Adamas - Ancient Greek for "Unconquerable," "Invincible," or "Indestructible"
The Benchmade Adamas 275FE-2 is a substantial expression of Shane Sibert’s design philosophy, combining a bold, highly functional silhouette with the precision engineering for which Benchmade is known. Developed as a modern, hard-wearing folding design, the full-size Adamas has become one of the more recognisable models in Benchmade’s range, distinguished by its generous proportions, sculpted olive-drab G-10 handle and distinctive Flat Earth finish. The 275FE-2 brings together that purposeful design with CPM-CruWear, giving this particular configuration a particularly appealing combination of premium tool steel and rugged, understated styling. It is a knife with genuine presence, yet the carefully considered handle geometry and deep-carry clip make the substantial design surprisingly manageable in everyday carry.
This example is in pristine, as new condition and is complete with original nylon pouch, box and papers.
"The Adamas is Benchmades answer to the Spyderco Military. With distinctive Sibert ergonomics and a 4" blade in CPM Cruwear, the Adamas is ready for anything. This knife runs on oversized washers and is absurdly smooth to deploy, it's really an excellent example of the breed." - Mr. Narwhal 
CPM-CruWear. Built for the Long Haul.
The 275FE-2 features a 3.82-inch drop-point blade in CPM-CruWear tool steel, finished in Flat Earth Cerakote and heat treated by Benchmade to approximately 63–65 HRC. CruWear is a high-performance tool steel prized for its combination of toughness, wear resistance and edge stability, making it an especially interesting choice for a large working blade. The blade opens via dual thumb studs and is secured by Benchmade’s AXIS Lock, while the olive-drab G-10 scales are mounted over skeletonised stainless-steel liners for a strong but weight-conscious construction. A reversible deep-carry pocket clip provides flexible tip-up carry, and the knife measures 8.93 inches overall with a 3.82-inch blade and weighs approximately 6.54 oz. Made in the USA, the 275FE-2 is a substantial and highly refined take on the modern Benchmade workhorse.
