Benchmade Osborne
The Benchmade Osborne family is built around the most influential EDC folder of the modern era, the Benchmade 940. Warren Osborne, the Australian-born maker who designed it, drew on years of ranch work to create a folder that reads like a gentleman's knife but cuts like a work tool, and its reverse tanto blade shape has been imitated across the industry ever since its introduction in 2000. Every knife in the family pairs that signature blade geometry with Benchmade's AXIS lock, a fully ambidextrous crossbar mechanism that keeps your fingers clear of the edge on closing.
The Benchmade 940 Osborne and Its Variants
The original Benchmade 940 runs a 3.4-inch CPM-S30V reverse tanto over green anodized aluminum handles with the famous purple titanium backspacer. The 940-2 trades aluminum for grippy black G10, while the 940-1 upgrades to carbon fiber scales and CPM-S90V for serious edge retention. Recent releases push the platform further, with the 940-04 wearing blue denim Micarta and an M390 blade, and the 940BK-03 Burnt Copper running battlewashed CPM-MagnaCut, the current benchmark for stainless toughness.
The Benchmade 945 Mini Osborne for Compact Carry
The 945 Mini Osborne scales the 940 down to a 2.92-inch blade and roughly two and a half ounces without losing the reverse tanto profile or the AXIS lock. It mirrors the full-size lineup nearly variant for variant, from the standard green aluminum 945 to the carbon fiber S90V 945-2 and the MagnaCut Burnt Copper 945BK-03, making it the natural pick for office-friendly and lightweight carry.
The Benchmade 9400 Osborne Push Button Series
The 9400 series brings rapid, push-button deployment to the classic Osborne platform while keeping the same blade geometry and handle profile as the manual 940. For those who want the fastest version of an icon, the 9400, 9400BK, and MagnaCut 9400BK-03 deliver it without changing what made the design great.
