The Benchmade 940 Osborne is a popular edc knife, which uses a blade made of the valued CPM-30V powder steel and profiled cladding made of anodized aluminum.
The 940 designed by Warren Osborne is undoubtedly one of the most famous knives in the world. It owes its success to a light and functional design and the use of high-quality materials that guarantee reliable and satisfactory operation.
S30V powder steel by Crucible Industries is hardened to an optimal hardness of 58-60 HRC, therefore it maintains high sharpness for a long time, has high mechanical strength, and is also resistant to corrosion.
Due to the high content of vanadium carbides, the steel is distinguished by high toughness and abrasion resistance, as well as excellent cutting properties. The blade is covered with a layer of black Teflon, which protects the blade from minor scratches.
The knife is faced with anodized aircraft aluminum 6061-T6, which are attached to steel liners, which are responsible for the rigidity and strength of the structure.
One of the main advantages of aluminum, apart from durability and the possibility of precise processing, is its low weight, which is inevitably related to the comfort of carrying and using the knife.
In this model, blue anodized distance sleeves are used, which contrast with the dark colors of the knife and undoubtedly attract the attention of every knife lover.
Discreet carrying of the knife in a pocket is possible thanks to a standard embedded clip that can be mounted on both sides of the handle.
