Product Description
The Benchmade 940 Osborne is the knife that set the standard for slim, all-day EDC carry — and this Instructor Series variant in green 6061-T6 aluminum gives it a working identity that separates it from the standard catalog.
The blade is CPM-S30V, the steel that defined what a production EDC folder could be: genuine edge retention through months of daily use, solid corrosion resistance, and easy enough to touch up at home that you'll actually maintain it. The reverse tanto profile keeps mass at the tip for puncture tasks while preserving a long, usable belly for everyday cutting. Hollow ground, satin finished, 3.40 inches. The AXIS Lock deploys and closes one-handed from either side — fully ambidextrous, rated for forces that would fail a liner lock, and reversible clip for left- or right-hand carry at 2.90 oz.
Available exclusively through authorized Benchmade dealers including Knifeworks, with same or next business day shipping from Columbia, Louisiana.
