The Mini Osborne offers fans and aspiring owners of the legendary Osborne family a sub-compact option for smaller hands and pockets, and the rousing reception inspired us to plus it up in true Benchmade fashion. The 945-2 takes its cues from the full-size 940-1 with lightweight carbon fiber handle scales and premium CPM-S90V super steel. Accentuated with blue anodized barrel spacers, this classy companion will please old and new fans alike.

Japanese knifemaker Kazuyuki Sakurai specializes in intricate, handcrafted folding knives, many of which are inspired by the shapes of animals. Some of his most popular designs are the dog-shaped knives in his “Pochi” (poh-chee) series, which draws its name from the most common Japanese dog name, roughly the equivalent of “Spot.”

His first Spyderco collaboration faithfully translates this novel design into a unique production folder with a hollow-ground CPM S45VN™ blade, a bead-blasted titanium handle, a Reeve Integral Lock (R.I.L.), and a blue-anodized folding “tail,”
titanium pocket clip, and pivot-pin accent.

Originally designed by the esteemed Warren Osborne, the Mini Barrage has been a standard-bearer for reliability and utility for many years, and Benchmade has given it the update it deserves. The 585-03 Mini Barrage features milled Blue Canyon Richlite handle scales and a CPM-S30V stainless steel blade with Flat Dark Earth anodized thumb studs. Deployed by the AXIS-Assist mechanism, this venerable EDC workhorse just got a new lease on life.
