The best in my book

Owned over a hundred knives none have come close to the G10 CLA

Tough knife

I'd give it 4. 5 if I could. Unfortunate it just wasn't very sharp when it arrived. I ran it over a whetstone, and now it's razor sharp. The build quality is impressively high. Despite the light weight and slim profile, it feels very substantial in the hand. The G10 and the steel both feel extremely durable.

I returned the automatic knife after 25 years that the safety was loose on. The knife was warranted $200 towards a new knife because my knife have been discontinued and parts were not available.

I think bench made is excellent. I was treated with integrity and professionalism and treated with fairness on a return knife that had been discontinued. Parts were no longer available, but the customer service people were great about giving me a credit towards a new knife, even though mine was not repairable after 25+ years. I would recommend bench made to anyone. They stand up to their warranty and their business model and personnel are the best. I would not hesitate to buy another knife and have done so. Thanks, Benchmade may God bless you and all your employees and prosper you.

CLA Perfection

I own many Benchmade knives and they're pretty much all tactical in style, but this CLA is beautiful like a gentleman's knife. It operates very smooth and you can feel the high craftsmanship. It's slim and not very bulky so it fits perfectly in my pocket. The CLA has become my new daily carry.

The Ultimate EDC

Reliable and formidable. I've carried a knife on me my whole life. This is the best one I've ever used. Razor sharp with a comfortable grip and easy to use. I'll never go back to using inferior blades. Quality, excellence, and mystique make it worth every penny.

The Best

This CLA is perfect for everyday use and the automatic blade is so smooth and quick! The black on black is super clean and looks great with the engraving I had done.

Great for everyday carry

I got this Benchmade knife for my husband, and it's been one of his favorite gifts. The automatic action is smooth and reliable-opens quickly with a solid, confident feel every time. It's definitely built sturdy; you can tell right away it's made with high-quality materials and meant to last. He uses it for everyday tasks and it holds an edge really well, plus it feels comfortable and secure in hand. The craftsmanship is exactly what you'd expect from Benchmade-clean, durable, and dependable. If you're looking for a strong, well-made automatic knife that can handle regular use, this is a great choice. Highly recommend.

I love this knife, it's definitely my favorite to carry.

Built Like a Tank

I recently picked up a Benchmade spring-assisted knife, and it's been an outstanding addition to my gear. The action is smooth and reliable. Opening and closing feels effortless yet solid. The blade arrived razor sharp and held its edge well through regular use. Fit and finish are excellent.

Best knife I've used daily

I was issued a bench made in the Air Force and loved it so much as an everyday carry I bought 3 more since. This one was a gift for my cousin that retired Air Force. Thanks!

Best knife

I always thought Bencmade knives were overpriced but decided to try one when my everyday carry broke. I can't say how impressed I am with this knife. The quality is beyond expectations and the warranty alone is worth the price if you use a knife daily. Thanks for a great product!, This won't be the last one I purchase.
