Since Everyday Carry is a big deal amongst our readers, and most folks would arguably maintain that a knife is one of the most important pieces of EDC gear, we’re always on the lookout for nifty new blades to admire and consider. You know what they say:

“A man without a knife is a man without a life.” ~unknown

So we thought you should take a look-see of Benchmade’s newest Out the Front (OTF) knife. It’s the 3400 Autocrat, and they say this new blade blurs the lines between EDC and tactical. Well hell, just take a look at the action!

Pretty slick, amiright?

 

3400 Autocrat: According to Benchmade, this EDC and tactical lovers out-the-front is the perfect balance of speed and style.

Whether for EDC or tactical purposes, the OTF blade balances speed and style.

Here’s how the folks at Benchmade describe it:

“Defined by speed and style, our new 3400 Autocrat is the latest out-the-front technology for tactical and EDC enthusiasts alike. This knife is Benchmade’s first OTF to use composite handles, blending the durability and wear-resistance of G10 with a flash of colorful hardware and components. The dual-edge CPM-S30V blade provides users with a design for a variety of applications.”

Using G10 and a completely new mechanism, the out-the-front 3400 Autocrat from Benchmade is a game-changer with one goal in mind: to rule the pocket dump.
