Benchmade 940-2 Osborne: Frequently Asked Questions
Answers to the most common questions about the Benchmade 940-2 Osborne Folding Knife (940-2).
How does the 940-2 differ from the original Benchmade 940?＋
While the original 940 features green anodized aluminum handles with a purple titanium backspacer, the 940-2 upgrades to lightweight Black G-10 handle scales, open-barrel construction with vibrant green anodized spacers, and a deep-carry pocket clip, weighing just 2.65 oz.
How does the AXIS Lock mechanism operate?＋
Benchmade's patented AXIS Lock utilizes a spring-loaded steel bar that slides forward and back in a slot milled into the handle liners. When opened via the dual thumb studs, the bar wedges over the rear tang of the blade for a rock-solid, fully ambidextrous lockup.

The 940-2 uses CPM-S30V powder metallurgy stainless steel, heat-treated to 58–60 HRC. It provides an optimal balance of edge holding, toughness, and stain resistance for daily cutting tasks.
