Benchmade Adamas 275BKSN Sibert - Is it assisted?

I can't find if this is assisted or completely manual. I know this is not a full auto from what I can see.

If it isn't assisted, can someone direct me to a similar Benchmade that is? I currently have the Adamas 375 which is the larger fixed blade. I carry it on my belt when I leave the wire in Afghanistan. I love the feel of it, so I feel like I'd love the feel of the 275.

I guess if it isn't assisted, can anyone speak to the quickness of one-handed deployment compared to other assisted knives?

I believe they make a automatic and a regular manual!

The deployment of the 275 is good, real good. Like any other benchmade it flys out. But if you want a assist opener look into the barrage series or a subrosa. But you'll love the way the manual adamas opens.

It isn't assisted. As stated, it is either automatic or manual.
It's a really solid folder.
