A REPUTATION THAT SPANS GENERATIONS

The 940 is an iconic blade that, over the past 20 years, has cemented its legacy as an unrivaled classic. We’ve created dozens of variants of the 940, and our newest subtly improves upon the timeless design to be carried by an entirely new generation.

A LIFETIME OF PRACTICED PERFECTION

Warren Osborne sold his first custom knife in 1980, and up until his passing in 2016, he innovated with every design he dreamed up. The entire Benchmade family has long treasured our friendship and collaboration with Warren. His reputation for perfection has inspired our own team to constantly raise our own standards for lasting quality.

ONE LEGEND INSPIRES ANOTHER

We’ll be celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the 940 all year long to honor Osborne's legacy, beginning with this limited-edition knife. With handles created from lightweight titanium and a super-premium CPM-S90V stainless steel blade, the 940-2001 was designed to feel timeless for the next 20 years, and beyond.
