Product Description

The Benchmade Osborne 940 940BK-03 is one of the most beloved EDC designs ever made — Warren Osborne's iconic reverse tanto folder, here elevated with a premium CPM MagnaCut blade and a striking burnt copper aluminum handle that pairs legendary ergonomics with top-tier modern steel.

The 3.40-inch blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut, Crucible Industries' purpose-designed particle metallurgy steel that delivers edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance simultaneously — a balance conventional steels force you to trade off against one another. Here that premium steel wears a black coating for a stealthy, non-reflective look and added wear resistance. The reverse tanto profile is the signature of the Osborne design: it places 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 burnt copper anodized aluminum handle gives this 940 a warm, distinctive metallic finish that stands apart from the standard lineup. Slim, light, and rigid, the aluminum scales deliver the comfortable, confidence-inspiring ergonomics that made the 940 a daily-carry icon. Benchmade's ambidextrous AXIS Lock rounds out the package — smooth one-handed operation, fully ambidextrous, and locked solid with no blade play.
