Money aside you can have one purchase for the year what you getting between these 2.
Like the question suggests my goal for 2026 is to only buy one knife this year and I am stuck deciding between these two which would you go with for your only purchase of 2026?
As long as I can change the scaled, Benchmade every time, of course.

Manix 2, and this is from someone who owns both a Manix 2 and a BM 940. (And have modded both)

Manix 2 and it ain’t even close.
Manix 2 has been, currently is, and always will be da way.

Honestly, depends on how hard you’re Guna use it. The manic wasn’t my favorite spydie, but I just didn’t fall in love with the 940 as much as I wanted to, I’d go with the manix personally. Especially it being salt series.
FWIW, it’s not one of the given options but if I can only pick one, it would be a shaman or pm2, or a BM 950, but good luck finding a 950 at a decent price nowadays.

No question.
Kinda 2 different knives really.
I have both of those knives and wouldn’t dare grab an Benchmade over a Spyderco.
Between those 2, Manix easily for me.
Definitely the 940. Very cool LE release that is becoming hard to find. That Manix will always be available.

My Manix 2 in M4 is one of my absolute favorites. Unlike the 940, it actually has proper slicing geometry.
