That is one very good looking knife. I have both a 580S and a 585 and you're was so unique looking that I did not recognize it.

I got mine a few days ago... And so far, it is my favorite knife in my humble collection, aside from the special ones. It's a heavy knife for sure, but in a good way. It fills the hand nicely, and the blade is nice and thick. The gimping is functional, and the handle scales feel very durable. The lockup is very solid (zero blade play), and in the few days I've used it, it's gotten very smooth. Smooth enough to make opening and closing a breeze with the Axis lock flick trick thing. The blade came as sharp as any production knife could come, and being D2, it should stay sharp longer than a lot of other blades (in theory, I've yet to have a knife with D2 steel until now). Overall, it's well worth the money. Hell, I'd probably pay more than I did for it if I had to.

I see a very long service life out of this one.

I think Benchmade definitley hit a grand slam with the Adamas. I have two of them, and like you would have paid more than I did had that been the selling price! They are that good.
 
Update: i received it 4 days ago, this knife is awesome.

I haven't had many Benchmades, but they've been my favorites for a while. The Adamas has become "the" favorite, though.
 
First task for the peanut this morning was to open the package containing my newly acquired 6232 jack knife (thank you KeyeEl!).

It sure is. That knife reminds me of one of my first knife buys SO many years ago. It was a beautiful little Case 6332 with the same darkish black handles except where you see red on this one mine had blue coloring. It was absolutely gorgeous and survived my youthful carelessness a couple weeks before disappearing. :)

Thanks for posting it Doug.

Now to play the waiting game :-(
 
Thanks P. and Will. It is a bit larger than I usually go for, but I have wanted a Case jack knife and this one fits the bill perfectly. Its larger size feels quite good in the hand, the bone is beautiful (especially the mark side, pile side is much darker), and I love the jack knife setup, with both blades pivoting on the same end. I guess I need to take another Case family picture to include this newest addition.
