Benchmade CLA AUTO Folding Knife Black Plain Blade, Black G10 Handles

When speed, strength, and stealth are non-negotiable, the Benchmade 4300BK CLA (Composite Lite Auto) steps in with a perfect balance of precision and power. As one of the most refined side-opening automatics in the Benchmade lineup, the CLA delivers reliable, lightning-fast deployment in a slim, lightweight design.

At the heart of this auto is a 3.40" drop point blade crafted from 154CM stainless steel—an American-made alloy prized for its edge retention, corrosion resistance, and easy maintenance. The black Cerakote finish provides a tactical, non-reflective surface while boosting wear protection. The drop point blade shape enhances control and tip strength, making it ideal for both detailed slicing and heavier utility work.

Built to ride discreetly in your pocket, the CLA’s black contoured G10 handle offers a secure, textured grip with ergonomic shaping that fits naturally in hand. At just 3.47 oz, this automatic folder is light enough for daily carry but robust enough to answer the call in high-demand scenarios.

The push-button automatic mechanism provides instant blade deployment, while the integrated safety switch prevents accidental activation. A deep-carry pocket clip (reversible tip-up) rounds out the package, keeping the CLA low-profile and ready when you need it most.
