Benchmade Osborne 940BK – Black Blade Version of the Iconic 940
The Benchmade 940BK Osborne is the black-blade version of Warren Osborne's legendary 940, widely considered one of the most quintessential EDC folding knives ever made. Its 3.40 inch CPM-S30V modified reverse tanto blade wears a black coating for low glare and added corrosion resistance, while the slim green anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle keeps the whole knife at just 2.90 ounces. The fully ambidextrous AXIS lock, dual thumb studs, and reversible tip-up clip make it easy to carry and deploy with either hand.
