I've had this blade for several years. And have NO complaints what so ever. I have used it for trenching, carving out floor joists to fit in sewer line or other types of plumbing lines. I have used it as a small pry bar to pry out rocks and concrete. It's been a blessing to carry this blade.

[@DobermansRock]

I have used mine a couple times when the point on our jackhammer at work broke. All the stuff that breaks other knives. The 375 Ranger's through. Wish Benchmade had more focus on military knives. Bet they could trick up a K55K into the current times.

[@goo5976]

just so everyone knows, the serrations on the back of the blade are used for sawing, fire steel striking, widdling, and reverse combat raking. The grooves on the back of the knife are used as a hammer or added grip for reverse combat. Great ranger knife.

[@murrayannandale]

"Not shaving as many arm hairs off as I would like". That no BS talk is what makes me buy Benchmade

[@frentspilner1912]

I'm impressed. No BS and getting right to the demos. Subbing.

[@SpecO1llI]

Great knife! I have had this for almost a year, one of the best knives I own.

[@abot19]

To all those people saying a "I cringed/puked when they did that" . God damn it grow a pair. These are tests to put it to the limit.

[@GetTheFO]

Sorry he offended you. Maybe not everyone believes in a man in the sky. Ever think about that, buddy? But I'll bet you're all to quick to jump on the Muslims whenever they push their religion onto you in any way...

[@ForrestAger]

Yeah, I hate to say it but GetTheFO has a good point. I don't go to church (not saying I'm not a Christian) but I do respect other people's beliefs. Just be mindful when posting stuff bud. Cheers.

[@alexoneal1029]

Good realistic hard use test ---the Adamas held up very well...glad I purchased one...great knife!...

[@emiliostone4134]

I had been eyeing this knife for a while. I’m glad to finally own one....

[@CrackkedMycelium]

Not one word about the out of the box lack of sharpness of the serrations, which is my only inquiry. Very impressive durability for D2. Love the simplicity and utility of this knife

[@markj7579]

Okay! Well my local sporting goods store has a new one for $67 on sale out the door. I think I better get it! Appreciate your time putting this through it's paces so I don't have to. Thank you!!

[@knifeloverdude]

i waited sooo long for this

[@xXxIrishkidxXx]

This is the greatest knife I've ever bought. I use it every day and none of my other knives even compare to what it does.

[@orionv.13]

Now thats how you test a knife! Great job I'm glad to see a knife company showing how good their knives can handle! Hear that Gerber this is how you show off your knives.

[@cwrowe]

I agree. Benchmade the best

[@havemikki]

Nice!!! probably the best"real"test that they've done. looking forward to seeing more like this!

[@achimgeist5185]

I own the Adamas 375BK (D2) and now the 375BK-1 (CPM CruWear), both knives are really really good and in my opinion both absolutely top full steel knives. The D2 version shows how good D2 steel can be, great heat treatment, tough and this with 60-62 HRC 👍 The CPM CruWear version is crazy good, CruWear is a crazy tough steel and this with 63-65 HRC 👍👍The sheath is great too (actually I don't like molded plastic sheaths, I prefer kydex or leather, but the Adamas sheath is an exception).

[@briantaylor340]

I have a 275 and an Arvensis, you just sold me on this knife. I'll be ordering one.. This is perfect for a hiking knife..

[@jasong9502]

Brian Taylor no way this is a hiking knife! That’s what folding light weight knives are for... like the spyderco Manix 2LW or the Mini grip

[@japan3501]

Point review, great, bench made the best! from Japan！

[@JoeC92]

Whats the use of the back serrated portion of the blade? Can you use it for anything, it almost looks like it could be used as a saw for some tinder etc but not sure if its sharp etc.

[@budoka92]

please make more of these videos 😀

[@galenstreet519]

What stone do you use to sharpen the knife

[@youshotonce]

I live in canada, quebec, could i ship this blade over here ? I would love to have one

[@knifeloverdude]

please do a test on the new SCOP dagger with the single edged dagger

[@762X39KALASHNIKOV]

I can only imagine your hand slipping while jamming it so hard……wish you safe future testing...

[@8dollars276]

I was just thinking the same thing.

[@superlardo77]

havent tested it out myself yet but im glad i have this knife! i only buy from benchmade.

[@ogarzabello]

What's the spine of the knife for???

[@LMarshall32]

That 375 was tested like a BOSS!!!

[@ogenmatic]

A great knife by a STILL great company.

[@DobermansRock]

Got mine new for $144.95 And I have to say its hands down the best fixed blade I have ever owned. And damn if its not tuff as nails. Shit my only gripe is I looked for a gripe. Man camping this thing is a dream for dinner tasks. Good for setting up camp. Hacking up some wood, cutting rope, popping beer tops and its fun to throw. Going to put G-10 scales on mine. After that it will be like the 162 only with a rope saw on the top of the blade and a proper hilt for pounding. Got a friend we are brain storming a sheath. RLTW NSDQ.

[@mattiassogna3058]

I am assuming the main function of the Adamas is a combat/tactical blade. Is this correct? Hey

[@CoonassJedi]

It comes with paracord to do a cord wrap of your choice. But i do wish they would offer g10 scales

[@chriszeravica8233]

Can you do the 275?

[@MrGunman11]

Can regular civis purchase a black class adamas auto knife if legal in our state?

[@Kamikazekman]

BEST. JOB. EVER.

[@rileyt3072]

Bring back these videos! I'd love to see more tests on newer products!

[@mihovildanicic5305]

In all the videos on youtube i never saw anyone use the serrated edge. PLEASE film that too, it's a dealmaker or dealbraker for me. Thank you.

[@eustaceking2164]

Just bought one

[@stefanwolf88]

Will we see that model without the sertation on the back - not so comfortable for hunting purposes? Very good blade shape and overall dimensions. Cheers from Bulgaria! And please make 14205 again!!!

[@melvynmulder4158]

You guys should also say what's the price of the knife

[@ERdg0R]

Почему бы Вам не оставлять ссылку на магазин где можно было бы купить Вашу продукцию или конкретный но демонстрируемый в видео-ролике!?

[@marknarvaez8852]

Good knife but did u say D2 steel ?

[@mealex303]

price?

[@FactFinderGeneral]

Interesting but other D2 w/ G10 options of similar size are significantly cheaper from other decent companies. Quality companies are bringing decent materials cheaper each year but Benchmade still offers something like the Griptillian for almost double knives of similar material, construction, and quality. I'm not a fan of cold steels marketing but the new Recon 1 could keep its own and is under half the price of this. Maybe need to readdress this at some point, though I'm sure fans that don't care about practicality will continue buying them.

[@tronclay]

I wish I had a Tracy!

[@wvwolfpack4882]

Tracy should do the videos with this guy as the handsome assistant

[@AlexIsThEBeAstX9]

Is this knife considered a hunting knife ?

[@BrodyToYou]

What kind of fire steel is that?

[@zleggitt1989]

+Emanuel EmanuelB d2

[@CASTRO45ACP]

D2

[@chriszeravica8233]

I mean do a video on the 275

[@LANZ1264]

i died when they put it in the dirt

[@clininemills3059]

+LANZ1264 I agree. Im not digging in the sort with my knife. I'll use my hands and let then get messed up first. I want that knife sharp!! but i can understand why they do that test

[@ryanheinrick4955]

clinine mills you do know you can re sharpen knives right? get a strop

[@jb99154]

You should make handle scales for the 375. I think I would like it a lot better

[@jayson201]

+Jonathan Bauler why not make our own handle scales?

[@CinelliBinelli]

+Jayson201 I don't know how :/

[@willis936]

tbh the skeleton style is what is drawing me to this model the most. There aren't many around like it.

[@fatleo]

I did many super secret special ops missions with this and took down many threats

[@Pieslayer1992]

Vicar o.o please do all the new blades

[@redwoodreaver4094]

Does Benchmade warranty that type of use? I ask cause I put my knives through similar use/abuse.

[@chumccurry1765]

This review is good.

[@jdavis882]

375 is a fixed blade. 275 is a folder.

[@XxSCR34MxX]

Who knew a 2 X 4 would make such a good cutting board?

[@willis936]

This thing would be perfect if those serrations were gone. I want to get it but the thought of riding up and putting pressure against those serrations isn't too appealing.

[@schizm101]

mustache wax is a great fire starter!

[@bigblackclicketyclac]

@MeGunman11 you can purchase the knife if you qualify with any of the factors of the Auto Knife Acknowledgement form that you will also have to sign when purchasing any auto folder from Benchmade

[@user-lb1fj5my7c]

👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@sagemyers8868]

could I use this as a edc knife

[@murrayannandale]

Finding out part of the proceeds goes to military charities... finally made me buy the 275. I'm not even American.

[@cortizone7094]

คลิปนี้นำเสนอ มีดนิดหนึ่ง

[@Progulschik]

Наверное у неё есть на это причины. Меня больше интересуют зубья на обухе. Бенчи не показали их в работе. Это декоративная фигня, или будет вторая часть? Обоюдоострый кончик конечно внушил.

[@knifeloverdude]

[@navyjaa1916]

chop chop chop......chop everything

[@noahcorpus6609]

Though I love knives and would love to have some of the nicer/more expensive knives my Benchmade auto I bought around 1996-97 when I went to work for a local PD in Ms was put through hell for the next ten years cutting plenty of seat belts, breaking glass in cars ( with locked keys with babies still in it) and houses on fire (with elders still in it), even bull rope that had a very large pissed off bull tangled up, still have that little auto today and besides a little duller and discolored it still preforms and will never leave my side, the only thing the knife I have needed was maybe a stronger blade release button, mine opened in my pocket a few times giving me a bloody leg on a few occasions on duty.

[@DobermansRock]

2550???

[@glockbrothers]

Greatest test ever on the Benchmade Adamas. Thanks Benchmade proven the best once again.

[@coecovideo]

I actually use the knife's spine against the firestarter ...not the blade ...

[@orionv.13]

that's to show how it can still have a good edge after using a fire steel to it

[@timothyfahlen2736]

I keep cringing that he will accidentally test the blade on his finger! Strangely curious...

[@marknarvaez8852]

Ok u did say D2 daang it obviously held up

[@warlockua9913]

Нож для зомби апокалипсиса :)

[@casey197930]

Cool test, but who wears a bracelet? Thought I clicked on a 1981 hair band video. Btw, your Saddle mountain skinner came dull as hell, and the edge profile was all over the place. I fixed it but damn guys..

[@FujiShiina]

This is one of dream knives, too bad i'am hellabroke

[@surviving.not.thriving1061]

save for it I had to save money from every paycheque for a year to get my benchmade 940 and I don't regret it at all well worth the cost

[@mochipink5875]

in case noone menitoned it before. it's "Manila" (1x L) not "Manilla". i have to know it because i was born there.

[@bigblackclicketyclac]

***@MrGunman11

[@rwgibson1]

I vomited upon seeing the knife in the dirt lol. Although I have been that u kind to mine lol.

[@86dM]

[@MrShlangman]

Похоже на то....)

[@graveytrain5113]

@645...LOOKS LIKE THE TIP IS GONE!!

[@lionheart4328]

I have a Machete

[@Progulschik]

Чувак скоро на ногах волосы будет брить.)))

[@terrymonk4991]

One folds, one doesn't

[@billdeckelman6578]

Shame on you guys for ramming that knife in the ground.

[@JohnDoe-fd3nu]

As someone who has one... you can abuse this knife far harder than what they did in the video...

[@gavinblack7154]

Lol it's a test

[@chrisanderson60]

I cringed when they started stabbing it into the dirt. Does anybody treat a knife that costs this much that badly? Why no use of the serrations?

[@ericpeterson3318]

Chris Anderson this is the company that made this video to show how tough their knife is

[@nqkoisii]

That is a lot of money for knife without a handle i like it a lot but is too expensive AGAIN

[@logmeindog]

You guys must not follow OSHA. Good knife though!

[@comfusedpassanger3399]

Oh, I was on board until she started digging in the ground and rocks with the blade..(rather use a pointed branch) - NO steel can resist getting the edge destroyed by such a destructive "use"..

[@johnsmith-vn9zs]

THAT GIRL IS RIDICULOUSLY IRRESISTIBLE!

[@hristolesev5480]

Expencive knife, but the qualiti is too low. I bought my adamas in 2018 and I ll be happy if someone wants to buy mine, but for that price.... Very dissapointed

[@l75rd83]

I though my mora was good

[@Taheelur123]

i dont care if its a lightsaber or a 10 dollar pen knife that you're jabbing into the ground. this was just painful to watch

[@KosukiFire]

I agree, to see such a beautiful work of art as that knife is being abused... Almost had to skip ahead lol

[@MrShlangman]

Tracy is so hot in this shirt..... Woooooo!!)

[@jojojeep1]

This guy is a beast of a knife tester but I guess if you break it you could just reach in the bin and grab another it’s not like you’re paying for it

[@DEADBOYCODY]

Maybe wear gloves next time? :)

[@schizm101]

stupid top serrations :(

[@Anton7487]

одному мне показалась, что подруга похудела?

[@robsteries]

maybe just with your hands and the end,...phew (those strange stupid republicans always)

[@time2rime]

Great blade horrible shovel

[@adamgreene831]

NEVER EVER JAB YOUR KNIFE INTO THE GROUND.... that test was just flat out ridiculous

[@Dyrdeksk8r]

+Adam Greene its a test, to show the strength of the blade, obviously you would never do that. it shows that whatever you put it through it will last

[@nitrorc4life1]

Well this test was what I needed to see if it is worth a purchase for a role that could see as hard or harder use then this video showed, so great video for me. Oh I do have a couple blades that I "stab" Into the ground as it is their primary function(regrind and convex edge) to cut roots while digging/planting in certain cases.
