Benchmade Mini Adamas 273-03 Manual Folder, 3.25″ MagnaCut Blade, Marbled Carbon Fiber, Made in USA

A Hard-Use Classic Refined with Premium Materials

The Benchmade Mini Adamas is built for users who want uncompromising strength in a more compact, everyday-carry friendly size. The 273-03 elevates that mission with premium materials while keeping the Adamas platform’s no-nonsense, overbuilt DNA fully intact.

This configuration pairs a CPM MagnaCut blade with marbled carbon fiber scales, delivering exceptional toughness, corrosion resistance, and a noticeably lighter carry compared to earlier versions. It’s a modern evolution of one of Benchmade’s most trusted hard-use folders.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply

The Mini Adamas has always been about confidence. This version keeps that bombproof feel but trims weight and adds a more refined look with carbon fiber and MagnaCut. It’s still absolutely a work knife, just one that feels more at home in a pocket every day.

And just as important, this knife is made in the USA, and supporting knives like this helps keep skilled manufacturing and innovation here at home.

What Makes the 273-03 Stand Out

• 3.25″ CPM MagnaCut Blade, excellent edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance
• Drop Point Blade Shape, versatile and ready for real work
• Marbled Carbon Fiber Handles, lightweight, strong, and visually distinctive
• AXIS Lock, ambidextrous, strong, and proven reliable
• Manual Opening, thumb stud deployment
