I already had an older Benchmade Adamas with a D2 steel blade and a Cru-Wear Mini Adamas. I bought this because the Mini Adamas turned out to be too small for my use and taste, but I liked the handle design and especially the new Cru-Wear steel. The blade is tough as it is, won't crack or break right away if you have to twist something a little with a knife, or hit something hard with it, either accidentally or intentionally. Based on the Mini Adamas, this full-size has not yet needed to be sharpened, but the same steel and hardening is here). The handle fits in your hand just as well as I hoped, is much better than its unnecessarily angular predecessor. The Axis lock is damn good, easy to open and close and the keys stay out from under the knife when closed with one hand. And that's a rare cool-looking gimmick.
