From the Benchmade catalog: A refreshing design whose form exemplifies what Warren Osborne believes important… function and quality. The functional smoothness of the AXIS lock compliments well the purity of design in the Model 940 (Green) and the NEW! Model 942 (Black)& Model 943 MCP (Modified Clip Point). A modified reverse tanto blade shape (940 & 942) offers up plenty of edge for most cutting tasks. The aluminum handle is slender with slight curvature and contouring for improved grip. Finger treads laser cut into the liners present added blade control when needed. Its carry-clip is movable to either handle side.
