I assume this isn't violating any forum rules since I didn't post a link?

I dig that forest green g10, wish it were an upgrade in the steel department though

Yep, they will have a 15/20% coupon or deal eventually. I have a guy who gets coupons twice a year and I already got on his list for one, but it's 4 months from now.

Looks much better than the black g10 one but I wish they would go back and make some more bright colored aluminum models like the old days

I like it. Got the green, got the purple, with the flow-through construction and the G10 scales of the -2 series. I'll have to go fondle one at the REI up the street sometime soon.

The 943 does not get enough love there are basicly no one-offs for it and such not to say I prefer it myself but I do think it deserves some variations out there. I do like this and my only gripe would be that the steel wasn't any type of upgrade kinda disappointed in that but not a big deal given the price is so near the normal 940-2.

I dig it. It fixes the main issue I have with the 940, which is the aluminum handle. I've just never been fond of the feel of them.

Funny how that is. I have mid techs and very high end production gold class benchmades with cf and titanium and I still think a regular aluminum 940 feels better.

You 943 guys get no respect.

I don't think the complaint is against S30V but that a special version being nothing more than recolored is a bit of a let down. The Going Gear version for example has CPM-20CV for it's blade steel. It is more about something different than something "better" because right now all you get from the REI version is Green G-10 and Purple/Magenta Backspacers.
