What Benchmade says:
A heavy-use folding knife built for tasks in wet environments — from bait prep to cutting lines to scaling small fish — the Adira is truly a waterman’s EDC, crafted to support your outdoor lifestyle on and off the water. Featuring a 3.6” drop-point blade made of CPM-MagnaCut stainless steel, this pocket-ready aquatic folder uses an AXIS Lock mechanism with stainless springs and takes advantage of hi-vis colored details with a useful orange lanyard for easy pocket access. Sure to be any fisherman’s favorite folder.

Drop Point
Drops off the spine to the tip. Tip height is typically below the center line on the blade.

CPM-Magnacut Super Stainless Steel (60-62 HRC)
A new stainless tool steel with a combination of toughness and edge retention with excellent corrosion resistance and strength.

Grivory
Glass-filled thermoplastic composite known for being extremely light and durable. Widely used for automotive, industrial, and aerospace applications.

Quinn Knives' take:
Anyone that's talked to me in-store knows that I love knives built with a mission in mind, and the Adira is one of those knives. The whole line-up of Benchmade's new "Water" series is awesome, with attention to detail for those that live and work along the water's edge. We have a lot of Navy customers here in San Diego, and this is definitely going to be high on the 'recommended' list for our sailors. Even if you don't find yourself out on the water, the full-size Adira easily works as a hard-use, no-compromise folder, worth checking out.
