A limited Taiga Green run of the 940, and Benchmade has already set it to discontinue on December 31, 2026. When dealer stock is gone, that is the end of it.
The blade is CPM-S90V under an FDE PVD Battlewash finish — a flat earth tone rather than the usual black, tumbled so wear blends in. S90V is the high-vanadium stainless that also runs in the carbon fibre 940-1: long edge life, no corrosion worries. Taiga Green anodized 6061-T6 handles with burnt copper hardware.
At $325 it sits between the black G10 version and the carbon fibre one. The steel is the same as the $350 model; what you are paying the difference for over the base 940 is that steel, and what you are paying it against is a clock.
