Benchmade and Abel have joined forces again for an exceptionally limited edition of the Mini Adira, featuring original Brown Trout Flank artwork from artist Derek DeYoung.
Limited to just 250 knives, this collaboration pairs Benchmade's versatile Mini Adira platform with custom aluminum handle scales machined and anodized by Abel. Each scale features DeYoung's unmistakable Brown Trout Flank artwork, hand-painted in the same spirit as Abel's VAYA and ROVE reel series.
The knife is built around a Damasteel blade featuring the exclusive Monarch pattern, finished in black DLC for a dark, distinctive appearance. Abel also manufactures the aluminum backspacer and matching lanyard bead, bringing the collaboration through every major visual detail of the knife.
This is equal parts functional outdoor knife and collectible piece of fly-fishing craftsmanship.
