Benchmade Osborne

[Makael]

Another awesome example. I looked at a dozen or so at Sportsman’s Warehouse in Spokane valley. All were great examples.

What a timeless design. Still my favorite.

Love mine. Been eyeballing the 940-1 latelly but haven't pulled the trigger yet.

The handle looks a bit small for my grip. What Buck would be the most similar in size? I am REALLY loving these two Barrages and the Super Freek that arrived last week.

That looks amazing

All these years and I still haven’t grabbed a 940.

I think if I saw a green standard model in 154cm I’d be tempted.

Picked up at Cabelas. D2.

I finally picked up a 943 clip blade as they were discontinued last year. I think I like it better than the 940. You've got some beauties in your collection!

I only have one Osborne a straight 940.
Green Aluminum, satin blade.

it or the Bugout rides in my pocket everyday.

Either you have HUGE hands or that knife is really a miniature. I have read so much about this design that for a while I considered buying one... but damn... it is SO small...

Not sure if you're joking or not, but the -1601 is the same size as the -1 or the -2 for that matter.

You didn't quote anyone so I don't really know if this comment was directed at me (being the previous poster). In that case, no, I am not joking, In the picture I was quoting the knife seems small to me.

Here is a comparison pic next to a Grip.
Thinner profile: very nice lightweight knife.

Pretty sure this was mine. My hands are XXL and the shoe size is 11. What's weird is I'm only 5'6" tall. Not an Osborne but here is a full size Crooked River for kicks and giggles.

Thanks for the comparison, now I can picture the real size of it as I do own a full size Griptillian. I guess I will have to withdraw my comment about being tiny! Seems to be a pretty decent size.

Oh boy... that explains everything. LOL. I have that very same knife in my hands right now (the Crooked River) and I do understand the problem. I have a size 8 glove...

I have to agree. In that pic the knife really does look small and I would have avoided purchasing that knife but Mike's comparison pic solves that dilemma. The -1601 will be my next Benchmade, for certain.

The osborne is a med size knife, it has a delicate feel in hand. So light. But it feels natural and smpoth to operate. Its a classic

Thank you for that Mike. I'm usually not too picky about grips and sizes but some of the BM's look like they might be too small. Nobody around here sells them so I have to research everything before I order online.
