Is this a genuine Benchmade? the osborne retails for far more on the website leading to my skepticism...

I can't speak for anyone else, but DLT Trading provides only genuine products, and we are an Authorized Premium+ Dealer for Benchmade.

Its probably genuine. The 940 sells for 180 at a lot of stores, so the Amazon price seems reasonable. All the knives I have bought on Amazon were authentic

It appears genuine to my untrained eye. Benchmade packaging, warranty documents, etc. I can tell you - this blade is sharp. I handled it without 100% attention for a moment and my right thumb is less some skin.

I purchased mine on amazon and am confident it is. The Cabelas price was very close but obviously this saved me a drive. Those are the two least expensive retailers I've found for this particular knife.

It's made by Benchmade, but designed by Osborne. The same quality by Benchmade, but cost extra to compensate the design. I like it very much, despite the cost.

It's impossible to say when you're dealing with the Internetj, but you already know that. Just make sure you can return it if it's fake. Regarding the price, it's not too low. I paid about $179 for mine at a local gun shop a few years ago, so $169 is about right. Benchmade has been making the 940 for 10 years, so I wouldn't expect to pay MSRP anywhere. If it's a fake, it's not because of the price.

I purchased one and it is not a fake. Selling fakes on Amazon would be a very shprt lived business plan. The BK7 is a good knife.

Yes it's real. It's a older knife they don't make anymore. They make a similar one. I think that's why it's a little cheaper

NO! It is not a knock off,Ka-Bar/Becker has started printing the names on the blades instead of stamping them into the metal! Why I don't know but it will make the stamped blade models worth more in the future, I hope this helps PHIL.

You are correct. Fallkniven website is the same as mine. Whoever first setup the item on Amazon used the wrong picture.

No. I own two other Ontario knives and they are clearly stamped "Ontario USA" on the Ricasso. The so-called "Ontario 499," I purchased from Amazon is not marked in any manner and makes me question this knife's authenticity. The genuine Ontario 499 is sold by Ontario for about $55.00 so I wouldn't waste your money on this questionable knock off.

There are PLENTY of reviews online. Between YouTube, forums, and dedicated websites, you'll have no problem finding real world reviews and pictures. Just search for Benchmade Barrage 581.

Honestly, I think it's the same knife from different sellers. The picture looks the exact same. In any case, it's a pretty good knife, a little tight to open, but that's better than too loose. I don't think Gerber offers the same style knife in different steel qualities. I bought the one certified by Amazon just in case it was wrong and I had to return it. That's usually the safest bet. Good luck!

Seki City Japan. Using VG-10 steel, FRN handle scales. It's a good quality knife and I did a lot of research before buying it, but at the end I bought it mostly because I loved how it looked. If it were me, I would buy an Ontario Rat Model 2. It looks more simple, but the craftsmanship is way better, zero blade play and built like a rock. And it is half the price. Also look at the Benchmade Mini Griptilian.

Mine had a certificate of authenticity with it. Had the date, time, place, forge, exact sword spec, serial number and it was signed by the smith who made it. This was 2010 though. Also Musashi is now Musha. Same company producing blades under a different name.

I was wondering the same thing. The photo they chose makes it look like a Chinese counterfeit, since it doesn't have any of the official stamps on the blade.

Hi, I thought there was only the one made, I have searched to see if any others and I can't locate another model. The one the was shipped to me is authentic and a great tool and very versatile for its compact size. Haven't spent enough time with it to see its durability, but if it's like all the other gerber gear I have, I'm sure it will take a beating. Thank out for your question, if anything I can do, feel free. Regards, ken

They seem to be sending out the serrated 140SBK even though We want the plain edge 140BK that is described here. Requested a replacement and can only get a refund as of 06-25-14. Buy elsewhere I guess?

I purchased the one sold by Outfitter Country storefront, on Amazon. 100% authentic new in box. I would be willing to sell mine for the right price which is still under the $170 Amazon price. It has never cut anything but a couple sheets of paper. I rarely carry it because I have so many blades in rotation. :)

It is, and when you get it all the proper markings will be in the correct places. I think it's just a ripped image of the knife. But all in all its a good knife has replace my buck folder as my new edc. Great ergonomics, great fit n finnish, good steel

I have noticed the price displayed on Cold Steel's website is ALWAYS exorbitantly high. I like Cold Steel knives very much, but I would never buy from their website, when the self same knife can be had at a more reasonable price...like here at Amazon.
