I had this knife for a short time but sold it. It's excellent fit, finish, design and action. It's thick and seems to be well built. I thought it could replace a fixed blade for camping/outdoors. However, there are a few YouTube reviews showing the knife failing/breaking when under hard use. I mean, breaking with activities that my $15 mora can handle. Just can't justify the high cost if it can't do more than an average pocket knife can do.
It's a tuff folder but still a folder.

What's the use case for this were it's significantly better than a CRKT or even a Swiss Army or cheap no-name Chinese knife?
Showing off to those that know how much it cost.

I'm looking to get a new outdoors knife, but at $172 is a bit too high for me.
Anyone be kind to recommend a good knife for sub $100?

Honestly if you want a mini hard use folder it's hard to beat a cold steel AD-10. They are a little over your budget at 127.19 on Amazon but use s35vn steel. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07MZW5...AQ091ZXT0K
If you are ok with a full size 4" blade but still want a folder the AD-10s bigger cheaper brother the 4max scout is it and it's like 71.74 right now (crazy deal).

IMHO a camp knife should most of the time be a fixed blade. I am a fan of ESEE so an esee 4, JG3 or pr4 would be my recommendation. All come in around 100 if you shop around internet.

This is more for knife aficionados than real use. Like audiophile equipment, most wont know the difference. For edc i just use kershaws and they are amazing for years for like $30. I also got out of it but kept a few cool stuff like benchmades and spyderco rock salt.

This is a good deal if you're a member, if you're not check out knifeworks.com with code BR549 for 15% off.

The code above was previously 22% off and tax free outside of LA. I bought the mini adamas for 165.75 total

About this knife, it's not that bad to carry, it's comparable to a full size griptillan. I have the full size knife and it was not too bad to carry and not that heavy. Since I upgraded my iphone from an 11 to 13 pro max I've switched back to the mini adamas. The full size adamas would work but on occasion it would rub on my phone.

The quality: both of my Adamases have very wide angles on the edge so good for hard use. Both of mine have a sharper angle starting from the tip and widens a little towards the handle. It's not a bad thing really depending on how you foresee it will be used.

Pricey knives to hard use ratio: in the past I would abstain from using my knives hard because I didn't know how to sharpen. But now that I found a sharpening kit that works for me. I'm more inclined to use it.

I know what you mean and i have seen much higher price but it is the steel, color combination aka Avocado. I used to be into it but I'm too poor to continue
check out Ryu Lim bladesmith, Brion Baker Blades, winkler knives can learn a lot about steel and edge retention

I'm a REI member; the benchmade promotion $20 digital bonus card will be added later; must be used between 11/28-12/2.

FIY: from their web site:
"$20 Digital Member Bonus Card is valid 11/28/2021 12:01am – 12/8/2021 11:59pm Pacific Time"
Did you or anyone else get their Digital Member Bonus Card? Confused

Nor did I.

I figured we were never going to get them because it clearly said "full-price Benchmade products..." and we all used a coupon.
