Benchmade Claymore Auto T/E 9170BK - Cobalt Black/Gray Coated CPM-D2 Tanto Edge Blade & Black Grivory Handle Scales w/ Black Reversible Tip-Up Pocket Clip - Push Button Automatic w/ 3.6" Blade & Face-Side Safety Switch | Made in USA

The Claymore has finally been given a tanto edge blade. One of our favorite models of push button automatics out of Benchmade, these guys are a snappy but smooth-functioning auto with tons of potential. Being designed to be user-friendly with gloves on, they have an enlarged deployment button as well as an easily-functioning safety switch. The handle is thin and lightweight, as well as textured, with jimping in the right places for your fingers, and a nice finger guard that can be choked up on or utilized with a full-hand grip. Claymore autos typically come with CPM D2 steel, a tool steel known for being all-around on the property chart, with above average sharpen-ability. 

This new 2023 model Benchmade Claymore auto has a tanto blade, the first time it has been offered with this style. Coated with a cobalt gray and made of D2 steel, this guy is now a bit more versatile than before. He still comes with black grivory scales and a reversible black pocket clip.
