With SHOT Show 25 wrapping up soon, I thought this would be a great time to highlight some of my favorite new knives announced by Benchmade. Benchmade knives definitely came out swinging this year with lots of new designed and updates on some of their most popular models. Probably the knife I’m most excited about has to be the Adira Black Serrated with its new colorway. I’m not someone who go diving but this knife might make me change that just so I can have an excuse to use it if I get one for myself. Anyways here are all of the Benchmade knives that piqued our interest at SHOT Show 2025.

Mini Bedlam – Benchmade is expecting a HUGE response from knife enthusiasts and Benchmade fans around this knife. Originally, the Bedlam was a full-sized knife, specially produced by Benchmade when the King of Jordan asked for 20 knives to be specifically designed for his secret service protection. The Bedlam is a knife that is long loved by Benchmade fans, and customers have been clamoring for it to be back in production. Benchmade’s answer is the Mini Bedlam, the same beautiful design but in a more digestible EDC version. This knife is intense, but it is crazy how great it feels in hand! Inspired by snakes and pythons, the colorways are magnificent. This knife honestly blew me away!
