Benchmade Osborne Design Knife Review:

The more than thirty customers who provided their feedback for this tactical knife gave it an average rating of 4.7 stars, with the lowest rating being 3.0 stars.

One of the buyers who gave it a perfect 5.0-star rating shared that he had collected many expensive knives, but that this was the knife that he brought around everywhere. He commended it for being very well-engineered and coming with perfect balance. He felt that a knife that was the slightest big larger would have been uncomfortable in his pocket, while anything smaller would mean a blade that was not enough for all-around use. He liked the thin handle on this knife, as it allowed him to clip the knife into his pocket without being bulky. The Axis lock was found to be really solid, and the opening mechanism was comparable to an automatic knife. Another buyer shared that this was his first Benchmade knife, which he described as a beautiful knife that was light enough for effective use. He liked the grip and the Axis lock especially, as he found the knife to be very comfortable to hold and very easy to open and close. At least two customers raved about its being the best knife they had ever had, with various purposes served well by this knife, and a few of the reviewers described it as their favorite knife.

One user who was very happy with this knife subtracted a point from his rating when he found that the finishing of the Axis lock had a bit of a flaw: the knife was confirmed to be precisely engineered, but the user found that the blade tended to get slightly wobbly after opening and closing it about a hundred times. He checked online and found that this was a common problem; he got around it by getting the pivot screw out and adding a small drop of glue into the hole. While this was a simple solution, he wished the manufacturer had thought about this design flaw, especially given the price point. Fortunately there did not seem to be any other issue brought up for this knife, and despite that tiny flaw, the reviewer still gave it a 4.0-star rating.

From these findings, we believe this tactical knife would be a very helpful tool for your outdoor pursuits.
