Benchmade 940 Osborne Design - Axis Lock Folding Knife







Benchmade 940 Osborne Design - Axis Lock Folding Knife
The Benchmade 940 Osborne is one of the most recognized EDC folding knives in production. Designed by the late Warren Osborne, the 940 has been in continuous production for over two decades and remains one of Benchmade's best-selling models. The reverse tanto blade profile, green anodized aluminum handle, and purple titanium spacers give it an appearance that is instantly identifiable to knife enthusiasts.
The 3.40-inch blade is CPM S30V stainless steel at 58-60 HRC. S30V provides a well-proven balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance for a knife you will carry and use every day. The reverse tanto blade shape offers a strong tip with a long, flat cutting edge that handles precision work and everyday slicing with equal control. Ambidextrous thumb studs allow deployment from either hand. The AXIS lock engages cleanly and holds the blade securely open.
The handle is green anodized 6061-T6 aluminum with stainless steel liners. The aluminum construction keeps total weight at 2.9 ounces while providing a rigid, rattle-free platform. Purple anodized titanium barrel spacers with file work add a signature design detail. The reversible pocket clip supports left or right-hand tip-up carry. A lanyard hole is included. Closed length is 4.47 inches. Overall length is 7.87 inches.
The 940 is proudly made in the USA with a lifetime warranty and LifeSharp sharpening service. The Osborne design has earned its reputation over more than twenty years of production, and we have sold it for most of that time. Free US shipping on orders over $150, a satisfaction guarantee, and your order normally ships the same business day from KnifeArt.com.
Product Reviews
This is an icon for good reason. Great EDC due to lighter-weight, blade size and shape, materials, and Benchmade customer service backing everything. However, I love the Benchmade Axis Lock feature the most. Makes for a great fidget feature, easy, one-handed use, and surprisingly reliable. I gave my prior 940 to my brother several years ago, and I've missed it ever since. I never found a really alternative... without spending more than double.
