Benchmade Adira 18060SBT-01 Folding Water Knife, CPM-MagnaCut Serrated Drop

The Benchmade Adira (18060SBT-01) is a purpose-built folding water knife designed for demanding use in wet environments. The 3.88″ drop-point blade is fully serrated and made from CPM-MagnaCut stainless steel, a high-performance alloy known for its corrosion resistance and edge retention — well-suited for saltwater, freshwater, and general outdoor use. This configuration features a Tempest Gray Grivory handle with a Cerakote Blue Titanium finish, combining durability with resistance to the elements.

The Adira handles practical waterside tasks including cutting fishing line, bait prep, and scaling small fish, but its build quality makes it equally capable as an everyday carry for camping and outdoor work. At 4.23 ounces and 5.12 inches closed, it carries efficiently with the included pocket clip. The ambidextrous AXIS locking mechanism provides a secure lockup and allows for smooth, controlled one-handed opening and closing.

Benchmade backs the Adira with their LifeSharp service program, which covers free factory re-sharpening for the life of the knife, along with cleaning, oiling, and adjustments — a practical consideration for a blade that will see regular hard use.
