Understood, but they carry many knives with much lower prices as well -
Benchmade Mini Adamas Auto Carbon Fiber

The thing that made me want it the most, I love the idea of the Magnacut blade, Benchmade is one of the companies that heat treat Magnacut steel correctly. I have had S110V, M390, S90V, all of the super steels and Magnacut heat tempered correctly will have better Edge retention, strength and Corrosion resistance to any of them. Magnacut is supposed to be harder to corrode than Spyderco Salt blades, this and the Carbon Fiber made me pay the hefty price. I loved my full-size Adamas autos, but always wanted a Mini, I will be shocked if this will not become my favorite carry knife If any of you are familiar with Devin Rob Thomas Damascus steel, Devin is a friend I met several years ago at blade show, his son Dr. Larrin Thomas created Magnacut steel and is the one who told me Benchmade knows how to properly heat treat it. -

Benchmade auto knives worth the extra money?
willis68 replied to jeff43's topic in Knives, Lights, EDC Gear
So being a Protech dealer and Benchmade as well as others over the years: Protech has always had the Best firing, most torque automatics. Benchmade once I put a TR3 Spring on my AFO2 became my favorite knife. The Benchmade Adamas as mentioned before is a Tank. The Mini Auto Adamas I have coming I expect to be my all-time favorite knife. Benchmade knives in my opinion, are well worth their prices. Spyderco makes an amazing Auto Knife as well. When you are talking about OTF Automatics Gavin Hawk and his brother make the Deadlock which in my opinion is worth the money. I however have a hard time spending nearly 2k on a knife when there are still so many guns that I desire. -

Yeah, that was hard for me to swallow as well, but I love the carbon fiber and wanted it soo... -
I have been awaiting this knife since I first heard Benchmade was planning on releasing it. I just ordered it from Benchmade Knives: 2730-03 Mini Auto Adamas - AXIS Auto - Marbled Carbon Fiber - CPM-MagnaCut (knivesshipfree.com) In case you all are not aware, these fine folks are now located here in Tennessee. I will post pictures and give you all my thoughts when I get home.

I will be getting a small break, just a few days off of my offshore Project, So Saturday the 27th I should pick up my Python Combat elite. I have the Wilson Combat Gold front and rear sight and I have some special Walnut Altamont grips coming that I think should make it much more to my liking. I will update once I have her and shoot her and let you all know what I think. My 4.25 Anaconda I will pick up at the end of my offshore campaign.
-
I have Wilson Combat Rear adjustable sights, with a Gold Bead front waiting as well, I am doing the same on the 4.25 Anaconda, I feel the only thing they got wrong with the new revolvers are the sights.
-
I will have my new 4.25 Anaconda along with my Colt Python Combat Elite, when I get home from this trip. I can’t wait to have these added with my King Cobra Snub nose I absolutely love the new Colt Revolvers.
-
Do any of you own one? I will be getting mine when I get home from this trip. I know the new Colts are not liked by everyone but I am a huge fan of them
-
Mine has a pistol grip, I am getting a 1301 Beretta mod 2 with a pistol grip as well. The pistol grip for me anyway makes the shotguns easier to get a good stance when shooting

So, Oceaneva are the ones I test their watches, but my favorite Micro Brand American made watch company is Ocean Crawler. I bought the one pictured below Core Diver with the Orange band. I liked it so much that I traded the owner of Ocean Crawlers watches my Ball watch for 3 new watches of my choice. The First is a blue one Core Diver that I put a picture up of already with the leather band. The second is the full Lume Bolt model pictured below, ones shot of the watch before and one after lighted to show the Lume ( the high resolution picture shows it much better) I willl use my 3rd watch credit for something they come out with later. I absolutely love Ocean Crawler watches
