Benchmade 18065BT-01 Mini Adira Knife: Tempest Grey Grivory, Drop-Point

Our hard-use, aquatic EDC known as the “angler's favorite folder” just got a refresh. Meet the 18065BT-01 Mini Adira™, a stealthier variant of the original, built for tasks on deck and off. Donning an understated tempest gray Grivory® handle paired with a pop of sapphire blue PVD on the thumbstud, the 18065BT-01 Mini Adira™ sports a nimble 3.0” drop-point blade made of CPM-MagnaCut stainless steel, now with an updated Cerakote® blue titanium blade finish. The charcoal gray paracord lanyard with black nylon bead provides a surface for faster drawing out of your pocket. Built with the same corrosion resistant AXIS® lock mechanism with stainless steel springs as the original, the new 18065BT-01 Mini Adira™ might be the coolest looking tool on the boat.

• USE & CARE
  Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition:
  • All steels, regardless of grade or price, can eventually rust. To avoid corrosion, always keep your knife clean, dry, and lightly lubricated. If rust or spotting appears, a quality semi-chrome metal polish can usually restore the finish.
  • Always hand-wash your knife with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly.
  • Benchmade knives are precision cutting tools. Do not use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch—unless specifically designed for those functions.
  • If sharpening at home, avoid grinding wheels and high-speed machinery, as they can damage the blade. Use appropriate hand-sharpening methods for best results.
  • Over time, handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may loosen. Use T6 and T10 Torx drivers for adjustments and apply a small amount of releasable thread-locker to maintain secure fittings.
