SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Benchmade Claymore OTF Automatic Knife is built for professionals, adventurers, and tactical users who demand uncompromising reliability and precision in the most demanding environments. This high-performance out-the-front dagger combines cutting-edge materials with Benchmade’s renowned craftsmanship, making it one of the toughest and most dependable automatic knives available today.
At the heart of the Claymore is a 3.89-inch CPM-D2 tool steel dagger blade, known for its toughness, excellent edge retention, and resistance to wear. Enhanced with a rugged Smoke Gray PVD finish, the blade resists corrosion and adds a stealthy, non-reflective look that is ideal for fieldwork or tactical operations. The dagger-style geometry provides balanced versatility, offering needle-sharp precision for piercing tasks while maintaining robust cutting power along both edges. Whether slicing, piercing, or tackling everyday utility tasks, this blade delivers consistent performance under pressure.
Benchmade pairs the premium blade with durable Ranger Green Grivory handles, engineered to be lightweight yet strong, ensuring the knife stands up to hard use without weighing you down. The textured surface provides excellent traction, giving you a confident grip even in wet or gloved conditions. Designed with ergonomics in mind, the Claymore ensures maximum control and comfort during extended use.
One of the standout features of the Claymore is its out-the-front automatic deployment system. Activated by a reliable push-button mechanism, the blade deploys lightning fast with a solid lockup you can trust. An integrated safety lock adds an extra layer of security, ensuring the blade stays in place until you need it. This rapid deployment and secure lock system makes the Claymore an invaluable tool in high-stress situations where every second counts.
For carry convenience, the Claymore includes a stainless steel tip-down pocket clip and a lanyard hole, allowing for multiple carry options that suit your lifestyle and mission. Despite its power, the knife is impressively compact, measuring just 5 inches closed and weighing a mere 2.97 ounces, making it easy to carry discreetly without sacrificing strength or performance.
Benchmade’s reputation for excellence shines through in every detail of the Claymore. Proudly made in the USA, this knife represents the perfect balance of precision engineering, premium materials, and dependable functionality. Whether you’re serving in the field, working on demanding jobs, or simply looking for a reliable everyday carry, the Claymore OTF is a knife you can count on when it matters most.
