Description
The Benchmade 940 Osborne stands as a favored everyday carry (EDC) knife renowned for its quality craftsmanship, boasting a blade crafted from the esteemed CPM-S30V powdered steel and featuring contoured anodized aluminum liners.
Crafted by Warren Osborne, the 940 model stands among the most iconic knives globally, earning its acclaim through its lightweight, functional design, and the utilization of premium materials ensuring dependable and gratifying performance.
High-Quality Steel:
The knife showcases a satin-finished blade measuring 86mm in length, constructed from American CPM-S30V stainless steel.
Known for its superior durability and edge retention, Crucible Industries' S30V powdered steel undergoes hardening to an optimal 58-60 HRC, maintaining sharpness over extended periods while exhibiting high mechanical strength and corrosion resistance.
With a high vanadium carbide content, the steel offers exceptional impact and wear resistance, along with superior cutting capabilities. The blade is further protected by a black Teflon coating, guarding against minor scratches.
For efficient sharpening, it's advisable to use a diamond sharpener, as traditional ceramic whetstones may prove labor-intensive and inefficient.
Versatile Blade:
Featuring a broad blade with a tactical reverse-tanto profile and a matte satin finish, the knife offers seamless penetration and excellent cutting prowess. The blade's thickness at its widest point measures 3mm, striking a balance between durability and functionality for everyday tasks.
Effortless Deployment:
Unfolding the blade with a single hand is convenient and swift, facilitated by a dual-sided thumb stud, catering to both right- and left-handed individuals.
Secure Locking Mechanism:
Ensuring operational safety, the knife employs Benchmade's signature double-sided Axis-lock mechanism, prized for its robustness, resistance to debris, and user-friendly operation for both right- and left-handed users.
Modern Construction:
The knife features anodized 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum liners, reinforced by steel liners to enhance rigidity and strength. Aluminum, valued for its strength, precision machinability, and lightweight properties, offers comfort during carry and use.
The contoured handle, wider at the base, ensures a secure grip, minimizing slippage during use. Additionally, the knife incorporates blue anodized spacers, creating a striking contrast against the dark color scheme, appealing to knife enthusiasts.
Convertible Clip:
Facilitating discreet pocket carry, the knife includes a standard embedded clip, offering versatility with its reversible mounting option on either side of the handle.
