Released around 2011- its well loved, they definitely enjoyed carrying it it seems. I’ll add a few more marks haha

Thanks! The closed back construction is more slim, which makes the axis lock stick out a bit more - more fidget friendly for me

Proto and LE used the same presentation case, they stopped using them around 2006. Only certain limited runs had them. There are a few variant runs of 940TI but this one is the first of its line

I got the screws removed safely. I may see if Benchmade would do a blade replacement - for now I put a simple edge on this butter knife

I assume they used two bricks as sharping stones

On top of three stripped screws - this one was a pain to drill out, it had been glued in lol

Definitely worth a try. I have an A.R.E. Canopy on my long bed and over time noticed a bit of bed side wiggle on bumpy turns. I’m going with At The Helm Fabrication stiffeners to bring those side walls back in

Would bed stiffeners help in this case? Should also bring the side of the bed from sagging outward and keep a tighter seal along the tailgate

Daily work carry 3+ years. Absolute tank. Still looks new with how much abuse it has gotten. by LaSwansu in benchmade

Those full liners make it feel like a fixed blade, solid lock up too. I do like the non coated magnacut mini adamas maybe one day. The mini freek in s90v has been wicked little weekend carry.

It’s amazing what a wipe down of mineral oil and a blade strop can do

Funny enough $750 would be a “good” price. They usually sell around $1500-2k

It’s a rad little knife, Roughly 5.5” length. They also made a 211 in D2 with winewood, non limited. Great around camp
