Benchmade Claymore Auto Knife, Cobalt Black Blade

First of all this knife is excellent. It fires with extreme authority. Nice large safety and an excellent feel in the hand. The blade is hair shaving sharp from the factory. Secondly Bladeops is one of the best companies to do business with! They always seem to have knives in stock when everybody else is out of stock. Their prices are lower than most and they’re shipping is super fast! A+++

I haven't had this knife very long so this review is based on my initial impressions. The materials, fit and finish are great, definitely typical Benchmade quality and rate 5 stars. Lightweight with the GRN handles and the reversible deep carry pocket clip is especially nice for us left-handed people. The blade launches hard and fast, definitely the quickest opening auto knife I have owned. I deducted one star from my review because of 2 issues: The safety switch can easily be deactivated inadvertently, even while placing the knife in your pocket, and the knurling on the button could be a little more aggressive for getting a more positive purchase for your finger on the button. Overall I am very pleased with this knife and will be keeping it in my regular EDC rotation.
