In this video I’m getting inside the Claymore OTF, newest Benchmade Auto knife to enter the EDC space.
There’s also a surprise: a glimpse into my life-long obsession with automatic knives.
Disclaimer: this video is for entertainment purposes only! Performing the disassembly shown in this video is easy, but the reassembly is nearly impossible! Don’t attempt this at home or you may experience an embarrassing moment when shipping a baggie of parts to Benchmade, without a warranty coverage, voided by You.

Hopefully you’ll find this excursion into the world of Benchmade overthinking and overpricing useful and an excursion into my obsession entertaining!

That knife that was gifted to you is awesome. The fact that it was made in a prison with limited resources and had to be made in secret makes it even more impressive.

@CuttingBoardRx 5 месяцев назад

I think if it was recreated with modern components, it would be a hit!

@jays8662 5 месяцев назад

I think I would prefer the gulag knife over that claymore. Keep the videos coming, great content as always.

@CuttingBoardRx 5 месяцев назад

Thanks! Keep spreading the word, the more subs small channels get, the less mental garbage will be spreading from so called “influencers”

@ElCapAddict 5 месяцев назад

That is the first time I’ve seen the springs hidden under a plate and pinned to the button. That gulag knife is quite good for what I imagine would be very rudimentary tool access. Thanks!

@CuttingBoardRx 5 месяцев назад

The Shootout has a similar design except it’s not pinned to the switch.

Hey Mr. CBR, first off this video was very informative. That you so much. As far as the Russian prison knife. I’ve owned probably 15+ over my years as a collector. The hole on the blade was almost certainly for a swinging guard that was very prevalent on the Russian prison knives. If you would like some reference photos I would be happy to send them to you.

@CuttingBoardRx 4 месяца назад

Sure thing, the email address is in the channel description. Thanks!

@rayjensen8794 4 месяца назад

@@CuttingBoardRx I’ve sent some reference photos to your email! I also somehow managed to lose one of the locking tab springs… so I’ll be looking for that

@21_Cabbage_ 5 месяцев назад

An interesting video. Thanks for sharing. I can never understand your opening though. Hi knife people both lady and gentlemen?

@CuttingBoardRx 5 месяцев назад

I’m saying “Hi there, knife people! Hello Lady and Gentlemen” Is your hearing ok? You’re the first person to hear this wrong 😆

@21_Cabbage_ 5 месяцев назад

"Lady" being singular throws off the parallelism, but I guess that's the joke. I have kin still in Tolyatti Russia.@@CuttingBoardRx

I don't think there is anyone brave enough to deliberately send you knives for testing🤣

@CuttingBoardRx 5 месяцев назад

Hah! Just 10 short years back Benchmade used to show destructive tests of their own on RU-vid. They allowed the pre-George BHQ channel to test their knives in harsh conditions outdoors.

@elde667 5 месяцев назад

Very interesting and educational. Thank you.

@JT--XL365 2 месяца назад

the materials the claymores are made are minimal at best then the price tag they put on it is ridiculous, do better benchmade

@CuttingBoardRx 2 месяца назад

CPM D2 is an excellent steel, it is 3x tougher than ingot D2, as I showed in several tests/videos.

@xxxrobxxxzombiexxx 3 месяца назад

big ask but could you get the dimensions of the tiny retainer springs on the sides? i lost one can't find it anywhere after it shot across the room and I don't want to beg benchmade to take it in for repairs.

@CuttingBoardRx 3 месяца назад

The two springs are identical so if you only lost one, you could measure the other. Also, I lost a spring out of the Shootout and was able to make one out of a mechanical pencil spring by unwinding it first and then rewinding it over the shank of an undersized drill bit. As long as it fits into the recess on the gate it should be fine.
