Cool. A refreshing design whose form exemplifies what custom knife maker Warren Osborne believes important function and quality. The Model 940 incorporates the exclusive AXIS locking mechanism for a functional smoothness that complements well the purity of the design style. A modified reverse tanto blade shape machined of S30V stainless steel, features dual thumb-stud openers for safe and easy ambidextrous access. The handle design is slender with a slight curvature and recessed contours for grip stability. Machined of aluminum and deep color anodized, the handle scales are a rich green color sparked by a color anodized titanium back spacer. The liners provide solid function for the AXIS lock and feature subtle finger treads for added blade control. A stainless steel carry-clip is movable to either handle side, making the Model 940 a 100-percent totally ambidextrous cutting tool. Contemporary design, innovative function and a higher standard of manufactured quality give the new Model 940 everything needed for superior form and function.

Aluminum Handles

S30V Stainless Steel
This incredibly popular stainless steel is one of the first powder-metal alloys developed specifically for use in cutlery. Thanks to its ability to hold an edge it remains a performance benchmark.
This knife found its way into my spare paint-pants. I thought I had lost it for about 9 months. I mourned the loss. Found it and was happy as a kid at Christmas. Super sharp. Feels great in the hand. I consider it a perfect gentleman's knife. But it can also do some fairly heavy work. My favorite knife.
Third Benchmade I have bought recently. Bugout 535BK-4 and 945BK1 came absolutely perfect. This though the blade is so off center its barely off the clip side scales. At first it looks like it is touching but with a flashlight you can see a very slight space that a piece of paper cant fit through. Pretty disappointed considering the price.
This thing is a classic for a reason. It's basically perfect for me for everyday use. It's stylish, understated, and just the right size. 10/10 no notes.
