Anyone have a comparison photo of the BM Mini Adamas next to a ZT 0350 they could share? Been thinking about picking one up when they are available. Also interested in hearing opinions of the BM. I've held the full size but that is way to big for my pockets.

I can't help with the photo, but I can tell you that my mini-A came perfectly centered, sharp all along the edge, and with fairly even bevels (not perfect, but fair). It's about 3/10 of an inch shorter than a full-sized Grip and about an ounce heavier. The handle thickness is pretty close on both knives. I have a full-sized Adamas too and the mini is enough smaller to make it a good pocket carry if you want it for an EDU.

I really like the mini-A. The handle is nicely radiused so that there aren't any sharp edges. It's good to hold and use and BM has done a nice job with the blade shape for a general purpose knife, at least for my uses. And I do love Cruwear.

Take a look at the Benchmade subforum here on BF.
I have the full size Adamas and a Grip. I wanted a mini, and raised the question of size there. The BM rep pretty much told me that
that Mini admas is more of a medium sized knife, rather than a "mini".
I ended up picking up a CF mini bugout instead.

The Mini is eminently pocketable. It handles like a small/medium knife. (I have one to sell, if you're interested; leave me a profile message if you like.)

I no longer own a ZT 0350 for a comparison shot, but the Mini is much easier on the pocket. It weighs less and isn't nearly as broad.

Edit: Best I can do on a comparison shot (NeOn NL, ZT 0640). :)
