The Benchmade Auto Adamas is a hard-use out-the-side automatic knife engineered for users who depend on fast deployment, rock-solid strength, and consistent performance in demanding conditions. Built with premium materials and Benchmade’s proven design philosophy, it delivers serious capability in a compact, duty-ready platform made for real-world use.
At its core is a 3.8" CPM-MagnaCut stainless tool steel drop point blade finished in Flat Dark Earth Cerakote. This elite steel is known for its exceptional balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, making it a standout choice for heavy-use environments. The FDE Cerakote coating adds durability while reducing glare and reinforcing the knife’s rugged, mission-focused appearance. A partially serrated edge increases versatility, excelling at cutting rope, webbing, cord, and other fibrous materials while still retaining a plain edge section for controlled slicing and precision work. The drop point profile further enhances utility with reliable performance across piercing and general cutting tasks.
As an out-the-side automatic, the Auto Adamas offers fast, decisive blade deployment paired with Benchmade’s AXIS lock system. This combination provides smooth activation, secure lockup, and dependable strength, giving the user confidence in both speed and control when it matters most.
The handle is built with textured green G-10 scales over skeletonized stainless steel liners, balancing durability with weight reduction for a strong yet manageable feel. The aggressive texturing enhances grip security in wet, dry, or gloved conditions, while the internal liner structure reinforces long-term structural integrity. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip provides flexible carry options and ensures the knife stays ready for immediate access.
Measuring 5.11" closed and weighing 6.17 ounces, the Auto Adamas delivers substantial performance in a compact automatic format designed for hard use. Every detail reflects Benchmade’s commitment to precision manufacturing and dependable field performance. Proudly made in the USA, it’s a tool built to perform without compromise.
