CPM MagnaCut – Advanced Stainless Performance

The 98 mm Drop Point blade is crafted from CPM MagnaCut powder steel, known for its exceptional corrosion resistance, toughness, and edge retention. By minimizing chromium carbides in its structure, MagnaCut achieves a refined microstructure that makes sharpening easier while maintaining high wear resistance.

With a hardness rating of approximately 60–62 HRC, CPM MagnaCut blends the toughness of high-strength tool steels with the stainless properties needed for marine environments. This makes it an outstanding choice for fishing, boating, and other water-based activities.

The blade features a matte Stonewash finish that helps conceal scratches and signs of use. Upper jimping along the spine provides a secure thumb rest, improving control and precision during demanding cutting tasks. The partially serrated edge enhances performance when cutting ropes, straps, and fibrous materials.

Reliable AXIS® Lock System

The Adira is equipped with Benchmade’s proven AXIS® Lock, valued for its strength, dirt resistance, and ambidextrous operation. The blade deploys quickly using dual orange thumb studs, allowing fast and convenient one-handed opening for both right- and left-handed users.

Durable and Water-Ready Handle

The handle scales are made from deep blue Grivory®, a lightweight and highly durable synthetic material resistant to moisture and environmental stress. The contoured shape and textured surface provide a firm grip, even when hands are wet or dirty — an essential feature for marine applications.

A reversible pocket clip allows comfortable carry, and a lanyard hole with included orange paracord adds both functionality and improved visibility.

The Benchmade 18060S Adira is an excellent choice for users who require dependable performance, corrosion resistance, and practical features for fishing, boating, and everyday outdoor use.
