The Benchmade Proxy 928 is a Warren Osborne designed monolock flipper that pairs a G10 front scale with a solid titanium lock side. Its 3.87" satin CPM-20CV drop point blade rides on thrust bearing washers for a fast, smooth flip, and the highly modernized look makes it as much a showpiece as a hard-working EDC and tactical folder.
