I bought one from them, it shipped fast and didnt have any problems with it. Good knife but if i had to buy another one it woukd be the one without the double ...opener flick things at the bottom of the blade. Its too wide and scratches your hand when you put it in your pocket.

The picture is wrong and you will probably receive the wrong knife if you order it. This happened to me

I got lucky and got one of the old ones with the silver on the outside, although the case-wrapper-sheath is black and had me worried there for a bit. The manufacturer says he is changing them over on a rolling basis. He should make a different SKU number for such an important change. And Amazon should enforce that.

Well, they shouldn't be using that photo to sell the knife if it's not the one you get. I want that particular version and it shouldn't be like playing the lottery when buying a knife.

It's being sold by a marketplace dealer, but the stock is being stored and shipped by Amazon. I've bought plenty of high-end knives through Amazon, and never had a problem. The specs are all correct, the model numbers are right, and the price is about where you'd expect; I purchased mine through Amazon.ca, but I'd have no concerns about buying it here. In the slight chance there is a problem, you can always send it back for a full refund.

It's impossible to say when you're dealing with the Internetj, but you already know that. Just make sure you can return it if it's fake. Regarding the price, it's not too low. I paid about $179 for mine at a local gun shop a few years ago, so $169 is about right. Benchmade has been making the 940 for 10 years, so I wouldn't expect to pay MSRP anywhere. If it's a fake, it's not because of the price.

I had the ZDP version for about a year and a half. Just traded it to a friend and bought the VG-10 version. I can keep my kitchen VG-10 knives sharp with an Arkansas stone and a strop. Had to send the old Dragonfly back to Spyderco for sharpening. That's free with a $5 shipping charge, which is a great deal. Still, I prefer to be able to sharpen my own knives.

The ones straight from Cold Steel's site are 1st pick swords, guaranteed to be of the highest quality. The ones you find elsewhere MIGHT be of that quality, but are likely "seconds". It's not an uncommon practice for companies to sell their seconds elsewhere for cheaper. Often they have minor deficiencies. It's a bit of a gamble.

To anyone concerned about getting the wrong item. If you're wanting the grip that is compatible with the 1000 model vita make sure that it says that in the description and that the seller is TOTALCONSOLE. I've bought two from them on two different occasions with several months between the purchases and they got it both times. Over a year ago when I got my original one, the description was for the 1000 model but I was sent the wrong one made for the slim model from another vendor. TOTALCONSOLE knows whats up.

If you go back to Amazon to the site ad for your product & click on the picture it will bring up an information box that should answer you questions. The product I purchased was a similar Gerber (22-01463) & I can highly recommend it! That particular knife goes with me camping & is kept in my Go Bag. Hope this helps. Amazon is an excellent company to do business with. If for any reason you're not happy with your purchase, they take returns. Be safe out there. Alan

OK. Heres the deal. I ordered my blade and it was perfect. Then I ordered a Gerber Auto. When I received it the tip was slightly ground incorrectly. I called the seller, and did some research. What I learned was that Gerber can be a little loose on their quality control. Out of every ten blades one will be off. Bottom line is that if your unhappy with what you paid for then I would either return it, or exchange it. Be very clear that the tip is slightly bent, and that you would like one that isn't. That way they won't send you another that is bent. If this is a private seller than he should know exactly what your talking about, even if he's playing a little dumb. Good Luck! OK. Heres the deal.

I purchased mine on amazon and am confident it is. The Cabelas price was very close but obviously this saved me a drive. Those are the two least expensive retailers I've found for this particular knife.

I ordered the 40520 as well and received the 47520 as you did. I don't like the idea of ordering a product based on picture and item code and receiving a different knife.

New version of the same knife. If you go on gerber's website you will see the knife with the updated version. Check out esee knives though. I returned mine to amazon after getting two replacements from Gerber. I wouldn't recommend this knife
