Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CPM-MagnaCut different from other blade steels?
CPM-MagnaCut is a powder metallurgy steel that balances edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance better than traditional stainless steels. The composition allows for higher hardness without sacrificing durability.
How does the automatic mechanism work?
The CLA uses a push-button automatic system with an integrated safety. Press the button to deploy the blade, and the safety prevents accidental activation during pocket carry.
Can I carry this knife legally?
Automatic knife laws vary by state and locality. Check your local and state regulations before carrying any automatic knife, as some jurisdictions restrict or prohibit automatic knives.
What does the deep-carry clip design offer?
The deep-carry clip positions the knife lower in your pocket, keeping more of the handle concealed. The tip-up carry orientation allows for quick deployment when drawn.
Does this knife come with a warranty?
Benchmade backs their knives with a lifetime warranty covering manufacturing defects and offers their LifeSharp service for blade maintenance.
