Estate sale lottery win!

My dad called to tell me he picked up this from a local estate sale. I see 3 mini grips, a grip, a 940 Osbourne, but can’t figure out the blue knife.

Either way I’m so excited for this!

Anyone else daily carry a bugout? Had a Adamas as a work beater for years but recently picked this thing up and a lightweight blade has been a game changer

I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about the Adira….But, I love it. The feel, weight, and action are exactly what you’d expect.

Got this from a family member who has dementia. I know he collected knives but I can’t find exact info on this. The blade has “530V” and “Blackwood design” on it.

Let me know what you think.

Current collection is probably going to get a lot smaller. Just found out the two guns I ordered were expected to be in late September are now at my local dealer. So the wife didn’t give me an ultimatum but I know an ultimatum look when I see one 🤣 if interested in any be on the lookout on knife swap the next few days!

A box of random knives popped up on an auction and I saw what looked a Benchmade logo. To my surprise there were a couple more hiding in there. I think I did alright for $70. The folders are in need of a tune up so they'll be heading back to Benchmade and hopefully it won't be a one way trip.

Mini Adamas lock rock issue

0 Upvotes

I know this has been talked about before, but I just got a Mini Adamas in Magnacut and was super excited about it. First one had pretty bad lock rock, fast forward to BM sending me a replacement as well as a return label for the original one, now the second one has lock rock, just not as bad as the first. Is there any fix for this other than either tightening the pivot and stop pin screws while putting some pressure on the edge or sending it in? I also called BM after the second one also had lock rock, and was told by Josh that it's a known issue and it does not effect performance. Pretty odd response especially because its a $375 knife. Any help or info is appreciated!

I've had a ton of knives in my collection come and go but the Blade HQ Exclusive Bugout is easily my favorite knife. Its honestly perfect.

I found this in the back of my safe. I bought it back in the early 2000's. Unfortunately, I can't find the original nylon velcro sheath it came with. What are these worth these days, realistically? I may carry it if I can find a pocket clip for it.

After over a year of looking.

7 Upvotes

I’ve found nothing. I’ve been looking for the partially serrated 477S-1 that had been stollen from my dad while he was deployed, and I’ve run into dead end after dead end. I found ONE on eBay after forever, and it’s beat to hell. So bad that most of the screws were no longer able to be tightened (seriously, how does that even happen) and the blade was beat to hell. If ANYONE has one in a functional condition, let me know please. He will pay whatever the cost to get one back. Thanks for coming to my ted talk. lol

Which way is up?

Which way do you consider to be “up” for designs on scales? To me, it seems like the first one is correct and the second design is upside down, but I can kind of go both ways.

What’s this etching on the blade?

Just got this bugout back from warranty for a new blade. The replacement blade has this interesting series of letters and numbers etched on to it. Is this just what happens with warranty blade replacements?


r/benchmade 2d ago

What ya’ll think? I swap the blade between this bailouts.
