Benchmade Osborne 943SBK – The 940's Clip Point Sibling in All Black
The Benchmade 943SBK Osborne takes everything people love about the legendary 940, the slim profile, the ambidextrous AXIS lock, the 2.90 ounce carry weight, and swaps the reverse tanto for a classic clip point blade. This SBK version wears a black-coated CPM-S30V blade with a partially serrated combo edge and black anodized aluminum handles for a stealthy all-black build. Made in the USA and carried daily for over a decade, the 943 performs in just about any situation imaginable.
