CPM MagnaCut - the next generation steel in the Benchmade Mini Adamas folding knife
The folder has an 82mm-long head, made of cPM MagnaCut super steel manufactured using powder technology. The main difference between CPM MagnaCut steel and other stainless steels is the amount of chromium. The elimination of chromium carbides from the steel's composition has resulted in a fine microstructure, making CPM MagnaCut much easier to sharpen compared to steels with similar wear resistance.
CPM MagnaCut combines the strength of CPM-4V, the corrosion resistance of CPM-20CV, the retention of CPM-CruWear/ CPM-4V, and an impressive hardness of as much as 64 HRC, so that it is now regarded as one of the best steels in the world used in factory-made knives.Armored head in Benchmade knife
A wide wedge drop-point with a length of 82 mm, was coated with a grayish cerakote, which protects against minor scratches and emphasizes the tactical nature of the knife. The blade has a sturdy tip 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 transverse cutters were made on it, allowing the finger to rest steadily while working. Such parameters guarantee the functionality and durability of the knife and make it suitable for demanding tasks.
Convenient unfolding
The blade can be conveniently and quickly unfolded with one hand by means of a double-sided peg, which is convenient for both right and left-handed people.
In addition, to increase the effectiveness of the appearance, the pin and the surround of the main screw have been made in gold color.
Reliable locking in Mini Adamas
Benchmade's flagship mechanism, the double-sided axis-lock, valued for its tremendous mechanical strength, resistance to dirt, and ease of use for right- and left-handed users.
Massive handle in Benchmade folder
The Benchmade 273-03 Mini Adamas features lightweight and highly durable carbon fiber facings, which were attached to gold-colored steel liners, responsible for the rigidity and strength of the structure. The handle is characterized by an effective appearance because it is in shades of gray and black, which perfectly blend with the gold elements of the design.
One of the most important advantages of carbon fiber, besides its striking appearance, of course, is its minimal weight.
Interleaved clip
Discreetly carrying the Benchmade Mini Adamas knife in your pocket is made possible by a high-set clip with mounting options on both sides of the handle. Gold-colored clip, blends perfectly with the striking handle.

List of knife safety warnings based on requirements
Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety
(GPSR):
* Risk of injury: Use the knife carefully and always hold it by the handle. The blade is
very sharp and can cause serious cuts. Don't try to catch a falling
knife.
* Safe storage: the knife should be stored in a safe
place, out of reach of children and unauthorized persons. Use a blade guard if
is available.
* Use as intended: Do not use the knife for purposes for which it is not
intended, for example, for opening cans or loosening screws. This can lead to
knife damage or injury.
* Caution when cleaning: Use caution when cleaning the knife,
to avoid cuts. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents that can
damage the blade.
* Blade maintenance: Sharpen the blades regularly to keep them in good condition. Blunt
knives are more dangerous than sharp ones because they require more force, which
increases the risk of slipping.
* Transporting the knife: When transporting the knife, make sure the blade is secured,
for example, by using a vagina or sheath. This prevents accidental injuries.
* Keep your knife clean: Clean the knife regularly to remove any food debris
or other contaminants. This ensures safe and hygienic use.
* Do not modify the knife: Do not try to modify the knife or repair it yourself,
if you don't have the right skills. This can lead to damage to the knife
or injuries.
* Warning for children: knives are intended for adults only. Do not allow
children to use knives without supervision.
* Disposal: Dispose of used or damaged knives in a safe manner to
prevent accidental cuts.
This product is for adults only, who have knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can lead to serious injury. The blade of the knife is very sharp and can quickly cut through skin and tissues; so always be very careful when slicing and do not bring your hand close to the cutting edge. To avoid slipping of the knife, it is recommended to cut on a stable and non-slip surface and avoid excessive pressure, which can cause uncontrolled movement of the blade.
Be aware that leaving a knife on the edge of a table, countertop or in easy-to-reach places, especially for children, is a danger. The knife should always be properly secured after finishing work, preferably by putting it down on a stable surface or storing it in specially designed blocks, sheaths or on magnetic strips. Never use a knife for tasks for which it is not intended, such as opening cans or using it as a lever, as this risks both damage to the tool and dangerous accidents.
Blunt blades pose an increased risk of injury because they require more force and tend to slip off the material being cut. Therefore, care should be taken to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. It is also necessary to clean and dry the tool regularly to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. It is recommended to periodically inspect the condition of the handle and blade to detect any cracks, chipping or loosening. If damage is found, the knife should be immediately repaired or replaced with a new copy.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand, avoid talking on the phone or watching TV while slicing, and make sure your work area is well-lit. You are reminded that in some countries or regions there are laws restricting the possession and carrying of knives. Before buying or using a knife, it's a good idea to make sure that using it in your location is allowed under the current law.
Adherence to the above rules will enable safe and efficient use of the knife, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring the long life of the tool.
