Description
Benchmade Autocrat 3400BK-1 – 3.71" CPM-S30V OTF Automatic
Continuing the precedent for speed and style set by the original 3400 Autocrat, the Benchmade Autocrat 3400BK-1 brings OD Green G10 to Benchmade's out-the-front platform. The Autocrat was Benchmade's first OTF to use composite handles, blending the durability and wear resistance of G10 with quick, positive double-action deployment. The dual-edge CPM-S30V dagger blade serves EDC and tactical users alike.
At 3.93 ounces the Autocrat carries light for a full-size OTF, and the black-coated 3.71" blade fires and retracts with the sliding thumb switch, no flicking or wrist action needed.
