Which Benchmade are you carrying today?

For sure. Though I will say the new Adira gives me “Turret 2.0” kinda vibes.

I actually pulled it out tonight because my elder son expressed that he wanted a new BM, and I don’t want him to spend today’s prices. Since I have a few to work with, I pulled out the Presidio 2, which I think is a great knife and comparable in a lot of ways (I think this is the third one I’ve had), and the Turret for consideration.

He’s getting the Presidio 2, and I’m keeping the Turret. Figured I might as well put it in the pocket since I was fumbling through the collection.

That's what dads are for 👊

Interesting that you bring up the new Adira. Do you have the mini or full size? I have the mini, and would say I wished It was a hint larger. But... then it wouldn't be mini anymore :) I am easily talked into a new BM. It's just money... :cool:

I don’t have either Adira, but it’s good lookin. I was just basing it on what I’ve seen in photos and heard people talk about here and elsewhere. Already having a Turret, I couldn’t justify getting one because they are so similar in shape/style, and, frankly I’ve always been fine with S30v, so the newer steel choice is not necessarily a must buy trigger for me. But you never know. I might pick one up later if I find a good enough deal.

With all that said, I personally much rather have G10 over liners than the subframed FRN. I’m not opposed to FRN (I’ve had it on plenty of knives, and actually preferred the CF Elite Presidio 2 over the original aluminum), but I do prefer the more solid feel of G10 and full liners.

He’s definitely NOT getting the one I carry at work everyday, which I’ve featured here many times before… but it’s been a while, so:

kinda matches my all the time work carry on my belt, tho i mostly use something smaller as i work in a school IMG_3452.jpeg
i never really took to push button autos, the axis auto mechanism is much more intuitive for me
 
SMKW restocked their FDE and OD Bugout exclusive and I had to grab one this time. It's one of the coolest Bugout variants, in my opinion.
