I reach for my mini adamas most. I love the build quality of it. I know there are a lot of professions out there calling for different uses, but what is the knife you won’t leave home without?
Some new colors on custom 940s. I like the red
After a 10+ year hiatus of buying non benchmade knives, (normally spyderco) I have realized that there is much more than just performance when it comes to purchasing and owning a product and while I’m not giving up any of my spydies (well, my keepers) I have recently had a ridiculous customer service interaction with them (SPDCO) that made me realize they don’t stand on business when it comes to the end user or the customer. While benchmade on the other hand, will literally send you free parts without even charging you shipping and offers a truly great lifetime warranty. As I get older, I start to see the value in this more and more. Sure, their prices are high , but have y’all seen spydercos recent price increase? Not all are crazy but ALOT are. $571 msrp for the sage 5 in Rex-121 and 450+ for the chaparral is bananas. That being said, I have pretty much sold everting except my ultra exotic steels from spyderco , stuff I can’t get anywhere else and am deciding to go back to benchmade as my daily user that will see the brunt of the yearly use and abuse.
My question to y’all is this : Is benchmades magnacut worthy? Does it perform well ? Or are you sharpening / stropping it a lot ? I can’t find any edge retention tests on the mini adira specifically, anywhere. Because here is what I have boiled my two choices down to.
1: The mini adira
2 The mini Adamas.
I know their cruwear is ran harder and I appreciate that but I really like the look of the adira as well, especially in that blue and gray color-way.
Thank you for your input and feedback on this matter in advance.
Started with two loose screws and now its taken apart. As I attempt to put loctite on two screws on the back end I heard a pop. After tightening the screws blade wouldn’t deploy.
Hi all. I've been looking into getting a good daily carry knife. I really like the feel of the mini Adira in my hand. My only gripe is that the Grivory handle almost feels cheap and that it will get gouged and dinged up over time.I want a beefier EDC the feels good in the hand. I was intrigued by the mini Freek and went to my bass pro to try one out, they only had the full size Freek but it didn't seem to large in my small-ish hands and felt somewhat comfortable. Now I have my doubts that the Mini Freek will be way to small. Do I pull the tigger on the full size Freek. Mini?. or The Mini Adira. I fish sometimes but im not having my knife underwater and doubt I'll really carry it in the boat with me anyways. So between the M4 and Magnacut I don't think it's a huge deal.
Looking for an effective storage/transport option for a bunch of folders? Stumbled on this last night - about $25 on Amazon, and also waterproof. I’m about to order a second one.
Was able to snag this off GovX for $160 on clearance. Couldn’t pass it up.
Hi all, Looking at getting my first good knife. I don’t really want to start a collection just get a good do it all knife. I currently have a SOG seal pup elite and a Leatherman Wave plus. What is everyone’s opinions on what to get out of the original 940 and the M4 Freek. And what is everyone’s experience with corrosion with M4 ? Won’t be any crazy use currently just want a good knife that will last me years. Here in Aus the price difference is around $70 in favour of the 940
I picked up this short deep carry clip and a longer one thanks again for sharing or I would of ended up paying the 9 $ per clip
I was stoked to get a fixed blade bugout and they never dropped. Does anyone have any information on what happened??
34 days ago I received my brand new Wildcoast and snapped it within the first minute of opening it. The gruesome details can be found here: https://www.reddit.com/r/benchmade/s/3o9axUirUQ
Sent it into Benchmade for a warranty claim and today my brand new still sealed in the box Wildcoast showed up at my door step. No questions asked, no attempts to fix it or haggle with me over the damage being caused by my stupidity. This is the exact reason I spent the premium on Benchmade cutlery. I knew I could use it, abuse it, or even drop it tip down on the floor and they would take care of me. I truly believe I will have my cutlery until the day I die….or Benchmade shuts its doors. Gotta love Benchmade!
And all I did was drop it? Hmmmm. Got this one when they first came out. So long ago I don't even remember really. Used it daily. Pulled something out of my pocket that hooked it. It fell onto tile floor and opened as well as cracked its spine. Oh well. Served me well. Bad news is ma knife broke. Good news is I get to shop for a new one cuz it's 'useless now honey' 😎🤣
Just got this for a pretty good deal, 1st day to carry it and it’s hard not to make my new favorite. The last picture are the 2 I’m debating on.
I was out fishing with my buddy and he asked if I wanted to trade my Suspension NXT Gerber for his Bailout. Both of them were issued to us in the military (we’re able to keep them) so fair trade ig🤷♂️
940BK-2502, my local AD is actually a kitchen store / knife sharpening place and originally came to get some kitchen supplies for the wife, I’ve never seen this color combo before and paid for it as soon as the wife gave the green light. I was told there were only 1500 made, anyone have more info on it?
