Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the AXIS lock system reliable for tactical use?

The AXIS lock uses a spring-loaded bar that engages the blade tang from both sides. This creates a secure lockup that won't fail under heavy cutting loads and allows smooth one-handed operation from either side.

Is the malice clip compatible with standard MOLLE webbing?

Yes, the deep-carry malice clip is designed to integrate with MOLLE-compatible gear including plate carriers, chest rigs, and tactical packs. The clip position is reversible for left or right-hand carry.

How does D2 steel perform compared to stainless options?

D2 tool steel offers superior edge retention and cutting performance compared to most stainless steels. It requires more maintenance to prevent corrosion but holds a sharp edge longer under heavy use.

What's included with the knife?

The Adamas comes with a Cordura belt sheath that weighs 1.50 oz. The knife also features a lanyard hole for additional retention options.

Can the serrated edge be sharpened in the field?

Serrated edges require specialized sharpening tools and techniques. For field maintenance, focus on keeping the blade clean and dry. Professional sharpening is recommended for serrated edges.
