The Osborn 940-1 is a great knife made badly. Anyone who considers them selves a cutlary enthusiast must own a 940 at some point because it is a fantastic design and the 940-1 is made of fantastic materials, CPM-S90V is fantastic and the scales are real, solid carbon fibre, not FRN/G10 with a sliver of carbon fibre on it, but one of the scales on mine is warped and that can’t be fixed, as a result I had to bend the pocket clip to fit it on the left hand scale, the scale screws protrude in to the handle, the blade is not centred and the edge was apparently ground using only a corse stone by a blind monkey with Parkinson’s on a ship in rough seas after 15 cans of Red Bull. Over all the 940-1 is poorly made and extreamly overpriced. It cost me £280 and if it was well made I’d try hard to justify that price but it is not well made, in fact it’s badly made for a budget knife and unforgivably badly made for a premium priced knife. For shame Benchmade, for shame.

This is an exceptional knife and a huge upgrade from the standard 940. The axis lock is very smooth, light and secure and the reverse tango blade works well at a variety of cutting and piercing tasks. The blade steel of S90v is a joy to use and all I have had to do is a light strop a couple of times on the back of a leather belt even after heavy use. The carbon fibre handles give a feeling of quality and are ergonomically excellent. A great knife for EDC you won't be disappointed.
