Benchmade 4300BK-02 CLA OD Green G10

Benchmade 4300BK-02 CLA OD Green G10

The Composite Lite Auto (CLA) was Benchmade’s first automatic folder to feature a non-metallic handle, and it’s still a benchmark in the all-purpose, mid-sized platform category. Featuring premium CPM-MagnaCut blade steel in our Battlewash finish and a host of small refinements to the handle, the CLA 4300BK-02 and 4300BK-03 update this ever-present automatic for a new generation.

MEET THE CLA

Designed with purpose and built to last, the CLA sets a high bar for durability and performance matched only by our promise that it will be yours, for life.

HOW IT'S MADE

Laser-cut from sheets of high-grade steel, every Benchmade blade is ground, beveled, and finished with uncompromising precision. We mill and machine handles in-house to the most exacting specifications, and every knife is hand-assembled and sharpened by highly trained technicians bringing to bear over thirty years of manufacturing excellence in our state-of-the-art factory in Oregon City, Oregon.

USE & CARE

Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition:

• All steel, regardless of price and grade, can eventually rust, so it’s important to keep your knife dry and lubricated. If spotting or rust occurs, semi-chrome metal polish will often take care of it.

• Dishwashers can cause serious damage that is not covered under our warranty, so make sure to hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only, and dry thoroughly.

• Remember, knives are cutting tools, and you should never use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch, unless the knife is designed explicitly for those purposes.

• If you choose to sharpen your blade yourself, avoid grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery.

• Handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may require occasional adjustment using T6 & T10 Torx drivers. We recommend applying a small dab of releasable thread-locker as needed.
