The 945 is the 940 scaled down — same reverse tanto geometry, same AXIS lock, same green anodized billet aluminum, in a knife that weighs 2 ounces flat and opens to 6.76".
The size difference matters more than the numbers suggest. The full-size 940 is a knife you notice in a pocket. The Mini is one you forget about, which for a lot of people means it is the one that actually gets carried. Blade drops from 3.4" to 2.92" — still plenty for anything an everyday knife gets asked to do.
CPM-S30V blade, satin finish, stainless and low-maintenance. $25 under the full-size version.
