Love this knife! Had it about 3 years now and RARELY carry any other knife now. |

I went through a knife phase. Started with Benchmade, ZT and Spyderco stuff then moved to midtechs and customs that I actually would use and carry. Price range was $400-$1000. Went through about twenty different expensive knives then just lost interest because I figured out that owning a Spyderco Military, Para Military 2 and Manix 2 gives me everything I need and a little variety to choose from day to day. If I break or lose one I can buy a replacement for $100 or less on any knife forum.
If I could only have one knife it would be the Spyderco Manix 2. Its a close race with the Para 2 but the Manix has a stouter blade that I like. The Para is about perfect for EDC though. If you are into sprint runs you can go crazy with all three models and the different steel/scale colors. One day I'll have an orange military just because. |

View Quote Thanks for trying, I contacted them the other day and they said they no longer carry it. (You'd think they would update the page to say out of stock) |

S110V PM2 /thread View Quote My GF gave me this for Valentine's Day. While not an 'auto,' nor an 'assisted' knife, it deploys quickly in my casual fiddling. The sharp point might be an issue in certain 'duties,' but it has a nice steel and it's a looker with those cobalt blue scales. I'm looking at the Manix 2 with the same G10 scales and steel. I'm looking at a couple of other PM IIs, because I think that they're a capable, but elegant looking knife. I'd like one in ELMAX, Carpenter 204P, or S35vn. Chris |

To me, that's a nice looking knife. I like the purple back spacer, although I think that the blade is a bit short in belly, it appears nicely shaped.
I like the green handles as well. Chris |

It is hard to beat a Protech auto for fit, finish, durability, and super tight lockup. This one is the perfect size blade, built for use, and meets all your criteria. I have many protechs and they are great knives!

I think I've Decided I want to buy the 940bk Great choice. Love my 940-1 http://i647.photobucket.com/albums/uu199/starscr34m/osbornemon_zpscnracfg0.jpg Is that Both the Contego and the 940!?? I am still having a hard time deciding which one I want. I really want both, but can't get both right now. Which one do you carry the most? Could you give me some more "side by side" comparisons!? You wouldn't happen to have a Spyderco Tenaceous? I only ask because I switched back to my tenacious while waiting on replacing my stolen knife. If you do, would you be able to throw that in the mix as well just for size comparison of both. I've been pretty impressed with torture tests I've seen for the Contego M4 steel. My main concern is the "grip" on the 940, I don't want it to get too "slick" over years of use. |

I lose an EDC pocket knife roughly once every 6 months. Nothing I can do about it.
So now I just keep buying the cheap Kershaw assisted opening knives like this: http://www.amazon.com/Kershaw-1835TBLKST-Folding-SpeedSafe-Serration/dp/B0074FDKN8 Or this http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0057R8SSM/ref=pd_aw_sim_200_1?ie=UTF8&dpID=41Ab4Ef-fpL&dpSrc=sims&preST=_AC_UL300_SR300%2C300_&refRID=11YAHWP5DPMM08Z1YRDA I know you wanted to spend 100-200, but these will cut the shit outta shit, stay sharp, open fast, and I don't curse the gods (much) when I lose them. I've had more expensive knifes that werent any better. |

I'm surprised I don't have more of the two together. |

Sorry, got held up so I did this in a hurry so not great lighting . http://i647.photobucket.com/albums/uu199/starscr34m/bestbuds_zpsvtdmvarg.jpg http://i647.photobucket.com/albums/uu199/starscr34m/ooo_zpsb5sbattz.jpg http://i647.photobucket.com/albums/uu199/starscr34m/open_zpszibsmw6r.jpg http://i647.photobucket.com/albums/uu199/starscr34m/closedback_zpsqr5sow5n.jpg If there are any other angles you'd like to see let me know. They're great knives on a little bit different ends of the spectrum View Quote Thanks man! I really appreciate it!!! I think you nailed it on the angles, other than seeing a pocket shot while they ride in the pockets. This really helped! Especially in some of those angles I think it helped solidify my decision on the 940. Which one do you carry the most? |

The 940 with the std clip projects up and out of the pocket just a bit, with a deep concealed clip it disappears and you don't hardly know it's in your pocket. The grip on the handle has never really been an issue or gotten slick and I've used mine for a very long time doing all sorts things. It's a good choice unless you prefer a the more pointy 943.

View Quote Thanks man! I think I'm pretty set on the 940. The more I look at it the more I want it! I saw a picture of one next to a Spyderco Tenacious (the one I'm currently carrying) and I think I like the size a lot!! Was concerned it would be too small. I think the Contego would be a great knife and I'd love it, but would be a little too big for EDC. |

Especially in some of those angles I think it helped solidify my decision on the 940. Which one do you carry the most? Probably the 940-1, I do a carry rotation that's based on what I'm doing. If I'm going to be outdoors more I'll work the Contego in more, especially for yard work. If I'm going to be around town or relaxing the 940-1 or 943. They're great all purpose knives. They really pack a lot of blade into a smallish knife. |

Pretty excited!! I have no experience with their folders but I've heard nothing but good things. I've got one of their Saddle Mountain skinners and I LOVE IT! Fantastic knife and skins and quarters deer like butter!! I've been a Spyderco guy for quite a long time and haven't carried a knife with a thumb stud for quite a while so that's someth I've been nervous about with changing from a Spyderco and their Spyder hole. |

Just contacted bench made and they are sending me out a deep pocket clip! Sweet!!
