TheBenchmade 275FE-2 Adamas is an upgraded version of the Adamas tactical knife, designed by respected knifemaker Shane Sibert. The model features a Flat Earth blade finish and G10 facings in olive drab color. The choice of professionals After the upgrade, the Benchmade 275FE-2 Adamas features an ultra-hard CPM-CruWear steel head, G10 laminate liners and the proven axis lock. This design makes the knife popular with soldiers, uniformed services officers and users looking for a handy tool with durable and reliable construction. CPM-Cruwear - new generation steel Crucible Industries LLC's latest tool steel - CPM-Cruwear, hardened to a hardness as high as 63-65 HRC, was used for the construction of the blade. With excellent wear 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, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient. Armored head The wide drop-point blade, 96 mm in length, is coated with a bronze cerakote coating, which protects against minor scratches and emphasizes the tactical nature of the knife. The blade has a sturdy hilt and a flat grind, which guarantees smooth cutting and easy penetration. The head at its widest point is as much as 3.5 mm thick. The back section of the ridge is raised and transverse cutters are made on it, allowing the finger to rest steadily while working. Such parameters guarantee the functionality and durability of the knife and make it suitable for demanding tasks.
