The Benchmade 950 Rift is Warren Osborne's original hard-use folder, known for its distinctive reverse-tanto profile and confident ergonomics. The 3.67" blade is ground from 154CM stainless steel with a satin finish and a plain edge, deployed and secured by the fast, ambidextrous AXIS lock. Textured black G10 scales give the Benchmade 950 Rift a grippy, tactical feel. This model is discontinued, so a clean Benchmade 950 Rift is a great pickup for Osborne and AXIS-lock collectors.
