Auto Adamas® OD Green G10 | Drop-point | Serrated

The Auto Adamas® is designed for military personnel, law enforcement professionals, first responders, and users who need a hard-use automatic tactical knife for demanding environments. Its robust construction, automatic deployment, secure grip, and MagnaCut® blade make it well suited for duty, field work, and other heavy-duty cutting tasks where quick, one-handed access can be valuable.

The Auto Adamas® is designed for demanding military and tactical environments where speed, control, and dependable performance matter. Its full-length stainless steel liners provide structural strength, the AXIS® Lock Auto mechanism delivers instant, one-hand deployment with an included safety, and MagnaCut® stainless steel adds a combination of toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance suited for changing field conditions.

Full-length liners run the entire length of the handle beneath the G10 scales, adding rigidity and strength that a scales-only construction can't match. On the Auto Adamas®, this means the knife holds up to more torque, impact, and repeated hard use without flexing or loosening over time.

MagnaCut® combines strong edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance in a single steel, running at 60-62 HRC. For a tactical knife, that balance matters because the blade needs to hold up to hard use and exposure to the elements without chipping, corroding, or dulling quickly, all without requiring constant maintenance in the field.

Auto AXIS® builds on Benchmade’s standard AXIS® Lock by adding a spring-loaded system. Instead of opening the blade manually, you engage the AXIS® mechanism by pulling back on the bar, and the blade opens instantly. The lockup itself works the same way, ambidextrous and secure, but deployment is immediate. That is a practical advantage in situations where speed matters more than a controlled, manual motion.

The Auto Adamas® includes a manual safety mechanism built into the back of the handle that locks the blade in both the open and closed positions. In the closed position, it prevents accidental deployment during carry or handling, which matters most on an automatic knife where the fast-opening mechanism makes it easier to open unintentionally. In the open position, it helps prevent accidental closure during hard use.

The Auto Adamas® measures 8.9" open with a 3.8" blade and weighs 6.17 oz, compared to the Mini's 7.62" open length, 3.25" blade, and 4.77 oz. If you want more blade length and grip real estate, the full-size is the better fit; if a lighter, more compact build matters more, the Mini Auto Adamas® delivers the same MagnaCut® steel and Auto AXIS® performance in a smaller package.

The OD Green G10 colorway offers a subdued, military-inspired appearance that blends naturally with woodland, vegetation, and other green outdoor environments. Its muted tone complements tactical field gear, making it particularly appealing for military personnel and outdoor users operating in these settings.

The partially serrated edge combines a plain section near the tip for controlled, precise cuts with serrations closer to the handle for tearing through tougher materials like rope, webbing, or seatbelts. That combination makes the blade more versatile in situations where you might need both clean cuts and aggressive cutting power without switching tools.
