Sure...metal is tougher in cold weather and wood is super brittle. DID YOU JUST PULL THAT OUT OF YOUR ASS? You're in a knife thread, for ****'s sake. Basic metallurgy 101, ever hear of it?
Looks like somebody skipped basic physics in high school.
Here, little boy, read some basic properties about metal before opening your mouth in a grown ups forum

And if there are more reasons, mind enlightening me? Oh wait, you can't cos you're full of **** lol.
Hi guys.
poison of admiring gets deeper and wan to explore the blade and handles in microscopic.
Anyone got lobang for usb microscope. Good quality one without the hefty price like the Dino lite premier with polarizer. The agent is selling 1.1k siao.
Haha
There are cheap ones on dx.com with pretty good resolution, unless you want something better
Portable USB 2.0 20X-800X 2MP Digital Microscope with 8-LED Illumination - Black Images - DX
Just sharing pics of my 940-1:

wow.. I realised.. u like it so much that u ordered 2? one for use, one for keep... like a old good wine..
What are the tolerances like? Is one smoother in deployment than the other?
For the USD$263.50, it's terribly poor-value for a knife. Functionality-wise, they are indifferent with smooth operation and works great as a cutting tool but when you are talking about fit & finish, they are terrible which I feel is very typical of Benchmade.
Flaws I feel that shouldn't be there at it's USD$263.50 price tag:
- inconsistent carbon fiber scale colour (both of mine are of different shade)
- inconsistent blue stand-off (both of mine are of different shade)
- the blade itself is not well grinded (see photo) (the other one is fine)
- inconsistent grind edge
- the clip dont even touch the scales (might not be secure when clipped to pocket)
- blades are not well-centered (both)
I feel that should be priced more in the USD$150 range...
I need to emphasize that when I say that such poor quality is typical of Benchmade it's from my personal experience. YMMV
If you want quality-per-dollar, better to stick with Spyderco(Japan and taiwan) and Zero Tolerance.
My personal rating in terms of fit and finish(QC):
1. Zero Tolerance (9/10)
2. Spyderco (Japan and Taiwan)(8/10)
3. Victorinox (7.5/10)
4. Spyderco (USA) (7/10)
5. Benchmade (5/10)
6. Leatherman (5/10)
If you're looking for the highest value-per-dollar knife, it would be the Manix2 S110V. It's simply a beast of a user knife.
Nice touch there including the point of reference. I see... Wow. I have to day that I am surprised that spyderco's outsourced blades have higher qc than the USA made ones... Have u considered a crk sebenza or umnumzaan? Perhaps if u r facing qc issues, u could consider switching up the game slightly.
