Benchmade has a long history of making high quality automatic knives. With autos being legal now in most states, and the last few falling thanks to the work of Knife Rights<\/a>, they\u2019re becoming more popular than ever. To feed this need, Benchmade<\/a> just released another auto geared towards EDC use, the Mini Claymore OTF<\/a>.<\/p>\n The new Mini Claymore is a double-action, out-the-front automatic. It\u2019s a compact and lightweight alternative to many of the autos on the market. The Mini Claymore has a 3.02 inch CPM-D2 steel double-edged dagger blade, a lightweight Grivory handle. It\u2019s available in Black or Ranger Green. <\/p>\n The Mini Claymore uses an ambidextrous thumb slide to activate the blade and comes with a pocket clip set up for tip down carry. The weight is only 2.97 ounces making this a knife that you could forget that you were carrying. At least until you need it. <\/p>\n The Mini Claymore is made in the USA and backed by Benchmade\u2019s usual warranty and Lifesharp services. MSRP is $350.00. <\/p>\n Overall Length: 7.14 in.![\"\"](\"https:\/\/cdn0.thetruthaboutguns.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Claymore1-scaled.jpg\")
