Benchmade Claymore Series

The Benchmade Claymore series was introduced in the early 2020s as a family of automatic knives, described by Benchmade itself as an “explosive” new design, inspired by the name of the Claymore directional mine. Based on the original Claymore model, the series was expanded in the following years: in addition to the classic design, more compact mini variants were added, and later also OTF (Out-the-Front) versions within the Claymore family. The common denominator of the series is a focus on rapid deployment and a concept designed for robust, professional use, which Benchmade itself positions in the context of “field” and “in uniform.”
