Benchmade 375 Adamas Fixed Dark Earth
I've wanted to own a Benchmade knife for a while. I was drawn to this one. It looks great and had some very good write-ups. Love the knife itself. Not as impressed with the polymer sheath though, unfortunately. The knife was very sharp out of the box. Lovely cut and shaped blade, ideal for hard work. Nice aggressive jimping dotted around the whole handle. Good grip with or without the included paracord(nice touch, works well). I reckon it's good enough to be able to be used for a wide range of tasks, from tactical and survival to bushcraft and general outdoor use. It's super light and easy to carry. A good number of options for carry, together with the sheath and malice clips for molle/belt/pack etc. I sort of half like the sheath I suppose. My gripe is the clip lock strap. It doesn't really perform its function in my opinion, and although the knife clips in and sits in well there is also a rattle. Which is unnerving. So any stealth or quiet approach is pretty much out of the question and it's annoying. This is a real shame because I was so pleased to get the knife. I am just a little disappointed that for the price and the quality name that something like this could have been addressed when being developed? Overall though I'm chuffed I finally got my Benchmade and I do still really like it. Heinnie Hayes, excellent as always! A very happy customer.
