Product Description

The Benchmade Claymore 9071SBK-1 is the tanto combo configuration of the AXIS Assist Claymore folder in ranger green Grivory — D2 tool steel with a black coating, tanto blade profile with a combo edge, for buyers who want the Claymore's spring-assisted deployment with a reinforced tip for penetration tasks and serrated bite for cordage.

The blade is D2, the high-carbon high-chromium tool steel used across the Claymore family — exceptional wear resistance and edge retention at the cost of regular oiling and drying to prevent surface oxidation. The tanto profile reinforces the tip for penetration tasks where a drop point would deflect under load; the angular tanto geometry concentrates mass at the tip. The combo edge adds serrated sections for rope, webbing, and synthetic materials that resist a plain edge. Ranger green Grivory (glass-filled nylon) handle scales are rigid and moisture-resistant. AXIS Assist deploys via thumb stud with spring assistance — not an automatic, legal where automatics are restricted.

Ships same or next business day from Knifeworks in Columbia, Louisiana.
