Benchmade 9400BK Osborne Automatic

The Benchmade 9400BK Osborne Automatic is based off the original Benchmade 940 Osborne design. The Benchmade 9400 maintains the styling and dimensions that made the original 940 an iconic EDC design. The new Benchmade 9400 is as true to form as it gets, despite the addition of a button lock auto mechanism. It doesn’t have to be tactical to be practical, and this knife screams practicality.

The Benchmade 9400 Osborne features a green anodized 6061-T6 aircraft grade aluminum handle. The reverse tanto style blade is CPM-S30V steel with a black finish. The reverse tanto blade gives you the versatility of a clip point blade with the added tip strength of a tanto. A tip up ambidextrous pocket clip completes this awesome EDC design.

CPM-S30V Steel: Chris Reeve is famous for developing two steels directly with Crucible Industries, and boy did this partnership result in an awesome product. S30V is, in many eyes, the ultimate EDC steel. Exhibiting very good edge retention, corrosion resistance, and sharpenability, S30V is utilized by a variety of makers for its performance and balance. CPM-S30V has become one of the most used premium steels on the market among knife manufacturers. If you are looking for a high end stainless steel knife that will keep an edge, that will be durable, and will resist corrosion–definitely consider one made with a CPM-S30V blade.
