    Thanks man, was gonna go with full size but now def the mini!
  • @hawleyfromhell
    This whole "these are for use around the water" thing has gotten out of hand already. Sounds like an Ad. Corrosion resistant steel, that's all. These are nice for sure but nothing different here than say the Deka or other magnacut/grivory knives. Congrats BM for finally getting on the MagnaCut train. If I see another video that says these knives are great when I'm boating or on the water!...
  • @TMYTUTN38
    Just received the mini today so far so good. It’s a keeper!
  • @arkansas_edc
    The Large Adira is on my need to acquire list. Hoping someone like Original Goat will be making scales for them, either way NEED!
  • @1977NOBODY
    I’m seriously thinking about getting one of these for my summer time edc…..I do a lot of outdoor stuff here in Cali,Mostly hiking and spending a lot time at different beaches👍🏻🙂Also have to make the choice of full size or mini.
  • @YPEDC
    I think that one of those would be a perfect summer knife for me. I live in an extremely humid state, and my second job is around water a lot. I think they’d be a great fit for my edc
  • @gershin9253
    Been thinking about getting this at blade show this year but am leaning towards spyderco salt. I can’t decide lol
  • @IRMNINJA
    Have you ever been to smoky mountain knife works?
  • @georgespicer907
    I got the Adira, and maybe the mini is different, but the grivory on Adira is solid. Not flexy or cheap feeling at all. I usually prefer G10 but here the grivory is better,
  • @Mike-mi3yw
    Spyderco salt series > benchmade whatever thing
  • @westondavis9626
    Honestly just go with Spyderco’s salt series. LC200N or MagnaCut for a better price on a better quality knife.
  • @Edgekeeper747
    Benchmade has gotten out of hand with their pricing. No thanks
  • @Huey4214
    Hogue Deka , Hogue Ritter RSK and Spyderco salt in M/C steel are all better knives IMO and less money to boot.
  • @NG_Ark
    Benchmade is like if Chick Fil A decided to start selling their sandwiches for $100 a piece. Good but nah, I’ll go to Chipotle.
  • @zabper57
    Bought the knife. Right out of the box there is side to side blade play. Tightening the screw fixes it but can open and close it that smooth like in the video after tightening enough to get rid of the play. Not worth the price.
