Benchmade 940 Osborne is a popular knife for everyday carry (EDC), featuring a blade made of CPM-30V powder steel and anodised aluminium handle scales. However, the most interesting thing about it is that it was designed by Warren Osborne himself. Users appreciate its light and functional construction and quality materials, which make it exceptionally reliable.
Its satin-finished blade has a length of 86 mm and is made from American stainless steel CPM-S30V hardened to 58-60 HRC, which offers high sharpness, mechanical strength and handles corrosion well. Thanks to the high vanadium carbide content, it is also highly resistant to impact and wear. Along the entire length of the blade runs a plain edge with a black teflon coating that protects it from minor scratches.
Thanks to the wide blade with a reverse tanto tip, the knife has ideal cutting and penetrating properties, making it a highly versatile tool for a wide range of tasks.
The blade can be deployed one-handed using the ambidextrous thumb stud. In the open position, the blade is secured by the ambidextrous axis lock mechanism.
The ergonomic handle consists of two scales made of anodised aircraft-grade aluminium 6061-T6, whose surface features a lanyard hole and a clip allowing the knife to be carried on a pocket or belt.
