The Benchmade 9070SBK Claymore is a military automatic knife whose "explosive" and reliable design is inspired by one of the most famous directional mines. The Benchmade 9070SBK-1 Claymore knife uses premium CPM-D2 steel with impressive retention, lightweight Grivory laminate liners and an armored locking mechanism that sets a new standard for durability. The result is a lightweight and reliable tactical knife for those looking for uncompromising solutions. Powdered CPM-D2 steel The blade is made of costly CPM- D2 steel hardened to 60-62 HRC . CPM-D2 is a powdered variant of air-hardened D2 steel, but with much higher retention and a modified carbide microstructure, which makes the blade eminently wear-resistant, impressively long 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 many years. When choosing a knife made of such steel, it is worth getting a diamond sharpener, since sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient. Armored head The slim drop-point blade, 86 mm in length, is coated with a black cerakote coating, which protects against corrosion, minor scratches and emphasizes the tactical nature of the knife. The blade has a strong stock 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. Combo blade A perfectly sharp cutting edge, a strong hilt and a flat grind ensure aggressive cutting, and good penetration. The back of the blade is serrated , which makes it easier to cut hard (e. g. plastic and bone) and fibrous materials (ropes, belts, tapes).
Combo blades (a combination of a smooth and serrated cutting edge) are mostly chosen by soldiers, rescue workers and those looking for tools with a wider range of applications. Instant unfolding The main advantage of the automatic knife, is the comfortable and ultra-fast unfolding system . Unlike models with an assisted head, in an automatic knife, unfolding the blade requires only pressing a button, which is responsible for releasing the lock and activating the powerful spring. Folding the blade requires pressing the button again and manually retracting the blade. Such functionality makes "automatics" 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 features an additional locking mechanism, which prevents accidental unfolding of the blade during handling and provides additional security during operation. Extreme caution and prudence are recommended when using the automatic knife. Reinforced handle The Benchmade 9070SBK Claymor has molded Grivory plastic liners in black. The glass-epoxy laminate used is characterized by light weight, high mechanical strength, resistance to water, temperature change, as well as many acids and solvents. The handle, which features a modern tactical design, primarily provides a stable, comfortable and reliable grip. The handle is wider in the central part and at the base of the knife, and has been applied to its surface with mottled inserts that make it virtually impossible for the knife to slip out of your hand. To increase the reliability and durability of the design, the knife uses full steel liners . Discreet carrying of the knife in the pocket is made possible by a high-set clip with the possibility of attaching on two sides of the liners.
