A Modern Classic in American Knife Making

The Benchmade 940 Osborne is one of the most iconic everyday carry knives ever produced. Designed by Warren Osborne, the 940 blends a slim profile with a long, efficient 3.4 inch CPM S30V blade, giving you excellent reach and slicing performance without adding bulk. The green anodized aluminum handle keeps the weight incredibly light, while the AXIS Lock delivers the smooth, ambidextrous action that made Benchmade famous.

With its timeless design, narrow silhouette, and outstanding ergonomics, the 940 has earned its place as a benchmark in the knife world. It carries comfortably, cuts with precision, and remains one of Benchmade’s most respected USA-made folders.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply

The 940 was the very first USA-made knife in my personal collection, and it is the knife that started my journey as a collector. That journey eventually led to the founding of Lone Star Knife & Supply. This knife is more than a classic, it is a piece of my own story.
