The Benchmade Claymore Tanto delivers rugged performance, rapid deployment, and lightweight carry in a package built for hard use. Its 3.89" tanto blade is crafted from 154CM stainless steel, a proven blade steel known for its balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention. The blade is finished with a durable black Cerakote coating that helps protect against wear and harsh environments while minimizing reflections. The tanto profile provides excellent tip strength and piercing capability, making it well-suited for demanding cutting tasks.
This out-the-side automatic knife is equipped with a push-button mechanism that deploys the blade quickly and decisively. Once open, the blade locks securely into place, providing the confidence needed for everyday carry, work applications, and outdoor use. The automatic action is smooth, dependable, and designed for consistent performance over years of service.
The handle is constructed from textured black Grivory, offering impressive durability while keeping overall weight to a minimum. The textured surface enhances grip security and control, helping maintain a firm hold in a variety of conditions. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip supports convenient carry for both right- and left-handed users, while the integrated lanyard hole adds another layer of carry flexibility. Measuring 5.01" closed and weighing just 2.97 ounces, the Claymore Tanto carries comfortably without sacrificing capability.
