Benchmade 375BK-1 Fixed Adamas Survival knife

The Benchmade 375BK-1 Fixed Adamas is a lightweight tactical knife, designed by Shane Sibert, made of hard ultra-hard CPM-CruWear steel.

The Benchmade 375BK-1 Fixed Adamas was created for uniformed services for whom reliability and durability are of key importance.

Features of the Benchmade 375BK-1 Fixed Adamas tactical knife:

• Robust Full Tang construction: Made from a single piece of steel for maximum durability and damage resistance. 4.3 mm thick blade and skeleton design to reduce the weight of the knife. The durability of the knife allows it to be used in demanding conditions by soldiers, survivalists and bushcraft enthusiasts.
• Ultra-hard CPM-CruWear steel blade: Made of modern CPM-CruWear tool steel hardened to 63–65 HRC, which ensures exceptional abrasion resistance and durability. The formula is enriched with vanadium, tungsten and molybdenum additives to increase blade durability. The cobalt-colored protective coating protects against corrosion and scratches and gives it a tactical look.
• Functional blade: Strong cutting edge and flat grind enable smooth cutting and easy penetration. The fuller increases the stiffness of the blade and reduces its weight, which improves ergonomics. The milling on the back of the blade provides a stable support for the finger during precise work.
• Practical handle: Skeletonized tang with cross-cut teeth for a better grip. Black paracord wrap for better comfort and better grip. Flat handle profile for easy carrying and comfortable use in various conditions.

Robust design of Benchmade Fixed Adamas knife

Benchmade 375BK-1 Fixed Adamas has a full-tang construction, which means that it is made of one piece of steel.

The blade is 4.3 mm thick at its widest point. The back of the spine is raised and has transverse cutters, allowing the finger to rest securely during work.

The blade has a strong cutting edge and flat grind, which guarantees smooth cutting and easy penetration. The knife has a cobalt protective coating that protects against corrosion and minor scratches and emphasizes the tactical character of the knife. The blade has a fuller, which increases its rigidity and reduces weight.

These parameters guarantee the functionality and durability of the knives and make them suitable for demanding tasks. Full-tang knives are famous for their durability and resistance to damage, which is why they are widely used by soldiers and enthusiasts of military, survival and bushcraft.

CPM-Cruwear - the latest super steel in the Adamas fixed knife

The blade is made of the latest tool steel from Crucible Industries LLC - CPM-Cruwear, hardened to a hardness of 63-65 HRC. Thanks to its excellent abrasion resistance and strength, CPM-Cruwear can be described as a steel with twice the performance of the original D2 steel.

The new formula is enriched with vanadium, tungsten and molybdenum additives, which give the steel exceptional wear resistance and allow for high hardening.

When choosing a knife made of such steel, it is worth getting a diamond sharpener, because sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very laborious and inefficient.

The Benchmade knife handle is designed for hard work.

The knife has a skeleton design, without the typical linings, which has allowed for an effective reduction in weight and ensures a flat profile. On the shank, which acts as a handle, transverse cutters have been made in critical areas to increase the knife's grip.

The shaft has a black paracord braid, which increases comfort and grip.

Polymer sheath

The knife is carried in a polymer sheath with an adjustment system for retention (knife withdrawal force) and an additional lock. The sheath is compatible with low-profile Malice clips, allowing the user to attach the knife to MOLLE equipment or wear it on a belt.
