[SHOT Show 2020] New Benchmade Knives & Casual Apparel

Benchmade debuted nine new knives at this year’s SHOT Show. As you would expect, several high-quality assisted open folders were on the list, along with three auto open knives that were getting much earned attention.

Here’s some new offerings for 2020:

Autocrat 3400 Series

The model 3400 Autocrat is a front open auto, double edge dagger that is ideal for every day carry. G10 scales with black anodized aluminum frame. A reversible deep carry pocket clip makes EDC a breeze. The mechanism is a double action out-of-the-front automatic. Blade is premium CPM-S30V stainless steel.

Also new for 2020, Benchmade has added a line of casual outdoor apparel for both men and women.
