Benchmade Mini Adamas: Seriously Stout. Possibly the most perfect bug out EDC knife

The Benchmade Mini Adamas is an over-the-top small folder that deserves respect regardless if it fits into your daily carry needs. As a fan of the full sized Adamas, this smaller, lighter version is just as over-built and purpose-driven as it's big brother.

Doc I have 2 full custom adamas knives, one fixed one regular. I think you would appreciate them.

My favorite these days is a Mora Robust Trade Knife. Clips on my shorts pocket and stays there essentially all day. Remarkably useful at work. Love this thing!

[@jonbarlock848]

Good and informative video. People are quick to point out the negatives or things they dont like at this price point. This quality knife should do everything you need it to (within reason)

[@ironman2326]

I got this knife back in May for my 40th birthday. Got the burgundy handle. I love it! The mini adamas is perfect imo.

[@richardvirchow3390]

I stopped by to watch a review of the mini Adamas but what I found was somebody picking up & putting down a table full of knives.

[@ironman2326]

Great review! Thanks! I'm looking to one day get this knife.

[@Tedlindsay7Pointerdog]

Love my mini adamas!

[@rjlewis8346]

That auto presidio is a beast!

[@pj62775]

I have the full size 2750 Auto Adamas. I love it. I have big hands and it fits my hand perfectly. Recently went down the rabbit hole of Montana Knife Company knives. Really nice knives. I also have a nice ESEE.

Doc, you should do a video of your Deepsea

Is the surface smooth? I'm hoping to have it cerakoted black

[@michaelthompson7570]

So many knives,,so little time!

Hey Doc, I bought a (Benchmade Osbourn 940) and it's the first and so far only quality knife I own. It's my EDC knife, and I have carried it everyday for coming up in 3 years and have loved having and using it every second that I have! Have you used one? Do you own one? Just wondered what your opinion was? Thanks for all the great content, I'm so glad I found your channel and started watching your channel!

[@donttreadonme1423]

The 940 is amazing

[@austinnewby9666]

I've had it one week . It's without equal. If you don't have one get it

[@Carriesaglock]

But which color??

[@mattconklin4026]

I'm trading a 9400 for the 273 od green! Can't wait, the trades are in the mail!

[@Carriesaglock]

No Benchmade Nimravus? That’s my favorite fixed blade.

[@MichaelUhthoff]

What about that knife is good? The sheath sucks, the blade is thin, the thumb ramp is sharp, and the grips scratch fast cause they’re aluminum 😂

[@PBandy89]

Got mine yesterday having some issues with the lock seizing up. Anyone have similar problems

[@lastbesttool]

Send it back. The lockup and action should be perfect. No other option for a Benchmade is acceptable in my opinion.

What kind of watch are you wearing in this video? Model

I gather you're not much a Spyderco fan? I guess I like the same thing in sporting knives as I do with kitchen knives- as thin and they can be while being strong enough with minimal scales/handles. Most Spyderco knives have just enough handle to enclose the blade and they're very light. My favorites like the Delica, Dragonfly and Native are all pretty thin and very light. Definitely there's a place for burly knives but I use knives for knife jobs, axes for axe jobs and pry bars for pry bar jobs. I hadn't heard that Mel Pardue had died. That's sad news, RIP Mr. Pardue!

[@bigneek714]

Spyderco is a much better brand than Benchmade. Better ergonomics, better edge geometry, and better steel choices with excellent heat treat. The K390 Japanese made Endura, Delica, Stretch etc will literally blow your mind performance wise.

[@mattconklin4026]

My spyderco rock jumper is fantastic, super slim & super slicy

[@keystonedaytrip238]

The Bugout is a wuss compared to the mini Adamas

[@3vil3lvis]

When you consider Benchmade's Politics, Its too expensive at any price.

[@Muscon01]

lol

[@DeRock401]

Luckily I don’t bring politics into my life. Especially when making a knife purchase lol.

[@jeffcon123]

@@DeRock401 lol amen.. true enough politics RUINS everything

[@DeRock401]

The constant using 2 hands to open a bench made axis lock knife got to me. lol. Had to stop watching.

[@Rock8664]

It doesn't take two hands to open nor close this knife
