Product Description
The Benchmade 940-2 Osborne takes one of the most beloved EDC designs ever made and wraps it in rugged black G-10 — Warren Osborne's iconic reverse tanto folder with proven CPM-S30V steel and grippy, durable scales built for hard everyday carry.
The 3.40-inch blade is crafted from CPM-S30V, the proven workhorse steel that has anchored Benchmade's lineup for over two decades. Produced through Crucible's particle metallurgy process, CPM-S30V delivers a dependable balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance — sharp out of the box, easy to maintain, and ready for any everyday cutting task. The satin finish showcases the blade's clean lines and the distinctive reverse tanto profile — the signature of the Osborne design, placing a strong, acute point exactly where you need it for piercing and detail work while keeping a long, useful straight edge for everyday cutting.
The black G-10 handle is what sets the 940-2 apart from the original aluminum 940. G-10 is a glass-fiber laminate prized for its durability, grip, and resistance to moisture and temperature — adding a more textured, secure hold and a tougher, more utilitarian feel than anodized aluminum. The result is the legendary Osborne ergonomics in a configuration built to take a beating, with Benchmade's ambidextrous AXIS Lock delivering smooth one-handed operation and rock-solid lockup.
