From the new Benchmade Water Collection: The Adira!

I saw this knife in Benchmade's new Water Collection I knew I needed to get one. That color combo is great, the shape is great, and I just sorta needed it. I don't hang out on the water much, but humidity in the summer can be high enough that I don't carry just any knife in my pocket, and this CPM-Magnacut steel will be just fine. I've carried this knife a few times, now, and it's really great. Big in the hand, but small in the pocket.
**I found a tear-down pic of this knife on the Benchmade site, and it's running on washers, not bearings, so that's good. No one wants to clean sputz out of some bearings. **
I bought mine from Dromgoole's in Houston. Contact them for info about the knives they carry.

[@blythetretick7081]

Yes, more knife reviews!

[@inkdependence]

Heh, tell a friend to come watch this one!

[@JessicaCEP]

I love Benchmade knives. Absolutely my favorite! I got the bailout when you posted it. My first benchmade was the switchback…

[@migueloxamendi4284]

Nice looking knife, sure, but how well does it perform at ink swatching?!

[@inkdependence]

It's pretty wide, so I haven't tried it for that yet. 😅😅

[@PalehorseThirteen]

Definitely pro more knife reviews.
Actually, it was a knife reviewer that really got me into fountain pens! I don't know if you're familiar with Nick Shabazz, but he's a pocket knife reviewer that every once in a blue moon ends up reviewing a fountain pen. And it was his review of the TWSBI Eco that made me go "Hey! These things actually seem pretty cool!" and I bought one shortly after.

[@inkdependence]

Yep! I'm familiar with him. I was on the podcast that he and Tony S used to do (but Nick wasn't there that day, sadly). He does great stuff. :-D "Heeeey everybodyyyyyy!" Classic.

Still loving my Spyderco Pingo at work.

[@ilikepens]

That’s a big honkin knife…do I need one too? Maaaaaaayyyybeeeee!

[@inkdependence]

There is a smaller one, and I bet it's great, too!

[@ruthfeiertag]

Good point about the humidity and knives.
Now that’s a knife, Crocodile Dundee.
The one-handed maneuvers are neat and I like the rhythm you had going. Some people play the spoons; you could start a knife band.
I hope we see this on a Second Takes. I like the knife review.

[@inkdependence]

Thanks! I think it'll show up in a 2nd takes at some point.

[@raventhelight9357]

Great video mike! But dang it now I gotta save some money to buy this

[@inkdependence]

I don't think these are limited or anything, but it is pretty rad.

[@erictalkington5674]

Most knives on Benchmade website if you select the knife and scroll the pics to the right it'll show you the knife completely taken apart. That one may not, but almost every knife does. I am pretty sure it's washers but can't say for sure.

[@inkdependence]

Sure enough! They look like copper or bronze washers in the pic.
