Benchmade – 940FE-2601 – Osborne – Folding Knife – CPM S90V Flat Dark Earth Battlewash Reverse Tanto – Aluminum – Taiga Green

Description

The Benchmade 940 Osborne 940FE-2601 is a premium, limited seasonal variation of one of the most iconic everyday carry folding knives ever designed. Originally created by Warren Osborne, the 940 platform is widely regarded for its slim profile, lightweight construction, and highly functional reverse tanto blade geometry. This FE-2601 edition elevates the classic design with a refined Taiga Green colorway, premium CPM-S90V blade steel, and distinctive FDE Battlewash PVD finishing, making it a standout both in performance and collector appeal. At the core of this model is a 3.40-inch reverse tanto blade crafted from CPM-S90V particle metallurgy stainless steel. Known for its exceptional wear resistance and industry-leading edge retention, CPM-S90V is engineered with a high vanadium content that allows the blade to maintain sharpness far longer than conventional stainless steels. The flat grind at 0.120 inches thick ensures efficient slicing performance while preserving strength at the tip. The reverse tanto profile gives the 940 its signature silhouette, combining a lowered spine with an upward-swept cutting edge to deliver both precision and durability in everyday cutting tasks. The blade features a Flat Dark Earth Battlewash PVD finish, offering a subdued, wear-inspired appearance that complements the seasonal Taiga Green aesthetic. This finish not only enhances visual appeal but also adds an additional layer of surface protection against wear and environmental exposure. The handle construction consists of Taiga Green anodized aluminum scales reinforced with internal steel frame liners. These liners provide structural rigidity without significantly increasing weight, resulting in a strong yet lightweight platform at just 2.79 ounces. Burnt Copper hardware accents further enhance the visual contrast and premium feel of the knife. The handle measures 4.47 inches in length and 0.44 inches in thickness, maintaining the slim, pocket-friendly profile that the 940 series is known for. The knife is equipped with Benchmade’s AXIS Lock mechanism, delivering ambidextrous operation with smooth, secure deployment and closure. Dual thumb studs allow multiple opening methods including thumb deployment, reverse flick, and left- or right-hand use. A reversible tip-up pocket clip ensures versatile carry options for both left- and right-handed users.
