Over the years their lineup has expanded to include everything from some of the world’s best-regarded EDC knives for people who just want a trustworthy tool to shove in their pocket (Griptilian, 940) all the way to automatic and out-the-front knives that see duty in some of the harshest areas in the world in the military daily.

Picking just one Benchmade’s as the “best” in production is tough, and whittle this list down is a struggle – but here’s Knife Informer’s take on the best Benchmade Knives.The Warren Osborne-designed 940 series is one of the most popular Benchmade lines and is widely considered by knife enthusiasts to be one of the best everyday-carry knives ever made.  It’s offered in a variety of different materials as well as the spinoff 943 variant, to suit a number of tastes.The appeal of the 940 is twofold: one, it’s thin and it’s light – the standard aluminum handled 940 weighs 2.90 ounces, while the carbon fiber 940-1 is only 2.4 oz and the G-10 handled 940-2 is 2.65 oz.  Two, the unique blade shape: the reverse tanto tip is unorthodox but effective, offering a tip that’s at an acute enough angle to pierce well but with enough metal behind the edge to not break easily.

All 940’s use the Axis Lock and feature an ambidextrous tip-up oriented pocket clip.  The original 940 comes with anodized green aluminum handles and a bright purple geared backspacer, with CPM-S30V blade steel and your choice of satin or black finish, and a plain edge or partially serrated blade.  The 940-1 is an upgraded model that’s the priciest of the bunch at about $260 retail, with contoured carbon fiber scales, anodized blue standoffs, and a satin finished CPM-S90V blade.

The newest addition is the 940-2 which is $20 cheaper than the original 940 and features contoured G10 handles and an S30V blade.  If you’re not into the reverse tanto blade shape there’s also the 943, which has a hollow ground clip point blade and black anodized aluminum handles.  The 940 is one of those just-right EDC knives that does something for everyone: top shelf materials, light, great in the pocket, a strong lock, and choices for every preference.
