Just got a beater 940 and upgraded to some copper scales I forgot I had.

I was sold on scales of the 940-1601 versus the other 940 models. But I couldn't help myself I still ended up tweaking the appearances a little with zirconium thumbstuds and titanium standoffs.
Where did you find thumbstuds?
I got them from ticonnector.com. You will also need to order the threaded connector to use the thumbstuds. The connectors need to be trimmed down to size and tweaked a little to fit.
And your 940 is thinking ...Out clearing brush. No not with the 940. I'm carrying the 940. I used a chain saw on the brush

Brand new 945 is real nice, although personally I like uncoated blades. This black ceracoat creates friction when slicing through some mediums. Still, this is the first modern folder I've purchased in ~7 years, been interested only in traditionals the past while.
