Benchmade Mini Adira Folding Knife

Description

The serrated variant of the quintessential waterman’s mini folder, the versatile 18065S Mini Adira’s serrations bite into line and rope easier than without-a task that’s particularly apparent when a rope’s tension increases when wet. Featuring the same 3.0″ drop-point blade made of CPM-MagnaCut stainless steel as the original, this newly serrated pocket-ready folder uses an Axis lock mechanism with stainless springs for corrosion resistance, plus high-vis colored details and a useful orange lanyard for easy access. On and off the water, the 18065S Mini Adira has got your back, hard-use or EDC.

Blade Style

Drop-Point: Drops off the spine to the tip. Tip height is typically below the center line on the blade

Blade Steel

CPM-Magnacut: A new approach to stainless tool steel that eliminates chromium carbides from the microstructure. The result: a combination of properties with similar toughness and edge retention to non-stainless steels like CPM-CruWear and CPM-4V, with the addition of excellent corrosion resistance and strength

Handle

Grivory: Glass-filled thermoplastic composite known for being extremely light and durable. Widely used for automotive, industrial and aerospace applications

Opening Action

Axis Lock: Manually opened knives must be opened 100% from the closed position to the open position by the user

Use

Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition.

Prevent Rust: All steels, regardless of grade or price, can eventually rust. To avoid corrosion, always keep your knife clean, dry and lightly lubricated. If rust or spotting appears, a quality semi-chrome metal polish can usually restore the finish

Hand-Wash Only: Always hand-wash your knife with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly

Use as Intended: Benchmade knife are precision cutting tools. Do not use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel or punch-unless specifically designed for those functions

Sharpen with Care: If sharpening at home, avoid grinding wheels and high-speed machinery, as they can damage the blade. Use appropriate hand-sharpening methods for best results

Tighten Hardware: Over time, handle, pivot and pocket clip screws may loosen. Use T6 and T10 Torx drivers for adjustments and apply a small amount of releasable thread-locker to maintain secure fittings
