Adamas LE
Guys,
Check out the Adamas LE on the rotating banner on www.benchmade.com, the 275BK-1301. Pretty awesome...
No worries about the paint wearing off that one, eh?

looks nice but not $225. nice. 0 -
That looks sweet! Why are all these awesome E and exclusive knives coming out when I have no money for one?? I may have to go in debt to get these! (ok, not really, but it was tempting for a second or two). 0 -
Too bad they didn't change the steel on it, I really like the 9051 in M390 though, of course its $350 plus shipping from Europe

Yeah, seems like M-4 would have been a natural choice for this LE, huh?
Actually, the different handle isn't enough to entice me to buy my second 275, but the handle scales and M-4 would have.0 -

+1 to that. Nice but almost double the price. And the standard Adams has G10 anyway, no cool multi color, but still G10. I would bite at $225 for upgraded steel, for CF scales or if Chuck Norris signed it.0 -
that would have been great in M4. this one I will pass on... 0 -
Now I like the looks of that bad boy. I already have a black one and a tan one so I can't justify the cost. But I do like that green. If that was an M4 blade in those scales...well, I'd be on that like a pack of terriers on a three-legged tom cat.

I'm willing to bet that with the work involved, by the time you buy an Adamas and a set of aftermarket scales that you would have somewhere close to that in it. 0 -
If I drop the tan one in an unfinished basement enough, those scales will have an interesting pattern too. 1/2 and 1/2, like a Harp and Guinness.

It looks nice, but I just can't see spending that kind of money for D2... if it was M4 I'd buy it in a heartbeat. 0 -
If we could just get one with a satin finish blade I could get interested in that. 0 -
The green & black looks ok there. Gimme that handle and an M4 blade for under $150 and I'd be on it like a skinny thong in a plumber's crack. 0 -
Price is too high for some green g10 added to the black. I'll pass. 0 -

Ever since it was disclosed that the handles where painted, they just dropped off my list and I don't see the value in this version either (IMO)....

I can't say for certain without having one, but judging from the pictures and the pattern in the black G10 on my 275bk, I'm pretty sure that the handles are not painted on this one.0 -

Your probably right Something, but I just don't feel like taking the risk if you know what I mean..0 -
I thought only the coyote brown was painted. Pretty sure the black was just plain ol black G10. 0 -

I thought the Black was tan G10 painted black.0 -
if the black is painted mine showes no wear. 0 -
Whenever I wonder if one of my G-10 handles is painted, I take the handle off and gouge the under side of it. That answers the question pretty fast. 0 -
Its a nice looking knife but, I would have liked to see something more appetizing for a LE. An Adamas decked out like the 2012 forum knife would be appetizing. 0 -
A satin M390 or DLC coated M4 blade with some carbon fiber scales would have been nice. 0 -
yeah th black is not painted g10. only the sand 0 -
Sorry my delivery was so bad. That was a joke from a previous thread. Discussion was about how the tan paint was coming off. Someone made the joke that the black was painted on tan G10 scales. 0 -
