Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Benchmade Claymore 9070BK an automatic knife?
Yes. The Benchmade Claymore 9070BK is a push-button automatic with an integrated safety. Automatic knives are restricted in some states and localities, so please check your local laws before purchasing.
How does an automatic knife work?
An automatic knife like the Benchmade Claymore 9070BK uses a push-button mechanism. Pressing the oversized button releases a spring that swings the blade open and locks it, while the integrated safety prevents accidental firing. Unlike an out-the-front (OTF) automatic, the blade pivots open on a folder axis.
What steel does the Benchmade Claymore 9070BK use?
The Benchmade Claymore 9070BK uses CPM-D2 tool steel, a super-tough semi-stainless with strong edge retention. Keep the blade clean and lightly oiled to prevent surface rust.
How do you maintain the Benchmade Claymore 9070BK?
Keep the Benchmade Claymore 9070BK running smoothly by brushing lint out of the pivot, applying a light lubricant, and cycling the action. Avoid full disassembly of the spring-loaded mechanism, and use Benchmade's LifeSharp service for deeper cleaning and adjustment.
Is the Benchmade Claymore 9070BK made in the USA?
Yes. The Benchmade Claymore 9070BK is designed and built in Oregon City, Oregon, and is covered by Benchmade's LifeSharp service and full factory warranty.
