This Claymore OTF Simplified My Entire Gear Setup — Here’s Why People Are Switching
HHave you ever found yourself struggling to dig out a folding knife with both hands whilst barbecuing at the campsite, when your family urgently needs help preparing food or cutting a rope? The secret to being prepared at all times isn’t about lugging around a whole toolbox, but about having a top-of-the-range tool that you can operate with one hand and that reacts faster than your instincts.
We are proud to present the Claymore, a powerful yet compact and lightweight Out-the-Fold (OTF) automatic knife that delivers performance far beyond its size. This formidable tool features a 3.02-inch double-edged dagger blade finished in a stylish smoke grey coating, crafted from robust CPM-D2 steel, renowned for its toughness and edge retention. The Claymore is designed for users seeking a lightweight tactical everyday carry (EDC) knife who refuse to compromise on performance or style.
Compact yet powerful, it serves as your personal bodyguard wherever you go, whilst its front-deploying mechanism allows you to draw the blade swiftly. Whether you’re looking for a reliable EDC knife, a stylish collector’s item, or a discreet personal defence tool, this knife stands out with its innovative design, featuring a smoke-grey blade and a black Grivoli wood handle, perfectly blending practical functionality with tactical aesthetics.

Tactical-level kitchen performance
Don’t be fooled by its rugged appearance. The precision-ground dagger-style blade cuts through sealed bags of frozen meat or tough firewood in the wild as smoothly as cutting through butter.

TDitch those bulky toolboxes. The Benchmade Claymore OTF redefines what it means to have ‘control at your fingertips’—it makes tedious outdoor tasks as easy as breathing.
Excellent edge retention:
The use of CPM-D2 high-performance steel gives it exceptional wear resistance and hardness, ensuring it remains razor-sharp even after prolonged, intensive use.
Simple operating logic:
All the complex mechanical components are concealed beneath a sleek exterior; the mechanism can be opened and closed with a single hand, allowing you to keep your focus firmly on the task at hand.
The understated aesthetics of tactics:
With its matte dark finish and sleek, clean lines, this knife exudes a sense of calm yet deadly efficiency in any professional setting.
Multi-Accessories
Multiple brush heads meet the cleaning needs of each scene. Choose the correct one to make your cleaning more efficiently. Use the nozzle to clean car stains, the plastic brush to clean water stains in the bathroom, the wire brush to clean grease in the kitchen, and the large plastic brush to clean the floors!
The blade remains
The blade has remained in great shape but like my other three automatics, the starts to stick and doesn’t fully or close. You have to pull the blade out when it doesn’t close correctly. Other than that the knife system is aggressively designed to provide instant access to a shape knife. I use the free sharpening and it takes some time but the results are amazing.

Deployment Knife
I got knife before I deployed and use it for everything. The Grivory material it is made of is very light weight and durable, and the blade has yet to dull even when used daily. O have big hands and it fits perfectly in them. The only thing I've seen Is some people I know that have weaker hands struggle with the double actions, but they get it eventually.

Claymore OTF
This is one amazing OTF! Very lightweight and great steel, it comes extremely sharp out of the box. The only thing I had a problem with was the actuator button, it was very stiff to open and close. In all accounts though it is a great OTF!
