Understanding the Benchmade Claymore 9070/9071/9570 AUTO Folding Knife

The Benchmade Claymore series is engineered to be one of the brand's strongest automatic folders, utilizing a high-performance push-button mechanism and lightweight Grivory handles. Its CPM-D2 blade steel provides a significant boost in toughness over standard D2 for demanding tactical and everyday tasks.

What kind of steel does the Benchmade Claymore use?
Every knife in the Benchmade Claymore series features CPM-D2 blade steel. This particle metallurgy steel offers edge retention similar to standard D2 but provides superior toughness due to its finer grain structure, making it well-suited for a heavy-duty tactical tool.
Is the Benchmade Claymore a heavy knife?
No, the Benchmade Claymore is designed to be lightweight and highly maneuverable by using Grivory handle scales. This construction keeps the weight low while maintaining a neutral balance point at the index finger for effortless manipulation.
How does the Benchmade Claymore deployment work?
The Benchmade Claymore series utilizes a powerful push-button automatic mechanism that fires the blade open with authority. For added security, it includes a secondary safety slider that can lock the button in either the open or closed position.
What blade shapes are available in the Claymore series?
The Benchmade Claymore series offers both Drop Point and Tanto blade profiles to suit different cutting needs. You can learn more about how these profiles perform in our ultimate guide to blade profiles. Users can also choose between plain edges or serrated combo edges.
Is the Benchmade Claymore ambidextrous?
While the push-button is primarily positioned for right-handed use, the Benchmade Claymore remains accessible for lefties. The deep-carry pocket clip is fully reversible, and the push-button can be easily actuated with the index finger of the left hand.
Why is the Benchmade Claymore popular for tactical use?
The Benchmade Claymore is highly regarded because it balances extreme structural strength with a slender, lightweight profile. Details like the Morse code FTE (Front Toward Enemy) on the handle and the corrosion-resistant blade coating highlight its design as a dedicated, reliable tool for professionals.
