Benchmade - 275GY-1 Adamas Folding Knife
Benchmade - 275GY-1 Adamas Folding Knife
Benchmade 275GY-1 Adamas is a modernized version of the Adamas tactical knife, designed by respected knifemaker Shane Sibert. Model with Tungsten colored blade finish and black G10 facings.
Tactical folder made of ultra-hard CPM-Cruwear 63-65 HRC steel
Following the upgrade, the Benchmade 275GY-1 Adamas uses an ultra-hard CPM-CruWear steel head, G10 laminate facings and the proven axis lock. Thanks to this design, the knife is popular among soldiers, officers of uniformed services and users looking for a handy tool with a durable and reliable design.
For the construction of the blade, the latest tool steel was used Crucible Industries LLC - CPM-Cruwear hardened to a hardness as high as 63-65 HRC. With excellent wear resistance and strength, CPM-Cruwear can be described as a steel with twice the performance of the original D2 steel.
The new formula was enriched with vanadium, tungsten and molybdenum additives, which give the steel exceptional wear resistance and allow for high hardening.
When choosing a knife made of such steel, it is worth getting a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient.
The wide drop-point blade, 96 mm long, is coated with a bronze cerakote coating, which protects against minor scratches and emphasizes the tactical nature of the knife. The blade has a sturdy hilt and a flat grind, which guarantees smooth cutting and easy penetration. The head at its widest point is as much as 3.5 mm thick.
The back section of the ridge was raised and made on it transverse cutters, allowing for stable finger support while working. Such parameters guarantee the functionality and durability of the knife and make it suitable for demanding tasks.
Mechanisms and handle
The blade can be conveniently and quickly unfolded with one hand using the double-sided peg, which is convenient for both right and left-handed people.
Responsible for the safety of operation is the benchmade's flagship mechanism, a double-sided locking mechanism Axis-lock, valued for its tremendous mechanical strength, resistance to dirt, and ease of use for right- and left-handed users.
The Benchmade 275FE-2 Adamas has otungsten (steel gray) colored G10 plastic handles made with precise 3D technique. The glass-epoxy laminate used is characterized by light weight, high mechanical strength, resistance to water, temperature change, and the action of many acids and solvents. The contoured shape combined with the cross-milling and rough texture of the plastic provide excellent knife grip and comfort in use. Semi-open handle design makes it easy to keep the knife clean.
Discreetly carrying the knife in your pocket allows you to high-set clip with the possibility of mounting on both sides of the handle.
