Genuine.
There were no fakes of the regular green aluminum 940, only the 940-1.
Hey, I would own one if I had a wad of cash to throw at a knife I'll never use.
I recently picked up a Benchmade 940-1. You should look into that one if you dig high-quality knives that you can actually use on a daily basis. Love that knife. Carbon fiber and S90V steel.
> So I lost a $250+ Benchmade Osborne carbon fiber knife in the lake about 1 month after I got it.
Sorry. I got nothing for you. Except for a Amazon link; save up your change. ;p

Moral of the story: The handle is carbon-fiber and non-magnetic. The liners and blade are steel, and will stick to a magnet.
940-1 in carbon fiber with super super steel s90v.

Shop around. I know it is more expensive than the standard 940... But the 940 IMO is one of the best EDC knives there is(even though I keep mine on display rather than use....) and you will not regret it!

It's my every-day-carry and I have a lot of knives and used to sell knives.
Your CRKT is fine. If you want better steel and still a 4" folder, up your price and get something along the lines of
BM 940-1
It's got S90V steel, CF and it's a benchmade.
BM-710 is good too (it's what I use). D-2 steel but I think you can get it in a couple different steels.
Changing the steel isn't really going to help you cut those 2-3" branches much easier. You won't really notice.
If that's mostly what you want it for get some $15 pruning shears or something.
I know you said you didn't want a fixed blade but you should possibly reconsider if you only want to spend $100. You'd be able to get a kabar usmc or maybe a used ESEE-3.
