Product detailed description
Benchmade 940 Osborne is one of the iconic folding knives from Benchmade, and the special 940FE-2601 Taiga Green edition presents its classic construction in a more distinctive outdoor-oriented configuration. Inspired by the deep northern boreal forests, the design combines a green aluminum handle, dark blade, and contrasting Burnt Copper details. The result is a lightweight EDC knife with a strong outdoor character while retaining the technical qualities that have defined the Osborne family for years.
The blade is made from premium S90V stainless powder steel, renowned primarily for its exceptional wear resistance and very long edge retention. Its high vanadium content creates hard carbides that significantly enhance cutting performance during extended use. S90V is particularly appealing to users who prefer not to sharpen their knife frequently. The trade-off is more demanding sharpening, but in return the steel offers outstanding resistance to wear. S90V is primarily focused on maximum edge retention rather than easy field sharpening.
The blade features an FDE PVD Battlewash finish, combining a matte Flat Dark Earth tone with a worn, subtly military-inspired appearance. The PVD coating also helps protect the surface against everyday mechanical wear while reducing reflections. The Battlewash effect gives the blade a slightly more rugged character, avoiding the sterile appearance of a perfectly uniform finish. The FDE Battlewash finish creates an attractive contrast with the green handle and Burnt Copper accents.
The Taiga Green aluminum handle keeps the construction lightweight while providing sufficient strength for everyday use. Aluminum allows strong handle scales to be produced without unnecessary weight, while the green anodized finish fits naturally with the model's outdoor character. Burnt Copper components add a distinctive color accent and break up the otherwise earthy combination of green and FDE. The combination of lightweight aluminum, premium S90V steel, and contrasting hardware creates a highly appealing configuration for modern EDC use.
Opening and blade locking are handled by the characteristic AXIS Lock mechanism, one of the defining features of Benchmade knives. The system allows ambidextrous operation and comfortable handling with either the right or left hand. The construction also keeps both sides of the handle relatively clean, supporting ergonomics and smooth blade movement. The 940 Osborne combines a time-tested construction with modern materials and the distinctive Taiga Green special edition styling.
The Benchmade 940FE-2601 Taiga Green is aimed at users looking for a lightweight folding knife for everyday carry without settling for an ordinary-looking EDC. Premium S90V steel, an aluminum handle, FDE PVD Battlewash, and Burnt Copper details create a combination that works equally well in the city or outdoors. The Osborne remains one of Benchmade's signature models, while the Taiga Green edition gives it a more distinctive and adventurous personality.

Benchmade Knife Company has earned its reputation as one of the leading American manufacturers of modern, high-tech knives. Since the late 1970s, the brand has focused on innovation, functional design, and real-world performance rather than short-lived trends. Precision manufacturing, advanced blade steels, and reliable locking systems define the Benchmade approach.
Early recognition came with the iconic Bali-Song folding knife, a model that highlighted mechanical ingenuity and balance. This success encouraged further development in blade geometry, handle ergonomics, and durability. Benchmade blends traditional knife-making values with contemporary engineering.
Based in Oregon, the company benefits from a strong local knife-making culture and a regulatory environment that supports craftsmanship and experimentation. Continuous testing and refinement play a major role in product development. As a result, Benchmade knives are trusted by professionals, military users, and demanding enthusiasts worldwide.
Today, the brand is closely associated with features such as the AXIS Lock mechanism, modern powdered steels, and long service life. Each knife feels purpose-built and technically refined. These qualities make Benchmade knives practical tools designed for everyday use and demanding conditions alike.
