Benchmade OM 4850 – 2.47" CPM-S30V Micro OTF Automatic
The ultimate low-profile OTF. Weighing in at under two ounces, the Benchmade OM 4850 was Benchmade's first micro-OTF, pairing an anodized 6061-T6 aluminum chassis with a 2.47" satin CPM-S30V clip point blade. The dual-action spine-fire release button deploys and retracts the blade with one thumb, and the mini deep-carry clip keeps the whole package nearly invisible in a pocket.
The OM has been discontinued by Benchmade, which makes remaining factory-fresh examples like this one increasingly hard to find for EDC fans and collectors alike.

FAQ – Benchmade OM 4850
What is a micro OTF knife like the Benchmade OM 4850?
OTF stands for out-the-front. The Benchmade OM 4850 is a micro-sized OTF, meaning its 2.47" blade fires straight out of the front of a compact 3.4" handle instead of pivoting open like a folder.
How does the Benchmade OM 4850 work?
The Benchmade OM 4850 uses a dual-action spine-fire button: slide it forward to deploy the blade and back to retract it, all with one thumb and no wrist action.
Is the Benchmade OM 4850 discontinued?
Yes. Benchmade has discontinued the OM series, so the Benchmade OM 4850 is a collector-grade knife available only while remaining dealer stock lasts.
Is it legal to own the Benchmade OM 4850?
Automatic knife laws vary by state, county, and city. Many states allow OTF automatics like the Benchmade OM 4850, while others restrict carry or ownership. Always check your local laws before ordering.
Does Benchmade sharpen the OM 4850 for free?
Yes. The Benchmade OM 4850 is covered by Benchmade's LifeSharp service, which provides free professional cleaning and resharpening for the life of the knife.
Where can I buy the Benchmade OM 4850?
Going Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer, so every Benchmade OM 4850 we sell is factory-fresh and fully covered by Benchmade's warranty and LifeSharp service.
