Benchmade 273GY-1 Mini Adamas Folding Knife

The Benchmade 273GY-1 Mini Adamas is a compact rendition of the revered Adamas tactical knife, conceived by renowned knifemaker Shane Sibert.

Crafted with precision and robustness, the Benchmade 273GY-1 Mini Adamas showcases an ultra-hard CPM-CruWear steel blade, reinforced by G10 laminate liners and the trusted axis lock mechanism, ensuring a resilient and dependable tool.

CPM-Cruwear - The pinnacle of steel innovation

Forged from Crucible Industries LLC's latest tool steel, the CPM-Cruwear blade boasts an impressive hardness ranging between 63-65 HRC. Enhanced with vanadium, tungsten, and molybdenum additives, this steel variant delivers unparalleled wear resistance and durability, outperforming its predecessor, the D2 steel, by twofold.

To maintain its sharpness and integrity, opting for a diamond sharpener is recommended due to the steel's high hardness, which makes sharpening with standard ceramic whetstones labor-intensive and inefficient.

Armored blade

The Mini Adamas features a broad drop-point blade measuring 82mm in length, coated with a gray cerakote finish for added scratch resistance and a tactical allure. With a robust hilt and a flat grind, the blade ensures seamless cutting and penetration. At its widest point, the blade boasts a thickness of 3.5mm, while the raised back section and transverse cutters provide stability during use, catering to demanding tasks with ease.

Convenient deployment

Facilitating swift and hassle-free deployment, the blade incorporates a double-sided peg mechanism, allowing for effortless operation by both right- and left-handed individuals.

Reliable locking system

The knife employs Benchmade's signature double-sided Axis-lock mechanism, prized for its exceptional mechanical strength, resilience to dirt, and user-friendly operation, ensuring safe usage under diverse conditions.

Sturdy handle construction

The Mini Adamas features G10 plastic liners crafted with precision using advanced 3D techniques. Renowned for its lightweight yet robust nature, the glass-epoxy laminate exhibits exceptional resistance to water, temperature variations, acids, and solvents. The contoured shape, along with the cross-milling and rough texture, guarantees a secure grip and optimal comfort during prolonged use. Additionally, the semi-open handle design facilitates easy maintenance.

Versatile carrying options

Designed for discreet pocket carry, the knife boasts a high-set clip that can be conveniently mounted on either side of the handle, catering to individual preferences.
