Benchmade Osborne 940: "Bar Setting Balance" by Nutnfancy

If there's a right way to make a manual folding tactical or hunting knife this is it: The outstanding Benchmade Osborne Axis 940 series of knives. All makers take note of these knives: ultra fast and easy deployment due to perfect pivot construction and balance. Who needs an auto with deployment speed like this. It really doesn't get any better than this. Add superior construction throughout, rock solid lock up, great 154CM blade steel, a cool purple titanium spacer on the back, strong clip, and great colors to this superior design. Also the both the clip and reverse tanto blade shapes offer great utility in every day carry (not too wide). At around $125 these knives are actually a good deal. Heirloom quality. They are some of my absolute favorite tactical or EDC (every day carry) folders. 10out of 10 Nutnfancy Likeability Scale.

How do you send a knife to razors edge, because my dad reprofiled one of my blades and lets say it didn't come out pretty... So now i don't let him get anywhere near my knives!

[nutnfancy]

@Tux3d0 Lots of our guys have just mailed him their blades and he's done great work for them. Call the shop and talk to John. -- Veri

@nutnfancy Where'd you track down the red version? Every seller seems to only have green :(

I have had mine as an edc for over ten years now. I have had on my person about 99% of the time. I have used/abused this great knife by opening and breaking down thousands of cardboard boxes. I cannot even count the times I have cut rope with. Used as a steak knife when the restaurants knives suck. It has never failed me even once.

When I purchased it I think in '99 it was $185.

The best $185 I have ever spent.

If you are thinking about it buy it.

@tylenator552 that's exactly what i was thinking!

[bearbassett]

My favorite all time EDC blade, for such an awesome blade, I don't hear you talk about it much anymore?

[ST4leave]

what do you guys think would be best. a benchmade 375 adamas fixed, or a sure fire EW-05 fix blade. the surefire is about 60$ more adding up to about 200$. the surefire is about .6 ounces less than the bench made.
