The BEST Survival Knife? | Benchmade Fixed Adamas

Is the Benchmade Fixed Adamas a good survival knife? I believe so. It's ultra lightweight and is made entirely of CPM-CRUWEAR Steel.

FYI- You can adjust knife retention on the sheath.

[@jonathangeror7375]

This blade wasn't made for survival or camping. The Benchmade Adamas series was made for army rangers hence the adamas name, and each blade model is named after one of 3 operational units of the 75th ranger regiment. 175, 275, and 375.

[@brendanhatfield9484]

What does the name adamas have to do with rangers?

[@sebastianromero113]

rangers dont do survival&camping?

[@204_mod_shop]

Rangers are in the field everyday surviving... This knife is literally meant as a survival knife...

[@ursaminor3740]

@@204_mod_shop​​⁠ what he meant was that this knife is an overkill for most of us amateurs. I actually agree with that.. it’s so expensive I’d rather put it behind glass as an artifact

[@renexwing1546]

And?

[@bigmacthebusdriver]

I own one of these and decided to do my own paracord wrap on the handle. It makes the handle way more big mitt friendly!

[@snicklefitz]

Think benchmade is aiming for military/ combat use with this on. Considering it comes with the molle attachment and blade profile. 👍review

[@chrisspanks7750]

Carrying the CF F5.5. Think I heard someone makes aftermarket scales for the Adamas ,if I had 1 it would be a must

[@jeremyspaulding7735]

Definitely an awesome looking fixed blade. Would love to try this and the folder one day. Had my civivi riffle today. Pretty cool looking rings. Thanks for the chance and good luck everyone! Great review 👍

[@avocadokingyt2830]

I see your comments all the time 😂

[@prestonluscher776]

Word of advice I wouldn’t go with the Adamas I had one and it had front to back blade play when I got another it had the same issue along with some video shows the lock is weaker then most of their benchmades the fix blade is great tho

[@jdm8577]

TP Grips makes scales for the fixed Adamas. I have them and they are great!

[@johnnyeas1431]

I was going to order the adamas-375 and the tp handle scales, but I didn't because it came out to about $350 for the knife and scales, which is absurd for a 4 inch blade. Don't get me wrong. I do like it, but there's no way it's worth $350. Not even close.

[@gaberoo9099]

Sounds excellent. I have the puukko in 3V.

[@nathannettik685]

Today"s carry is a modded Kizer Guru, 5.11 AAA light, standard Sharpie and Sharpie pen.

[@VirginiaHapa]

Been carrying a Spyderco Para 3 lightweight, olight S1R baton II and the titanium Ridge wallet 👍

[@gabelewis6044]

It would be great to see some camping videos!

[@vagabond4576]

Its not that hard to get it out without force of the sheath and I`m not a big dude. Also if you want to take it out safely just break it slowly by the thumb.

[@sqhatr]

I like it I just think they could include a g10 handle or something for the price they're asking. Unfortunately not a lot of cruware fixed blades on the market.

[@andrewcowie6436]

Love the video man! Keep doing what your doing!

[@garrettbyrd8869]

You could always take out the locking screw in the sheath. The strap is to hold the knife in if you dont have the locking screw, if you have the locking screw you dont need the strap. I use this knife for work and i cant have the strap in the way when i need to grab off my belt so i use the locking screw, ive never had an issue with it

[@meseahunt]

dude u totally skipped all the sheath attachment points/features?? tight retention is a GOOD thing!! it IS an EDC for those of us who wear things like a plate carrier..... u might wanna skip your comments if ya don't really u/s things.....

[@timkourbo3196]

Great review. I don't however think this particular knife is designed for batoning. It's too short and too light for that task.

[@TheSonOfJohn117]

Great video! Carrying Benchmade North Fork.

[@renegadeprovisionsco]

Another great video Brandon!!

Carrying The Civivi Ortis, Victorinox Super tinker, Fisher Space Pen Bullet Pen, Rovyvon Aurora A5 Flashlight, On The wrist: Timex MK1 Chronograph! hope you see it and like it!

[@JoshsEDC]

I’m carrying the M4 Bailout, Olight Baton 3, and P365X today. I still really love this knife but I do want some Cruwear action soon!

[@Jojo-fh3ip]

So its a EDC knife?

[@francisrussellfrederickjr.4388]

how do i create my own site for you tube, so i could show everyone how to demonstrate the real value of these tools of servival

[@bobross5079]

Guy on ebay makes mean Scales for the handles on the 375's ,. they go for 75-85 bucks but well worth it . Made in the USA

[@deafsmith1006]

Any way to make a wood/polymer handle fit? I see with all those holes in the handle I would think some brass or stainless screws would fit and maybe make a nice decent grip for it.

[@donttreadonme1423]

Lots of after market scales for it :). Micarta in all kinds of colors is probably the way to go.

[@donttreadonme1423]

See "Scales From Tony"

[@alexunruh7255]

Looking for a rock solid bushcraft/backpacking knife, would this qualify/anyone else have recommendations? If I got this I'd prolly try to find some aftermarket scales to put on

[@joshuadaly9033]

[@rickydo888]

My edc today are, Ray Laconico Massdrop and Spyderco Techno 2

[@jyeprice9382]

Why they got rid of the serations is beyond me.

[@greekveteran2715]

The only reason, that a knife without a handle, could be called "survival" is if the user, would survive after a couple of minutes of use with it! Also, Becnhmade is a "folder" knife company, theit fixed blades aren't made with poor materials, however they are FAR way far, from being near the best fixed blade knives out there. Add on that, that Custom, handmade knives are always way better than any factory mass produced knife and you have, a really poor knife without even a handle. That Cruwear at 65hrc is not the best for "survival" you need the opposite for such a knife. something on thee soft side, easier to sharpen , tougher with better edge stability and so on.

[@123outdoorfun]

It is a beast

[@ronaldhitchcock4356]

Is it the most deadly camping survival knife?!

[@redriver6541]

Benchmade makes good stuff..... But the butterfly tax is ridiculous.... Seems to me they're about 50% overpriced. Especially with the knife market bwingtso full of bangers for great prices. Take the Cold Steel SRK.... Or a Mora.... They are amazing for a decent price.

[@Northwoods_edc]

U ever try a boos blade smoke

[@kgeter_phd]

I don't like how difficult it is to remove from the sheath. The amount of force you have to use seems dangerous and both hands are required. The torx screw does not adjust the retaining tension. You can break it out of the sheath with your thumb, but it is a bit painful to do. So, I made a leather "thumb ramp" with a 3/4" wide leather strap cut to 2" long, and two female line 24 snaps. Basically, a very short leather version of the strap that comes with the knife. Now it is much easier and more comfortable to break out of the sheath with my thumb.

[@jschoenzy9416]

Cool knife for sure but I don't think it's ideal for camping, survival or bushcraft. Doesn't stop me from wanting one.

[@toddstamos89]

Short answer. The Adamas is nowhere close to the best survival knife. It’s actually a very poor “primary” survival knife when so many other better options are available. Longer answer: The Adamas is one of the very best fixed blades that you can throw into your backpack as simply a lightweight back-up in a survival situation. As a primary, the Adamas is decent for hiking or family camping in a state park, but there are much better options out there, for cheaper prices. I’d argue the Lionsteel M4 and the Ka-Bar BK2 or BL7 are far superior, and for a much cheaper price. A Bark River or Fallkniven are also far better, but for premium prices. In a “zombie apocalypse,” this is definitely NOT the fixed blade I’d carry. It’s not even in the top 20.

[@johnnyeas1431]

I think benchmade thinks their name is worth more than the knife because there's no way that knife is worth $250. I'd pay $120 max for it, and that's me being generous. It's got way more cons than pros. No handle scales. It can rust. It's only 4 around inches. Sheath sucks. $250 for that is a rip-off.

[@paulrevere2928]

Survival knives dont usually have blood groves. Looks like a combat knife in my opinion
