Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Benchmade Claymore 9071BK an automatic knife?
Yes. The Benchmade Claymore 9071BK 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 9071BK 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 is a tanto blade?
A tanto blade, like the one on the Benchmade Claymore 9071BK, has a strong, angular tip built for piercing and hard-use tasks while keeping a durable point.
What steel does the Benchmade Claymore 9071BK use?
The Benchmade Claymore 9071BK uses CPM-D2 tool steel with a cobalt black finish, 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 9071BK?
Keep the Benchmade Claymore 9071BK 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.
Where can I buy the Benchmade Claymore 9071BK?
The Benchmade Claymore 9071BK is available at Going Gear, an authorized Benchmade dealer, and is made in the USA with full LifeSharp and warranty coverage. Automatic knives may have shipping restrictions to certain locations.
