Abel Benchmade Mini Adira DeYoung Brown
Designed with purpose and built to last, the Mini Adira® Abel® / DeYoung® sets a high bar for durability and performance matched only by our promise that it will be yours, for life.
The handle of the Benchmade x Abel® Mini Adira® was machined and finished by Abel® in their Montrose, Colorado facility. Abel’s artisans carefully replicated artist Derek DeYoung’s original Brown Flank oil paintings by first anodizing the handle scales and then hand-painting the colorful pattern. The handles, lanyard beads, and backspacers were then passed onto Benchmade, matched with the deep-etched, polished, and DLC-coated Damasteel® blades, and assembled in the Benchmade factory.
Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition:
• Prevent Rust: 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.
• Hand-Wash Only: Always hand-wash your knife with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly.
• Use as Intended: 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.
• Sharpen with Care: 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.
• Tighten Hardware: 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.
