Pocket Knife Benchmade 940 Osborne

This Benchmade 940 Osborne is an absolute classic when it comes to EDC’s. This agile and extremely robust pocket knife is designed by the late Warren Osborne, a well-known custom knife maker who -being a down-to-earth country man- combined design with practical use and durability.

As material for the blade, the choice fell on CPM S30V steel. This is a powdered steel where the different ingredients aren’t blended in one molten mass, but are mixed in powdered form, making for a better homogeneity. They’re heated near melting point, making them come together as a whole in a different way than in a conventional melting process. In this case, more hardness can be created (HRC 58-60). The steel is very corrosion resistant and incredibly hardwearing, making for a great edge retention.

The blade of the Benchmade 940 Osborne has a reversed tanto point, making the point very strong and enabling it to be suitable for a wide range of purposes. You can open the blade one-handed by means of a thumb stud, after which it clicks into Benchmade’s own secure Axis lock. This is a hardened steel pin that moves in slots in both handle plates, to slide behind a wedge on the blade’s tang.

For the handle, strong and light aluminium is chosen, which has a great stiffness. It’s anodised in stylish dark green, which -together with the satin blade finish- makes the Benchmade 940 Osborne a very distinguished pocket knife.

The pocket knife features a tip-up pocket clip that can be mounted both left and right.
