Benchmade - 375BK-1 Fixed Adamas knife

Benchmade 375BK-1 Fixed Adamas is a lightweight tactical knife, designed by Shane Sibert, made of tough ultra-hard CPM-CruWear steel, created for uniformed services, for which reliability and durability play a key role.

• Benchmade 375BK-1 Fixed Adamas has a full-tang design (solid mandrel), which means it is made from a single piece of steel.The head at its widest point is as much as 4.3 mm thick. The back section of the ridge has been raised and transverse cutters have been made on it, allowing the finger to rest steadily while working.
• The blade has a sturdy tip and a flat grind, which guarantees smooth cutting and easy penetration. The knife is coated with a cobalt protective coating, which protects against corrosion, minor scratches and emphasizes the tactical nature of the knife. On the head is used armor, which increases its rigidity and reduces weight.

Such parameters guarantee the functionality and durability of the knife and make it suitable for demanding tasks. Full-tang knives are famous for their strength and resistance to damage, which is why they are commonly used by soldiers, military, survival and bushcraft enthusiasts.

CPM-Cruwear - the latest super steel

• Crucible Industries LLC's latest tool steel, CPM-Cruwear, hardened to a hardness as high as 63-65 HRC, was used for the construction of the blade. 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 is enriched with vanadium, tungsten and molybdenum additives, which give the steel exceptional wear resistance and allow for high hardening rates.

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.

Handle

• The knife has a skeletonized construction, devoid of typical cladding to effectively reduce weight and provide a flat profile. On the mandrel, which serves as a handle, transverse milling has been made in critical places to increase the grip of the knife.
• A braided black paracord was made on the shank, which increases the comfort of use and increases the grip of the knife on the hand.

Polymer sheath

• To carry the knife there is a polymer sheath with retention adjustment system (knife draw force) and additional locking device. The sheath is compatible with Malice low-profile clips, which allows the user to trounce the knife to the MOLLE system equipment or wear it on the belt.
