The Benchmade Adira immediately caught my attention with its robust design and practical features, making it a valuable addition to my carry, especially when working in wet environments.

Story

Hearing that Benchmade had a new water series coming out was intriguing. I had owned a few of the H1 Spyderco Salts, and they were interesting. They could be used for daily tasks without worrying about corrosion, but where they really shined was in wet environments. It was only a matter of time before someone in the cutlery industry decided to do their own take on things. With the Spyderco Salts, they used a blade steel that was nitrogen-based. Nitrogen, like carbon, is a small atom and has a similar ability to influence changes to iron's ferrite structure. Unlike carbon, however, it does not increase the steel's vulnerability to corrosion. With the water series, Benchmade has decided to use the new Magnacut steel. This new steel has a host of features that make it great for being around water. Let's take a look and see how the Adira stacks up to wet environments and EDC tasks.

The Benchmade Bailout is an exceptional knife, prized for its ultralight design and impressive functionality. Built with high-performance materials, it’s tailored for both tactical and everyday use, ensuring durability and reliability.

Benchmade has several knives that are iconic, like the Griptilian, and the 940. Back in 2017 Benchmade released a new knife that would soon become iconic, the Bugout. The Bugout was what people were looking for: utilitarian, ergonomic, lightweight, axis lock, and was made with quality materials. Since then the Bugout has become one of the best selling knives in history. The Bugout comes in two sizes and a ton of colors. Plus there's a large amount of aftermarket mods you can do to truly make it your own.

Benchmade founder Les DeAsis has passed away on february 21st following a stroke suffered a week before.

Benchmade is the subject of the latest online protest, and they can thank the local police for for it.

Oregon City Police tweeted a photo a couple of days ago attempting to promote Benchmade Knives as a good corporate citizen by helping the police destroy some firearms.

Anyone who reads my reviews or ramblings on the forums knows that I have a fascination with rescue oriented tools. With all the traveling and security work I do, and have done over the years, I have witnessed more accidents than tactical knife-y situations, and I like tools that are oriented to helping victims rather than slaughtering ninjas.
