Just picked up a Benchmade 940-1 Osborne as my EDC.

All I can say about this thing is WOW. The carbon fiber handle is amazing, and extremely light. The STEEL. Just.... So many times better than any of my other blades. I used to think AUS8 steel was tough... It's like comparing an asthmatic knowledge-bowler to a linebacker.

I'll post up a picture once I get a decent edge on it. I put a quick edge on it last night (the factory edge was pretty garbage, really) but I gotta break out my diamond hones to get it proper. I think I'm going to take the angle down a bit, too, as a 25 degree edge on S90V steel is a waste.
