Benchmade OM 4850BK – 2.47" DLC CPM-S30V Micro OTF Automatic
The ultimate low-profile OTF, blacked out. Weighing in at under two ounces, the Benchmade OM 4850BK was part of Benchmade's first micro-OTF family, pairing an anodized 6061-T6 aluminum chassis with a 2.47" DLC-coated 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 it 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 4850BK
What is a micro OTF knife like the Benchmade OM 4850BK?
OTF stands for out-the-front. The Benchmade OM 4850BK 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 4850BK work?
The Benchmade OM 4850BK 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.
What is the difference between the Benchmade OM 4850BK and the 4850?
The Benchmade OM 4850BK wears a black DLC coating on its CPM-S30V blade for a stealthier look and added corrosion resistance, while the standard 4850 has a satin finished blade. The platform is otherwise identical.
Is the Benchmade OM 4850BK discontinued?
Yes. Benchmade has discontinued the OM series, so the Benchmade OM 4850BK is a collector-grade knife available only while remaining dealer stock lasts.
Is it legal to own the Benchmade OM 4850BK?
Automatic knife laws vary by state, county, and city. Many states allow OTF automatics like the Benchmade OM 4850BK, while others restrict carry or ownership. Always check your local laws before ordering.
Does Benchmade sharpen the OM 4850BK for free?
Yes. The Benchmade OM 4850BK 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 4850BK?
