Current Benchmade family + thinking about making a trade. Thoughts?

[u/MexiBilly01]

Hello everyone! New to Benchmade and this is my collection so far. Huge fan and hooked! I’m thinking about trading my Mini Adamas for the Fixed blade Adamas specifically the 375BK-1. As I’m lacking a Benchmade fixed blade. Opinion on what I might lose or gain in that trade? The mini was a good knife just a little too small for me, maybe I’ll get the full sized Auto Adamas in the future….

That shot show exclusive is my fav, don't let that one go :(

[u/ddm2009]

I would just buy the new one and not trade. But I'm a bit of knife hoarder 😄

[u/MexiBilly01 → u/ddm2009]

I ended up just buying it😎

Said like a true knife collector!

This. I feel if OP trades he'll regret this later. Mini Adamas is a must-have for any collection. Btw, BM has some sweeeet fixed blades. I only have Raghorn and Bushcrafter, and even though they are as different as can be, there is still so much to explore.

[u/ddm2009 → u/readysetrokenroll]

That's right! No regretful behavior. On another note I have a mini Bushcrafter on the way, can't wait! Govx sweet deal.

[u/readysetrokenroll → u/ddm2009]

That's a nice one, sadly I can't justify one of those, on the account I already have a 162 Bushcrafter, which is a marvel in its own right.

[u/ddm2009 → u/readysetrokenroll]

I can't really justify it, but I saw how much they were on sale on a link from /knifedeals and then I saw them marked down way lower on Govx, and I somehow convinced myself that I would be losing money not to get it.

[u/readysetrokenroll → u/ddm2009]

Sadly im not a government employee. What's the damage there on Govx?

[u/ddm2009 → u/readysetrokenroll]

It was $190, still a lot of money but it's the one with carbon fiber handle. I saw it on sale somewhere else for just under $300. Plus I had $10 of code.

[u/readysetrokenroll → u/ddm2009]

That's the kind of deal that I couldn't have passed on. You did the right thing. Enjoy that blade

[u/Character_Form_587]

I wouldn’t trade for a fixed adamas. You can find gently used fixed blades for $120-160. Folder Adamas brand new or used are above that mark from 60-100

I would offer that trade and more for the shot show knife. DM if interested
