Benchmade Autocrat Black DLC S30V Olive Drab G10 OTF Automatic Knife 3400BK-1

The Benchmade Black Class Autocrat is the first full sized, out-the-front, double action automatic from Benchmade to offer composite G10 handle scales. You get the same smooth, strong, double-action operation and quality fit and finish with the comfort and light weight of smooth milled and contoured G10 scales. This version comes with a black DLC coated, double edge S30V blade and Olive Drab G10 handle scales.

Brand new, direct from Benchmade Knives, USA.

Blade: The double-edged dagger-style blade is made from American CPM-S30V stainless steel. The blade features a full length fuller on both sides of the blade for weight reduction and strength with a durable, non-reflective and corrosion resistant black Diamond-Like Carbon (DLC) coating. The blade has razor sharp grinds on both sides of the knife and deploys with fluidity and speed via the spine slide making the knife fully ambidextrous.

Handle: The handles of the 3400 are dual, smooth milled and contoured Olive Drab G10 scales that are supported by an aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum handle. The G10 offers comfort and traction in equal measure and are attached via black coated stainless steel hardware.

Carries via a reversible (tip-down), black DLC coated, stainless steel deep carry clip.

CPM-S30V: A powdered stainless steel with high levels of edge retention and corrosion resistance S30V was developed specifically for use in knife blades. The powdered process gives it a very refined grain, improving the sharpness and toughness. S30V is a great, all around steel with high levels of performance.
