It??s a machinist??s dream. The Model 960-RED not only represents the uncanny knack of Warren Osborne??s design abilities, it also demonstrates some of Benchmade??s finest manufacturing capabilities. Machined aluminum handles feature a pocketed black G10 inlay, which are machine contoured both directions for that subtle difference that defines Benchmade. Detailing such as ball bearings press fit into the handles, and a titanium backspacer add to the visually custom appeal of the 960. And the red or silver color anodizing of the aluminum handles only fuels the fire, too. So if you are looking for something that sizzles in any pocket, make it the 960.
Is your 960SLV marked "154CM"? Some of the earlier produced 960SLV's were mistakenly marked with "154CM" steel label on the blade , when they are in fact "D2" tool steel. This mistake has been recognized and corrected.
