The Benchmade SMKW Custom Osborne AXIS Lock is a bold, shop-exclusive take on a modern classic, blending proven performance with one-of-a-kind styling. Built on the legendary Osborne platform, this custom edition pairs everyday practicality with striking character, giving you a knife that’s as functional as it is distinctive. It’s refined, rugged, and ready for hard use, yet it carries a look you won’t find anywhere else.
At the heart of the design is a 3.4" reverse tanto blade crafted from CPM S30V stainless steel. Known for its excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, S30V is a trusted choice for serious users. The satin finish adds a clean, professional appearance while reducing glare and highlighting the blade’s precise lines. Deployment is smooth and confident thanks to ambidextrous thumb studs, and the reliable AXIS lock delivers strong, secure lockup with easy one-handed operation.
What truly sets this version apart is the handle. Custom made by the Smoky Mountain Knife Works Custom Crew, the scales are finished in Shipwrecked Brass. This distinctive treatment is designed to resemble brass that’s been weathered beneath the sea, complete with rich patina tones, rust-inspired accents, and flowing blue swirls. Each set of handles develops its own unique character, ensuring no two knives look exactly alike. The result is a finish that feels organic, artistic, and undeniably eye-catching while still maintaining the durability brass is known for.
Closed length measures 4.47", making it compact enough for comfortable carry without sacrificing performance. Proudly made in the USA and customized by the SMKW Crew, this knife reflects attention to detail from blade to handle.
