My Benchmade 945 Mini Osborne Collection (2024) 

Because of the Osborne's reputation, I ordered one of these Minis off Amazon for two bills before I realized the many variations on the theme. Dagnabbit. Might have to get some un-purple barrel spacers and a deep-carry clip. And when I unboxed this green-scaled, uncoated S30V blade I did not necessarily dig it. The finish on the scales was weird. It was hard, dry fuzzy and it grabbed and retained clothing, skin, and as I found out natural oil from my hand; almost like the finish had to break in. Now it is tolerable. The blade is perfectly centered! though. lmao. and that's a big deal. Then, coming from finger-tip-flip, spring-assisted Kershaws and CZTs I did not AT FIRST appreciate the Benchmade thumb stud and blade lock action. I thought then the purchase may have been a mistake. I figured it out and almost 24 hours later I LOVE THIS THING. Effin-A what a sweet little piece. Sharp as a scalpel, light as a feather and a sweet-feeling action. Dang. Who knew. You guys did, apparently. I am convert.

The addiction is definitely real. Just got my first Benchmade with the 273-03 and now I really want an Osborne.

I have the green aluminum version. I 5th pocket the 940, which kind of carries like a smaller knife, so the 945 hasn’t hit it yet for me. I wish I’d gotten the black/blue version.

The Gold Class is incredible! For EDC I really like the Black G10/Blue Combo. Such a cool collection

The 945 is my favorite edc. I only carry the 940, or other larger knife if I think I may need it. This is a tough little knife that does most things well. Thinking about upgrading to the new magnacut version, but I really like s30v.

I doubt I’d care much for the 945, but I haven’t tried it… I just can’t see how this would beat the Bugout or mini Bugout for myself… I’m not surprised you prefer it to the Bugout but you been huffin’ 940 fumes 😂

I love the 940.... the only 945 thus far is the gold. Not sure why, but I think I'll stick with either the MPR, Immunity, or the Om as the 5th pocket carry.

I like the blue G10 with all black hardware and blade. Love your collection!!!!

WOW!!!! AWESOME STUFF ZACH #DSKFS #BEUP #ZACHATTACK AND YES BENCHMADE SHOULD DO THE JADE AND M4 MINI 940 AND A MINI 9450 9400?? JUST DO THE MINI VERSION OF THE 9400... LIKE TO SPEC.. JUST MINI

My oh my, I'm Jelly 🤘

Great color combos, I’m partial to the red and gray!

Just marked this to watch after work. This is my grail knife.

Great collection Zach‼️ My 945(od green) is in my 5th pocket everyday. Shot show one is 🔥.✌🏻

Like all the 940 and 945. Thanks for sharing your experience

Like the Stealth Osborne. Nice collection Zach. Have a good week. Take care. #DSKFS

Really cool Zach! My only 940 is the BHQ exlusive. Im waiting for them to do the same look for the 945. If not ill have to get the Shot Show next year when they put it on sale or just go custom orange with black blade and hardware

I'm thinking I may end up keeping that SHOT Mini, but will need to get some good Ti scales for it. ETA: the Limited Edition, the 4 digit is 2 digit year and 2 digit month? I just realized that SHOT Mini is 2401, and my Barrage is a 2207, and it made me think that's what the 4 digit code on the Limited means.

I need to get a Osborne.

Awesome collection thanks Zach

GreaT collection Zach.

Very nice collection sir!

I don't have a 940 & you got one too many so I will take your least favorite i will be waiting.😁 Ps. My favorite looking one is the 945 Gold Class love the Teal🔥🔥🔥🔥Much Love Brother Zach ✌️💜

Haven’t found the right one for me yet, but I’m sure it’s coming!

Those look great. I'd probably prefer the larger one.

Very awesome collection. 👍🏻.

The mini Adamas is the only Mini I like. Love the 940 as you know

I miss my 945

Nice collection.

I love to window shop on your page have an amazing day sir

You guys have any thoughts on the 940 vs 945? I currently have a Narrows and a Mini Adamas and am looking to complete a 3-pc Benchmade set, can't decide which to go with.

Like the 940 but the 945 is just a little small
