Folding Knife Benchmade 940-1 Osborne Recerse Tanto

TheBenchmade 940-1 Osborne is a popular edc knife that features a blade made of prized CPM-90V powder steel and ultralight carbon fiber facings.

The 940 designed by Warren Osborne is undoubtedly one of the most famous knives in the world. It owes its success to its lightweight and functional design and the use of high-quality materials that guarantee reliable and satisfying performance.

Premium steel

Theknife has an 86mm long blade, made of elite CPM-S90V stainless steel, which is subjected to the optimal hardening for edc knives to a hardness of 59-61 HRC.

CPM-S90V is a luxury stainless steel with a very high vanadium and carbon content, which make the blade extremely long-lasting in sharpness and highly resistant to abrasion and corrosion.

When choosing a hard-steel knife, get a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient.

Utility head

Thewide blade, with a tactical reverse-tanto profile, has a matte satin finish (polishing) that harmonizes perfectly with the titanium facings. Thanks to the use of a sturdy hilt, a flat grind and a cutting edge with a gently rounded line, the knife penetrates easily and has excellent cutting properties.

The thickness of the blade at its widest point is 3 mm, which is a compromise between durability and functionality of the knife in everyday work.

Convenient unfolding

The blade can be conveniently and quickly unfolded with one hand using a double-sided peg, which is convenient for both right- and left-handed people.

Reliable locking mechanism

Benchmade's flagship mechanism, the double-sided Axis-lock, which is valued for its immense mechanical strength, dirt resistance and convenient operation for both right- and left-handed users, is responsible for safe operation.

Modern materials

The knife has liners made of lightweight and very strong carbon fiber, which are attached to steel liners, responsible for the rigidity and strength of the construction.

One of the most important advantages of carbon fiber, besides its striking appearance, of course, is its minimal weight.

The profiled handle is wider at the base, which makes the knife's grip comfortable and the hand will not slip on the blade while working.

This model features blue anodized spacers, which contrast strikingly with the knife's dark color scheme and will undoubtedly attract the attention of any knife enthusiast.

Convertible clip

Discreetly carrying the knife in your pocket is made possible by a standard embedded clip , which can be mounted on either side of the handle.
