Always wanted an Adamas. I know Lebanon, MO. Many floating trips on all those Ozark Missouri rivers including the Buffalo River in Arkansas. Was going to purchase an Adamas years ago when we lived in Oregon. Was always at the Benchmade factory in Oregon City for free sharpenings. But I ended up getting the Gerber 06 Manual in S30V and still carry that beast everyday since 2006.
Both are good knives and fit for hard use. That said, the Adamas has a crossbar lock that is a little bit too weak for the heavy blade. I get easily flick it open without using the lock.
