The Benchmade 950-1 Rift is a bold, Warren Osborne designed folder built for hard everyday and tactical use. Its 3.67" reverse-tanto blade is ground from 154CM stainless steel with a satin finish, backed by the fast, ambidextrous AXIS lock. Contoured black G10 handle scales give the Benchmade 950-1 Rift a secure, aggressive grip. This model is discontinued, making a clean Benchmade 950-1 Rift a solid find for Osborne and AXIS-lock fans.
