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 4300BK-02 CLA updates this ever-present automatic for a new generation. Designed with purpose and built to last, the 4300BK-02 CLA sets a high bar for durability and performance matched only by our promise that it will be yours, for life.

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.
