The Benchmade Auto Adamas is a purpose-driven out-the-side automatic knife built for users who expect uncompromising strength, fast deployment, and long-term reliability in demanding environments. Engineered with premium materials and Benchmade’s trusted construction standards, it delivers serious performance in a compact, hard-use platform designed for real-world duty, fieldwork, and everyday carry.
At its core is a 3.8" CPM-MagnaCut stainless tool steel drop point blade with a satin finish. MagnaCut is widely recognized for its exceptional balance of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, making it one of the most advanced blade steels available for heavy-use applications. The satin finish highlights the clean lines of the blade while offering a refined, classic look that contrasts the knife’s rugged performance focus. The plain edge drop point profile provides excellent control and versatility, handling slicing, piercing, and precision cutting tasks with consistent efficiency.
As an out-the-side automatic, the Auto Adamas delivers rapid, reliable blade deployment paired with Benchmade’s AXIS lock system. This proven mechanism offers smooth activation, secure lockup, and dependable strength under pressure, giving users confident control during fast-paced or demanding use.
The handle features marbled carbon fiber scales over skeletonized stainless steel liners, creating a strong yet weight-conscious construction. The aggressive texturing ensures a secure grip in a wide range of conditions, including wet, dry, or gloved hands, while the internal liner structure reinforces durability for hard-use performance. An ambidextrous stainless steel pocket clip provides versatile carry options and keeps the knife positioned for quick, reliable access.
Measuring 5.11" closed and weighing 6.17 ounces, the Auto Adamas offers substantial capability in a compact automatic platform built for serious work. Every detail reflects Benchmade’s commitment to precision engineering and dependable American manufacturing. Proudly made in the USA, it stands as a high-performance tool designed to deliver when it matters most.
