Warren Osborne drew a knife that looks like a gentleman's folder and works like a hard-use tool. The reverse tanto puts mass behind the tip where most folders are weakest, while the flat grind and long belly keep it a genuinely good slicer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color:#cfcfcf;font-size:15px;margin:0 0 14px;\"\u003eEvery model here shares the same frame: 7.87 inches open, 4.47 inches closed, a 3.4 inch blade at 0.115 inch stock. The differences are steel, handle material and finish. The green aluminum 940 is the original and the one most people picture. The 940-2 swaps to black G10 and sheds a quarter ounce. The Burnt Copper build moves up to MagnaCut, and the seasonal Taiga Green runs S90V with a battlewashed FDE blade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"color:#cfcfcf;font-size:15px;margin:0 0 30px;\"\u003eFreedom USA Sales is an authorized Benchmade dealer.
