The Benchmade Mini Adira 18065BK-ABEL2 is far more than a premium folding knife—it’s a vibrant piece of outdoor-inspired art limited to just 250 pieces worldwide. Created in collaboration with Abel Reels and acclaimed artist Derek DeYoung, this special-edition Mini Adira captures the color, character, and craftsmanship of the fly-fishing world in a remarkably compact package.
The 3.21-inch drop-point blade is crafted from Damasteel and finished with a dramatic black DLC coating that showcases the exclusive Monarch pattern. Against that dark, sophisticated blade, the handle scales deliver an explosion of color. Machined and anodized aluminum scales are finished at Abel’s headquarters in Montrose, Colorado, then adorned with Derek DeYoung’s hand-painted Brown Trout Flank artwork. The vivid trout-inspired colors and detailed artwork transform this knife into something that’s as striking in a collection as it is capable in the field.
An aluminum backspacer and Abel-manufactured lanyard bead complement the artistic handle, while the AXIS Lock provides smooth, dependable operation. At 7.46 inches open and weighing just 3.09 ounces, the Mini Adira offers an impressive balance of portability and performance.
With only 250 examples produced, this is a true collector’s piece for anyone who appreciates exceptional knives, fine outdoor equipment, or one-of-a-kind artistic details. Even better, a portion of the proceeds from every knife benefits Project Healing Waters, supporting America’s veterans through the therapeutic art of fly fishing.
