I found this in my best friend’s collection and he wants to know what it’s worth. I’d like to give him a fair offer but know nothing about this one, and can’t find anything on the internet. Thank you guys!
Bought off tiktok official shop for 25% off ($225) which was a great deal I believe
My collection •Osborne 940 •Bugout 535GRY-1 •Fixed Adamas 375FE-02 •Mini Auto Adamas CF 2730-03
Thinking about picking up a Fact for $200. That a good deal?
I said I was only going to get 2 this year…. That was 10 knives ago 😅
TLDR: Does anyone have experience replacing the santoprene handles? I know I’ll need to cut these off and make my own replacements. Please send pics if you have them! Thanks in advance!
More info: This knife seems like a great edc/work/mini camping knife (at least for my usage) but the handle scales feel narrow and I’d prefer micarta or wood. Does anyone have experience replacing the santoprene handles on this or any other knife from Benchmade? I would use it as is for a while, but am 95% sure I will end up replacing them, so just looking g for more insight before I buy.
I know it will void the warranty. I get a good deal on Benchmade through work. The Hidden Canyon feels too small and the grind lines on the Saddle Mountain bother me for some reason. Also considering Spyderco Mule Team (sorry Benchmade) for same usage but the Steep Country is a better deal after buying getting a sheath and scales for the Spyderco.
Also should I send it in to get those screws replaced?
I'm a newbie in the knife space. I have a bunch of cheapies, but my first, deliberate knife purchase was a CRKT Ritual a couple months back. Since then I've been wanting something more tactical.
My LGS has a sale on Benchmade knives and I ended up snagging this Adamas for $200 out the door brand new.
I love this thing. It's just perfectly belt and looks killer. I see why Benchmade has the reputation they do.
Opened up my old military footlocker this morning to get my large flag out and saw these two issued beauties. Totally forgot about them. Never used; I used my Emerson CQC-7 and KaBar on deployments.
Benchmade goodness going back more than 20 years... all these but my current daily carry 940-1 have been with me a long time. BM has given a few of these the spa treatment...no broken parts... just was nice to have BM freshen them up.
Gave my first away for a birthday a few years ago. Picked this one up today.
Ordered a griptilian off benchmade custom shop. Didn't go crazy. No designs for the blade or anything. Does this mean the knife is built and due to ship out soon?
Happy 4th everyone. Today’s EDC has to be USA made knives. Here’s are two of my favorites.
I lost my Barrage and was hoping I could just buy another one but I don't see a model that comes with a drop point partially serrated blade. Looking at other Benchmade knives the Adamas and Adira caught my eye.
I'm trying to figure out which one I want between the two and leaning towards the Adira mainly because of the price. I'm trying to figure out if I would want to spend +$75 more on the Adamas despite the specs looking nearly identical (similar blade lengths, both magnacut, same hardness). The only major difference I see is the handle material.
is the G10 significantly more durable than the Grivory? Also, there's a 2.31oz weight difference between the two knives. looking at the photos, I'm guessing that the difference in weight between the two is due to the differences in the handle. Is the Adira more weighted at the blade while the Adamas is more balanced, or is the Adira more balanced while the Adamas is more weighted at the handle?
