[@georgewashington3012]

People hate on Benchmade pricing and heat treats, but you have to admit, this knife is beautiful.

[@danegavriloski6061]

They made this colours perfect. And BM knows how to make CF scales. Very very nice edc knife.

[@zachstuff]

They did really good on this one Dane! Thanks for checking it out!

[@kyleharmon2309]

I have the og d2 adamas and finally ordered this mini and I couldn't be more stoked. Should be here in 2 days. I love d2 steel and will love magnacut even more I'm sure

[@andrew5117]

Not really a Benchmade fan but I’m not gonna lie I want this one pretty bad. They did a really good job with this one.

[@grimreaper6042]

That is a beauty I love the scales this is a home run for thanks for sharing Zach

[@josephvincent4629]

Just got mine and love it it's the marble carbon fiber magnacut model

[@jeremynedrow7003]

The Adamas and the mini are great knives.I passed my Class A CDL test Friday and start work Monday for a new company. Wish me luck.

[@zachstuff]

You can do it! Congrats on passing the test, those are next level. Have fun with it!

[@jeremynedrow7003]

@@zachstuff thanks man I will.

[@stephenbarabas6286]

​@@jeremynedrow7003I drove a truck for 20 years ( the last 6 of that I owned my truck) 😂😂 I can assure you there is nothing "fun" about trucking. It's a job like everyone else. Good luck and be safe. The cars out there are crazy...

[@rolandocarballo5340]

Ordered this yesterday..My first adamas

[@zachstuff]

Great first choice!! Start with the best!

[@carlosprieto773]

Great video, I've been on the fence on my next knife and this settled it for me. Some places are starting to sell out but you can still find it for 340ish. Appreciate the content!

[@DrDrewdude]

That marbled CF is suweet!

[@zachstuff]

Looks so good!! Thanks Dr Drew!!

[@bubba92473]

Got love the look of that one Zach 👍 Thanks so much for sharing.

[@zachstuff]

No problem 👍

[@fullblastshitwave]

This is one of the best looking Benchmade knives!

[@zachstuff]

The combos are terrific! Appreciate you checking it out!

[@johngg25]

I’ve got the all black one, and it’s my EDC the last two years. LOVE IT.

[@zachstuff]

That’s great to hear John!!

[@kevykev8347]

I picked up my Mini on KnafSale complete with red Applied Weapons Tech scales. So sweet.

[@rustyshackleford5331]

I totally agree that this knife is just short of a gold class knife. Really appreciate the review, bro. Your review made me pull the trigger on this one. Can't wait till it gets here

[@ck158]

Really nice knife. I would have put the black blade and linner with black mini deep carry clip. That’s just me. Thanks for showing us I hadn’t seen the linner before. Thanks Zach 😊

[@giantfatberg]

I feel like the Narrows and this Mini Adamas should trade prices.

[@toddcarr.]

Nice new offering on the Adamas line. Like the look of it but these full size one is more my speed. Thanks for the look see and keep making sharp things fun and enjoyable

[@zachstuff]

Thanks for watching!

[@Seppiedog]

That mini Adamas with carbon fiber would look good with the coated blade to match the thumb studs. Still love the shot show limited with Burgundy scales, wish I had one of those. Thanks for sharing Zach, be safe.

[@zachstuff]

Good call! A subtle coating would pop! Keep your eyes open, I have seen those burgundy micarta ones pop up on Knaf Sale and such. Thanks!

[@Marco_Ye]

Congrats on the new addition Zach.

[@zachstuff]

Thanks, it is a solid fun one!!

[@chrisdavidson4227]

Just picked one up a month ago beautiful knife a tiny bit of blade I know tighten the pivot screw and still has a tiny bit of play but I like it so much gonna keep it

[@ItzSlushie]

i bought mine this weekend shows up tomorrow! im stoked. First Adamas ive owned and had to ball out.

[@zachstuff]

That's awesome!! Enjoy it!

[@ironman2326]

Looks great! I really like my limited edition with burgundy scales though.

[@Yeti21173]

Gosh I wish this existed with damasteel blade it would be gorgeous and would be a gold glass imo

[@davidlane6808]

The moment I saw this knife I had to have it, for some unknown reason. Got it in today, I was not disappointed. Just an awesome piece of steel. A big upgrade over the original mini, which I will still find plenty of use for.

[@zachstuff]

Right on David!! It is a great upgrade indeed! Enjoy!

[@Mr.Fluffy_11]

Very nice looking knife, i like the contrast of the black carbon fiber and the flat dark eath pbd coating . But yes i agree with you the hardware kind of stands out a little too much as if it was black it would mach the carbon or may be if the hardware was also flat dark earth. But again really nice piece .....

[@Fedharrison5634]

Very nice & good looking knife. Thanks for sharing Zach ✌️💜

[@zachstuff]

Appreciate you checking this fun beauty out Ed!! Have a great weekend!

[@Drewcooks24]

Got one of these today. The marbled carbon fiber looks amazing to me

[@zachstuff]

At every angle the carbon fiber does look good!

[@beeferbaron]

Mini Adamas is so cool my rich buddy the electrician has one and I play with all the time. Super cool

[@napsterninja]

I'm digging that configuration. Its getting harder to not pull the trigger for this one.😅

[@deanP.]

That one looks awesome. I have the shot show exclusive. It’s my favorite Benchmade knife.

[@zachstuff]

You know about the wonderfulness of the Mini Adamas!

[@BigRedEDC]

Oh dang!!! Love the look of that!!!

[@rosemason4687]

Just ordered mine today, cannot wait

[@zachstuff]

Groovy! It’s a nice one you should enjoy!

[@alimuh007]

Just received mine and I'm super happy with it and plan to edc in place of my emerson cqc 7 for now.

[@zachstuff]

Right on! Such a great knife/materials for the price!

[@jaycorscadden2486]

Love the scales. No holes would be better. Enjoy

[@DenyTheZeitgeist]

I mean, it really is a gold class. The only things they could have done are a milled clip and swapped the steel for Ti liners. This thing sits perfectly as it is though. Can’t wait to get one!

[@zachstuff]

Those would be two sweet updates to make this one next level!

[@TeeFetch]

random supportive comment

[@zachstuff]

Appreciation post!!

[@jesseespinosa9739]

Woo!

[@deadpoollee9497]

I want those liners and pocket clip for my od green mini. That would look so awesome.

[@zachstuff]

Oh definitely what a sweet build that would be!!

[@sadelcol]

I have the tan mini adamas, imma have to get this now.

[@marcuscompton3772]

Thats a great looking knife!! Looks better than the auto to me.

[@mobster2]

I got a tan and green one for $260 at REI last week. I love it. The handle fills the palm and blade has a nice round edge. Its a tad heavy to pocket carry compared to my 940. Overall its a solid knife, really pleased with it

[@zachstuff]

That’s great to hear! I enjoy the full sized feel of this mini! Like your style with the 940’s!

[@wolfram4394]

I love mine got the black mini one it was $290 for me I mostly wear jeans and belt and don’t even notice it there

[@thaknobodi]

The stonewashed blade looks good in the handle

[@zachstuff]

The overall combos work very well together!

[@byronkennedy7912]

Thanks for the share, Zach.

[@zachstuff]

Sure thing!

[@Hungrybird474]

The mini adamas is a really cool knife . Now with premium scales

[@zachstuff]

Some beauty and toughness!!

[@wardman7655]

mini adamas, freek, or barrage.... I want assisted so I think my mind is made up. It will be EDC, but I like some heft vs bugout. automatic is not an option for me. I have a northfork already, why I'm thinking something a bit different. Any other mini assisted I should look at?

[@mikejurnak4253]

When I seen you post it today on IG. I was thinking I haven't seen that one yet 🤯 man that is a beautiful knife it might even be worth the price

[@zachstuff]

I know I was getting caught up this week with all the drops and work load! Really happy with the pricing on this one in comparison!

[@mikejurnak4253]

​@@zachstuffZach I have a question about the Life sharp.. Can I just send in all (4 only 😂) of my knives for sharpening or do I need a work order for each?

[@zachstuff]

You should be able to include them on one form. @@mikejurnak4253

[@ryansmith2772]

I'm still waiting for this in the full size version. It's a grail for me.

[@zachstuff]

Yes! I agree we need the full sized version ASAP!

[@dwayneletterman3987]

I like that one ! Nice Zach!

[@zachstuff]

Thanks Dwayne for giving it a looksy!

[@marshalllaw123]

I agree black hardware would be a lot nicer on it, but it’s definitely nice!

[@Matt18272]

Just ordered mine today 😊

[@zachstuff]

Good choice! You will enjoy this one!

[@OtherThanIntendedPurpose]

very cool looking, but it is a bit small for my hands, and with the thumb stud it would be painful to use.

[@chaddixson8398]

Looks rad!

[@zachstuff]

Pretty Groovy Chad!

[@donc5220]

I had the red shotshow one and loved it bigtime but was offered a trade I couldnt pass up .. Mini Adamas Cuts was better then the beefiness would mke you think... Slices way better then you think.

[@zachstuff]

Oh trades are so hard to refuse some times! Yeah they definitely cut so much easier than you would think.

[@TWTourist]

I love the look of this knife. I have the limited edition and want this one for the Magnacut (1 of my favorite stainless steel blade). But even with my first responder discount it will have to wait. 😞

[@TWTourist]

Forgot to add that I just ordered the new 940BK-03. 😁

[@zachstuff]

Groovy! Such a nice EDC!!

[@dextermomarte77]

This knife is sick

[@cheshire2.047]

Thats crazy. Looks like a gold class. Just bought it off blade hq. I wonder once in hand it can replace my edc (mini crooked river)

[@zachstuff]

It is definitely Gold Class worthy! It should give the MCR a run for EDC champion!

[@joekasperek1086]

That's nice Zach, I can only wish

[@zachstuff]

Appreciate you Joe! Will keep running as many giveaways as I can!

[@arnoldalbert6622]

Awesome 👍🏽

[@JR-mg6fm]

If they took the mini adamas and added the triage series features, god damn that would be something to have for fire/rescue/ems/LEO/military/shit regular Guy or Gal

[@josephvincent4629]

Just ordered mine 😊

[@zachstuff]

Very nice!! 🤙🏼

[@rob10ring]

That is some sweet carbon fiber!

[@zachstuff]

I love it!

[@bamaninja929]

Beautiful knife Zach! 💯❤️‍🔥👊🏾🥷🏽

[@zachstuff]

Man it’s a nice one!! Thanks Bama!

[@tizben]

Really nice coated liners

[@zachstuff]

They look good on this combo!

[@1hapidada]

That’s awesome I need one

[@zachstuff]

This one is definitely list worthy!!

[@bigjim55able]

FINALLY! A Benchmade that I actually want.

[@zachstuff]

There yah go!! Found it!

[@slimtissue7358]

A mini my XL hands will love

[@zachstuff]

Yeah buddy!

[@rjpietraszewski7133]

Would you suggest the full sized Adamas or the Mini for a EDC knife that is going to be used for everything. I like the idea of a full sized for hunting/outdoor purposes but it seems a bit big for carrying around in a pocket often. I haven't handled the full size so I could be wrong about the pocket comment.

[@zachstuff]

To me the mini is a good sized EDC for everything. The full sized is going to be a big one for EDC and is definitely one you feel in your pocket! I go mini for my EDC.

[@BlindWillieJackson]

I like this. I want this.... but for the same price I could buy a Sig Sauer P365 pistol.

[@zachstuff]

So true!!

[@TWTourist]

But you will use this more than the P365. 🤞

[@JR-mg6fm]

How the blade lock up I know the previous ones had a bit of blade Rock fwd and back ,as if the axis lock bar did have enough surface area against the blade like other benchmades?????????????????

[@zachstuff]

Knife came just fine. No blade rock and all locks up solid.

[@WheatCitySole]

Ordered one today!

[@zachstuff]

Excellent! I am sure you will enjoy this one!

[@zaskarelite]

Looks so good,do they make a full size one in carbon

[@zachstuff]

No full size carbon fiber…..yet! That would be a great idea!

[@deadvikingtrolls]

Cruwear is my favorite steel but magnacut is nearly the same thing only much more stainless. This model is so bougie that I'm going to call this the best adamas.

[@zachstuff]

You get a lot packed into this one!! Thanks for checking it out and leaving your feedback!

[@toreycasey1214]

Big fan of the mini adamas had gcarta put on mine with no speed holes so much better!

[@zachstuff]

Very nice custom scales Torey!

[@thomasmcdonald4425]

Love the carbon fiber 👍

[@zachstuff]

The best!

[@yourAVGconsumer]

i wish this would come partially serrated. Besides that gorgeous knife

[@zachstuff]

The serrations are a nice upgrade to this work horse of a knife!

[@zachstuff]

Hopefully they add the options for them in the future!

[@ck158]

Can you take the scales off the Maroon one and put the carbon fiber scales on it??

[@zachstuff]

yeah the swap should be straight across!

[@bronzeback29]

Waiting for mine to arrive, I might change the pocket clip to a mini though.

[@zachstuff]

Nice! Yeah my clip swap is working better!

[@bronzeback29]

​@zachstuff what did you change it to?

[@zachstuff]

@@bronzeback29 started with the mini deep carry clip. Might change to a standard deep carry. But the mini still going strong.

[@ATherapeuticEdge]

Duuuuude.. That is gorgeous ❤

[@zachstuff]

It really is! Seriously could pass for a limited or gold class!

[@LesterE03]

I wish they would do this for the Full Size Adamas I'd Buy It

[@zachstuff]

💯

[@nickuschrist5967]

Does it have the up and down blade play like the cruwear mini's please tell me they fixed it

[@zachstuff]

No play at all on this one!

[@bronzeback29]

Mine is also solid

[@cordobadebear]

This version has the vertical play and doesn’t engage the ramp fully…possible to fail lock, but you’re not going to use it very much probably, so it’s not an issue

[@zachstuff]

No vertical play on this one. Been working fine for all my tasks.

[@kbk011]

What is heat treat on their magnacut?

[@zachstuff]

They posted it as 60-62 HRC

[@diverson63]

I have the OD and FDE Cru-wear Mini, Full size ans Auto Adamas. I don't think I'm going for the new ones.

[@zachstuff]

You have a great line up already!! Appreciate you checking this fancy one out!

[@PocketRazors]

That’s a sexy beast of a knife, well done Benchmade 👏👏👏

[@zachstuff]

A beast indeed!!

[@chrisdavidson4227]

Is it spring assisted?

No. They just released an automatic version too.

I want it but is pretty much sold out everywhere.

[@zachstuff]

In stock at Knife Works currently. Also they offer a 5% off to new customers when you first visit their website. Good luck!

[@hectorrivera6624]

Thanks, as I was typing my last message, I received an email from DLT. Made the purchase. Also got a BM Proper in carbon fiber.@@zachstuff

[@MidnightHozz]

I did not want to buy another Benchmade this year after the bank breaking Narrows and the CF/Magnacut Tagged Out but damn this looks nice.

[@zachstuff]

I can understand, but I have to say.....this one is very worth making the list!

Love the look but a little to Rich for my blood! #dskfs

Where? Magnacut?

[@stonefox9124]

Once u reach a price point, its no longer a EDC... imagine carrying $300+ every day just because...

If you carry it everyday, then it is edc. Price dont dictate what you carry EVERY day.
