New Benchmade knife
I've been collecting Benchmades for 20+ years and the prices have gotten out of hand. But...they made one in magnacut steel! The newest super steel is hard but not brittle, holds an edge well but is not hard to sharpen, resists rust,etc. etc. etc. And it wasn't too expensive. It's called the Adira and I got one.

Wow awesome looking knife and grip color. I know Benchmades are top shelf as I have read so many posts on Blade Forum. Looks like a great EDC and a decent size blade too! Should get many years of enjoyment and use from this quality blade.

Nope, not even assisted. I quit buying either of those after one opened in my back pocket. Thankfully it only cost me a pair of jeans!

Very appealing. The blade shape reminds me of some SYKCO and Swamp Rat fixed blades. I’m not buying modern folders right now. If I were, I’d dig deeper.

Great looking knife but for a tinkerer like me a well featured Swiss Army knife works best.

Gotta be one of the nicest Bucks I have seen so far! Great blade for a change and the blue handle really adds to overall looks of the knife. Better to have a couple knives of real quality over cheap junk.

Have several Benchmade knives.
Love the axis lock. Extremely strong and easy one hand open/close.
Customer service is great too.
