TheBenchmade 3400BK Autocrat is a spring-loaded OTF knife, featuring a CPM-S30V steel blade, and a milled G-10 laminate handle.
The Benchmade Autocrat is a modern OTF (out of front) automatic knife, designed for everyday use, and enthusiasts of proven military solutions.
The knife has a slim dagger profile blade, made of American CPM-S30V stainless steel hardened to 58-60 HRC. The blade has two cutting edges and a matte-black DLC protective coating for increased wear resistance.
The blade is unfolded by sliding the mottled slide forward, folding only requires reversing the slide in the opposite direction.
The whole process is instantaneous and, most importantly, very safe, as the blade is locked in as many as 3 places after unfolding.
We also don't have to worry about accidentally unfolding the blade, it is ejected only after the slider is fully and consciously moved. The button has aggressive milling, so the knife can also be operated with gloves.
The mounting screws and the slider have a blue finish, which contrasts strikingly with the black color scheme and emphasizes the modern character of the knife.
Comfort and ease of handling the knife is ensured by the handle made of milled G-10 laminate. The grip has a profiled shape, its surface has been knurled, which guarantees excellent grip to the hand and prevents the knife from slipping.
TheBenchmade 3400BK Autocrat has a high-set clip that makes it easy to discreetly carry the knife in a pocket and attach it to a belt or backpack.
