I have frw 940's and they're all flawless knives. The design, weight, and slim profile makes the Osbourne a perfect EDC knife.

This is a classic knife that has a classy look to it! I am not one to have a suit knife etc, but sometimes I like playing with this one because it looks so cool!

Just picked up my second Osborne 940 carbon (lost my first one ??) It's than a stand-up comic's comeback and lighter than my post-Thanksgiving food coma. This EDC knife is a beast at slicing through Amazon boxes and dressing my wild turkeys like it's auditioning for a cooking show. It's slim enough to vanish in your pocket, sturdy enough to tackle tough cuts without flinching, and so perfectly balanced it feels like an extension of your hand. The carbon fiber handle is grippy, the blade's sleek design screams precision, and the AXIS lock flicks open smoother than a sitcom laugh track. It's sharp enough to make turkey bones quiver and daily tasks a breeze. The price is up there but worth it. For EDC fans who want a knife that's part ninja, part supermodel, this is your guy (gal?) Idk

Still my favorite Benchmade. Would've given 5 stars except I had to adjust the action and blade centering.

I've had a bunch of knives. Spyderco, kershaw, Swiss army, leather man, gerber. . nothing comes close to the Osborne 940. I've had a few iterations of the Osborne as well. The anodized aluminum, and the g10 handle version, my original had cm155 steel. The s30v with anodized aluminum is the best. Something about how solid it feels in your hand. It loses that with the g10. This thing is in my pocket unless I'm getting on an airplane. No other knife in this price range comes close with the features and durability. You could argue the sebenza is the better knife but you're paying 3x the price. This is a tool knife. Use it hard and it'll still last.

Exactly what I expected from Benchmade? tough, sharp, looks great, and will last a lifetime! Quality is 10/10, blade is extremely durable and sharp, and disappears when carrying.

Solid knife with a unique grind. Been looking at it for a while. Glad I pulled the trigger!

This is the 5th Osborne I have purchased. They are the perfect gift and the same one I carry every day.

This is the original EDC. Before the Para, before the Shallot, before the Trident, there was the Osborne 940.

The 940, whether in aluminum, titanium, or carbon fiber, is definitely my favorite Benchmade of all time. It might be my favorite knife of all time. Small enough to be discretely carried (especially with the deep pocket carry clip). Large enough to get any EDC job done. Great blade geometry. Pleasing fidget toy around the campfire or behind the desk.

I dont like how cheap the handle feels. Other than that I am very happy with the knifes edge and sharpeners right out of the box.

Nice, quality blade for EDC. The aluminum has a nice feel. I grew up carrying the Griptillion, this is a nice change.

This is the greatest knife of all time. There's a reason why it's the favorite of so many people. It is flawless. Perfectly profiled and centered. Smooth action. Its aluminum handle has just the right amount of traction and the purple backspacer is the perfect accent. I haven't found anything that it couldn't cut, and cit smoothly. I don't know how I lived so long without it.

This knife goes everywhere with my husband, EVERYWHERE. Which also means he misplaces it a lot. Usually he (mostly I) find(s) it not long afterward. But, unfortunately he's lost two knives never to be found. Most recently to the bottom of Lake Harris. The devastation on his face after losing it this last time was real and raw, so much so that his son (age 10) looked at me immediately and asked how much it would cost to replace it. I told him they are not cheap, but this was only met with "I'll spit it with you. " We both know how much this specific design and color scheme have become a staple for my husband, we both know he uses it for everything and is never worried about the wear and tear because he knows that all he has to do is send it back and Benchmade will make it like new. It was a no brainer to replace it. (And how can you look into the face of a ten year old who wants to help pay for it and tell him no???) We love this knife because it is like an extra appendage to my spouse, but also. . . it's a really great knife.

The 940 is a knife that I've been wanting for a long time and I finally decided to pick it up and I can say everything about this knife is worth the money. The powder coat on the scales feels amazing in the hand. The action is the smoothest I have ever felt The blade is an amazing shape. and it comes razor-sharp out of the box.

Went by the factory store, what great folks in there. Picked up a 940 and 945 for my cattle ranching dayghter and son in law. Had their brand etched right there on the spot. You can watch as high tech machine right out in front. The agent who helped me worked through formats of the brand and nailed it. Happy.

I like Benchmade knives
By Brent L.
This is a great knife. With just a little practice you can open it about as fast as the full auto version. I'd like to see Benchmade put some jimping or something else to give purchase to your thumb when you reach into your pocket, to deploy the knife. The clip needs to be strong, so you don't lose it, or have the knife fall out on its own, which has happened to me. I removed the clip, bent it back, and my favorite knife stays in my pocket again. However, it really takes some effort to pull i...

Great grip and balance, delivers
By Ralph T.
Great grip and balance, delivers confidence in your cut, whether it be a box or a trout. Perfect size, this knife is ready for just about anything.
Benchmade 940 AxIS Plain Edge Knife comes with Reverse Tanto Satin Finish Blade and Carbon fiber handle scales with stainless steel liners and anodized aluminum barrel spacers. It is a popular knife for good reason. It's a comfortable everyday carry knife with its slim design, great ergonomics and lightweight. The 940-1 has a premium CPM-S90V steel blade with a partially serrated edge and a stonewash finish. The carbon fiber handle has stainless steel liners and blue anodized aluminum barrel spacers. The AxIS lock and reversible pocket clip make the knife usable for right and left handers.
