Pros & Cons
Pros
Overall, phenomenal knife. No failures, amazing action, razor sharp blade out of the box. I am a died in the wool spyderco fan and collector and the upper end of my knife world includes a chris reeve sebenza.
Thumb flick open and wrist flick close. Blade is very centered when closed. Axis lock is the bomb.
Cons
The blade is so small and thin i would call it delicate. It wobbles in the lock position. When i tighten the pivot just enough to barely stop the play the blade won't open or close without using 2 hands. The locking mechanism falls out of alignment wh... Read More
The benchmade 940 osborne is not a cheap knife. The tip of the blade comes very close to the edge of the body of the knife. I own probably 50 folders and plenty of high end, i know how to find the sweet spot and trust me this knife has no sweet spot.
Customer service told me i need to pay for return shipping. Not acceptable for the asking price. Not enough features to warrant the price. Sadly this is the second one i bought and will be returning!
There was no happy medium. What a piece of junk. Obviously must have been a slip up from benchmade.
It's awkward to use. That’s where serious issues surfaced. And deployment is fumbly and awkward. That is absurd!
Highlights
Quality
This knife is especially well made, very light and well balanced.
It’s really nice well built, razor sharp sharp edge fits my hand perfectly.
If it ever comes lose, you lose screws or even if you just want it back to factory sharpness.
The blade was razor sharp out of the box.
Price
Wanted one for years finally found one on here for a good price and grabbed it woo-hoo!
I was skeptic from negative reviews but it’s the real deal nothing to worry about.
But it seems to me that when you pay for an almost $300 knife, those minor things should have been taken care of before it reac... Read More
I may order a deep carry pocket clip for $10 from bm as another option.
Shipping
The delivery took 2 days which was surprising since i’m pretty remote up here in northern ca.
It arrived sharp and it functions well.
Packaging/appearance
I was upset because i left it at the local gun club when i was in a rush to pack up and leave.
I had to re-order because the first one i received was clearly an open box.
The only bad thing it’s not with knife, but when i got it the box looked like it went through an explosion.
Competitiveness
Bought it to replace another 940 and it’s the exact same knife i had before.
I finally let wranglerstar talk me into buying the legendary 940, and i now admit that it was worth the money and as good as he... Read More

The osborne 940 series is one of those iconic items that is hard to surmount, and that’s not for the competition lack of trying.
