they all deserve appreciation.

    I saw the Bugout on a Blade HQ best EDC knives video last year and it looked great. the instant I saw one in the store I held it and it was a done deal. I've carried it for over a year now and there hasnt been a day go by that I dont carry it, use it, flip it for fun, tell others about it, etc. I honestly feel like it's the perfect knife. I will buy a sand color one when I'm ready to send this one in for sharpening because I can't imagine being without one for a day. The shape, profile, build, weight, blade material, pocket clip, action, lock, are all perfect. And its not so aggressive looking that you pull it out to open a box that you scare people away. I have more conversations about the knife started with me than any other that i've ever carried.

    I like it, and would certainly take one if offered, but as far as value-for-$ goes, I think it's hard to beat my Cold Steel GoldenEye. $20 or so less than the Bugout, has S35VN steel, nice and thin, and has the tri-ad lock, which I could hang from (180lbs). Loving it!

    I saw this video a while back and have never been a fan of the Bugout. You are the reason I bought my first Benchmade about 5 years ago though. I bought a 941 on your recommendation and I absolutely love it. I just got in the mail today from Benchmade my custom Mini Crooked River. I hunt a good deal and I can't wait to take this thing out into the field.

    These are user knives. The patina they get over the years is a thing of beauty in my opinion. Will probably never own a benchmade knife because of the cost, but they seem to have designers that really hit the mark with their designs. Don't loose that knife Cody, it's a beauty. Ray, Oklahoma

  • @JosephMassimino
    @JosephMassimino 5 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have more than a few Benchmade knives, and they are one one brand that never disappoints me. But i carry a SOG Twitch, which I sharpen on a Chef mate knife sharpener. It cuts like a razor. I use to carry a Benchmade but it was bigger and heavier. The SOG has a clip, and I clip it inside my pocket. Granted, I don't open paint cans with it, but i do open mail, and use it to cut most anything. The SOG has a locking mechanism that not only locks open, it can lock closed as well, meaning you can't open it until you release the lock. That was to keep it from opening in my pocket. It also cost a fraction of what I paid for many of my Benchmade knives. I bought 4 of them from China via Ali express. That was after I got one from a Walmart, and liked it a lot. Then I lost it when they took form me as I entered a court house, and I forgot to ask for it back as I left. That would have been different if it was one of my Benchmade's.

  • @traditionaltools5080

    Twenty minutes in and I do t know what this video is about. About 15 years ago I bought a Buck ultralight. Linerless plastic handle and 440 blade. It's been sharpened to death, broke the tip, cut shingles, pounded through chip board and is still going strong. The bugout seems like a better version of that with a lifetime warranty. Plus better steel.
    That being said, I wouldn't pay for either the bugout or 940. :)

    I have a first run production bugout #450 and it's amazing. Its held up very well. Amazing blade, good fit and finish, and it's just the right size. Only downfall the handle feels flimsy compared to the 940. Great for EDC but not as strong as the 940 or griptillian. I'm going to school to become a gunsmith, work on a farm, and run heavy equipment and use it everyday and its held up to all the abuse I could throw at it.

Their designs are also really pleasing vs spyderco or zt. Knowing I can beat my knife , and just pay 5 bucks to ship it to Oregon so they can polish it up when needed is all I need from a knife.

Then about 3 weeks went by, My Mom was over and my girls (Wifey Daughter ) were planting flowers and all of a sudden my 2r old says poppa poppa look look !,, my mom turns around And low and behold in a shrub hanging on the smallest branch my knife is hanging there my daughter saw it I didn’t hear her at first as I was carrying a large bag of potting soil on my shoulder . I smile and say well I have two now :) then I was lectured by my Mother for leaving a sharp knife where my daughter could get I also,no longer use the belt clip.

    Trying to compare the two totally different configurations is a stretch at best. Listen, I loved the Bugout when I handled it, but I can't help but like it less for having watched this gooshy, gushy, "review." Roman columns??? The lanyard hole felt "sporty?" I was laughing out loud.

    Everybody has their favorite. I finally add a _Black Kat_ to my collection and realized I loved the thing but wanted stainless steel so I did some checking and got one in stainless steel. Not a pry bar but it does great on food prep and cutting up steaks. It is a lock back even though it dates back till about 1863 or there about. I can open it one handed if I want to though it clearly is not designed to do that.

    I purchased a 940 due to your influence a wile back. I have enjoyed the 940 quite a wile now! I carried a spyderco endura4 with the plastic scales. When using the endura 4 one day I felt the scales bending under torsion. Obviously there not made for such abuse however I went straight back you the 940 with the ridged handle that would take much more strain! I really enjoy and carry my 940 every day! Just something to consider when caring a plastic handled knife. I have since purchased aftermarket aluminum scales for my endura 4. If I were to get a bugout I would have to get aluminum or titanium aftermarket handles. The slight increase in weight would be well worth it! Really enjoy watching your videos and the quality of entertainment!
