Benchmade Claymore-reliable OTS automatic knives

The blade is made of costly CPM- D2 steel hardened to 60-62 HRC. CPM-D2 is a powdered air-hardened variant of D2 steel, but with much higher retention and a modified carbide microstructure that makes the blade eminently wear-resistant, impressively long-lasting in sharpness and at the same time quite easy to sharpen. However, it is worth remembering the proper maintenance of the knife, so that the knife will serve reliably for years to come. When choosing a knife made of such steel, it is worth getting a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient.

Tactical tanto blade with a length of 86 mm, covered with a black cerakote coating, which protects against corrosion, minor scratches and emphasizes the tactical nature of the knife. The blade has a sturdy hilt and a flat grind, which guarantees smooth cutting and easy penetration. The head at its widest point is as much as 2.9 mm thick.
Such parameters guarantee the functionality and durability of the knife and make it suitable for demanding tasks.

The main advantage of the automatic knife, is comfortable and ultra quick unfolding system. Unlike models with an assisted head, in an automatic knife, unfolding the blade only requires pressing a button, which is responsible for releasing the lock and activating the powerful spring.
Folding the blade requires pushing the button again and manually retracting the blade. Such functionality makes the "automats" very popular among soldiers, uniformed service personnel and edc enthusiasts. The enlarged release button is embedded in a milled cutout, so it does not protrude above the handle. The knife uses an additional locking mechanism, which protects against accidental unfolding of the blade during handling and provides additional safety during operation. When using an automatic knife, it is recommended to exercise extreme caution and prudence.
