Premium blade steel – M390

The Reverse Tanto blade is made of M390 stainless steel, considered one of the finest steels available in production knives. Hardened to 58–61 HRC, it offers exceptional edge retention, abrasion resistance, and corrosion protection.

With a 2.6 mm thickness and a 74 mm blade length, the Mini Osborne is perfectly suited for EDC use. Its high flat grind and gently curved cutting edge ensure smooth penetration and excellent cutting performance. Because of its hardness, sharpening M390 is most effective with diamond tools rather than standard ceramic stones.

Trusted AXIS Lock mechanism

The Mini Osborne uses Benchmade’s patented AXIS Lock, known for its strength, resistance to dirt, and ambidextrous use. It provides reliable safety and smooth action for both right- and left-handed users.

Durable and stylish handle

The handle features Denim Micarta scales in navy blue, a composite of resin and canvas known for its strength and moisture resistance. Over time, it develops a unique patina, much like your favorite denim jeans. The textured finish ensures a secure grip, while the ergonomic handle shape provides comfort during extended use. Dark copper PVD-coated hardware highlights the knife’s unique design.

Compact, lightweight, and discreet

Weighing just 56 g, the Mini Osborne is slim and unobtrusive in the pocket. Its lightweight build makes it disappear when carried, yet it remains ready at a moment’s notice. The reversible Tip-Up clip ensures discreet and convenient carry.
