The Claymore deploys with a thumb slide, locks in either direction with no manual reset, and runs ambidextrously for either hand. Made in Oregon, USA, and backed by Benchmade's lifetime warranty and free LifeSharp re-sharpening for the life of the knife.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDouble-action OTF mechanism:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thumb-slide deployment and retraction in either direction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCPM-D2 tool steel blade:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.89-inch double-edge dagger, 60-62HRC, PVD-coated in Smoke Gray.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrivory® handle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Glass-filled thermoplastic composite.

The double-action thumb slide lets the knife fire and retract on the same control, so closing requires no reset, no second button, and no two-handed manipulation. The 3.89-inch double-edge dagger commits the geometry to a tactical role rather than a utility cutter, with a piercing tip and symmetrical edges for control under pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Grivory® handle drops weight to 2.97 ounces while resisting water, salt, and temperature swings — a meaningful spec for operators carrying through coastal, humid, or extreme-cold environments. CPM-D2 powder-metallurgy tool steel runs 60-62HRC, hardness on the upper end for an OTF, with the wear and corrosion resistance to back it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpec\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMechanism\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDouble-Action Out-The-Front Automatic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDouble-Edge Dagger\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCPM-D2 Tool Steel (60-62HRC)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePVD, Smoke Gray\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3.89\" \/ 9.88cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.116\" \/ 2.95mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOpen Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e8.9\" \/ 22.61cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eClosed Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.01\" \/ 12.73cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Thickness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.521\" \/ 13.23mm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrivory®\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Color\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2.97oz \/ 84.2g\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePocket Clip\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDeep Carry, Tip-Down, Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmbidextrous\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMade in Oregon, USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarranty\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBenchmade Lifetime Warranty + LifeSharp service\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy tacticaledge.com Carries It\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBenchmade is a foundational brand in this lineup — Oregon-made, lifetime-backed, and trusted across military and LE communities for over four decades. The Claymore brings Benchmade's OTF capability to the duty-grade tier with CPM-D2 steel, a true double-action mechanism, and a Grivory handle that holds up where harsher environments would compromise softer materials. For operators who carry an OTF as a real tool rather than a desk knife, the Claymore earns the spot.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Claymore OTF legal where I am?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOTF and automatic knife laws vary by state and locality. The customer is responsible for verifying state, county, and municipal regulations before ordering. Benchmade requires acceptance of the AKOA (Automatic Knife Owner Agreement) at checkout for automatic knives. Active-duty military and LE personnel are typically exempt from most automatic knife restrictions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it ship to APO\/FPO addresses?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. tacticaledge.com ships free to all APO and FPO addresses. Automatic knives may carry additional restrictions on overseas shipment; reach out before ordering if you have questions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow does CPM-D2 compare to standard D2?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCPM-D2 is a powder-metallurgy version of conventional D2 tool steel. The smaller, more uniform grain structure improves toughness and edge stability, which is why Benchmade selected it for a dedicated tactical OTF.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is LifeSharp?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLifeSharp is Benchmade's free in-house re-sharpening service. Send the knife in and Benchmade will sharpen it back to factory edge, clean it, oil it, and adjust it as needed — for the life of the knife. There's also a paid membership tier with expedited service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs the Grivory handle as durable as G10?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDifferent material, different trade-offs. Grivory is a glass-filled thermoplastic widely used on production automatic knives — lighter than G10, with strong impact and weather resistance. G10 is more rigid and abrasion-resistant. For an OTF where weight and weatherproofing matter most, Grivory is purpose-built.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I deploy and retract with one hand?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The double-action thumb slide handles both deployment and retraction on the same control, and the knife is fully ambidextrous.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs this the same Claymore as the 9070 fixed-blade automatic?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. The 9070 Claymore is Benchmade's push-button automatic folder. The 3370GY is the OTF version of the Claymore family — a different mechanism class entirely, with the blade deploying linearly out the front rather than pivoting.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Benchmade","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44165403344995,"sku":"35962","price":400.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0636\/7546\/5827\/files\/35962.jpg?v=1778173570","url":"https:\/\/tacticaledge.com\/products\/benchmade-3370gy-claymore","provider":"tacticaledge.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
