Thanks Brother! Yea I like variety big and small knives. My mini Adamas was really nice but always wanted the full size .Off the top, I like it quite a bit. For being such a big chunk of a knife, BM's done several things to lighten it up some--thinner blade stock, scale contouring, and removing additional interior liner stock around the 6 handle holes--shaving over an ounce from the original to get it to 6.5. I love the big-bellied M4 blade shape with fuller and the graphite-toned, media-blasted Cerrakoting. Mine still has its wicked sharp, typically toothy BM factory edge. The knife feels hugely solid and comfortable in hand, F&F is spot on with perfect centering, and the action is AXIS lock free and easy.
On the other hand, if you don't like big, heavy-duty knives, or are looking for something super-slicey, then this one isn't for you. (Aside--it is a surprisingly decent cutter and did a creditable job breaking down cardboard last week.). The only possible negative for me might be the price--new, these are going for $292 or so. I got a great deal on mine as the third owner at $170 off the Exchange in all-but-new condition, and one would have to decide whether it's worth parting with 3 bills for a full-sized Adamas..
I can only imagine whatKeyopp or
Knives&Lint could do with all these colors
