The timeless design of the 940 takes a radical leap into the push-button automatic world, maintaining the same slender design and materials as the original 940, an iconic EDC design with a logical evolution into a swift, one handed deployment automatic action, push-button lock and a blade safety toggle situated on its spine, preventing accidental opening in the pocket or hand. A practical, slim profile, a lightweight EDC, easily concealed with a comfortable reversible tip-up pocket clip. Benchmade has a rich history dating back over 30 years and a tradition of innovation, based in Oregon City, Oregon, exclusively made in the USA. Famous for the AXIS lock and working with world-class custom knife makers to manufacture precision custom knife designs, featuring iconic manual pocket knives, world leaders in automatic and OTF knives, as well as versatile fixed blades.
