Bugout EDC Knife, S30V Steel Blade (535BK-2) | Graphite Black CF-Elite handle, Drop-Point blade

Lives up to its reputation. Light , slim , tough , my favorite daily carry tool.

Its a Benchmade, quality thru and thru, the bugout is my favorite carry blade, super light weight, razor sharp, customizable, and Benchmade quality.

Great pocket knife

Definitely an edc knife! I made the decision to purchase this knife because I wanted to retire my Griptilian which I've owned about 20 years. It was my 1st real quality blade, in comparison it's more substantial then its counter part the bugout. There is nothing wrong with the Benchmade bugout, accept that, it's good qualities work against it in my case. 1st the ergonomics, it feels very comfortable in the hand, i have small to medium size hands. I work as a handyman so there not skinny frail hands either. The knife is light, thin and it carries very well, you don't notice it's even there, and that's my concern. The griptilian is much bulkier/ robust so if it accidentally slips out of your pocket, you will feel it. Not do with the bugout. I enjoy using a more fuller knife, like the Coldsteel Recone 1. I do have other light, smaller blades like the Dosier which is a close comparison to the Bugout in size, weight and overall performance. It's not a 100% equivalent but at a fraction of the cost, it's pretty darn close, i choose not to carry the dosier for the same reason. It doesn't cost the same but the end result is a lost blade. If you make the purchase you won't be disappointed with the bugout, it's everything you thought it would be. I returned it, because I didn't want to toss it in a drawer and never use it but it is a good everyday carry. Hope this helps

I already have a few Benchmade and a few Zero Tolerance knife's as well as others. I wanted a super thin, light weight EDC with medium blade and the 535 Bugout fits the need perfectly. Light enough to also use as a backup sock knife. Pro's Lightweight, you barely know it's there The blade arrived sharp and ready to use The Givory CF scales are super light and have just enough grip Cons Not really any Would have been nice if the scale cross hatch would have gone from end to end for more grip Personal touches Inner edge of scales had a few slight burrs. Quick touch up with a manual deburring tool is all they needed Recurved the deep pocket clip for quicker draw Slightly loosened the pivot screw so the blade closes one handed just by pulling the Axis bar back

Awesome Knife!

This is my first benchmade knife and I love it made in the USA and it’s great so far for edc and it will be used so far all good

This item lacked the robustness I expected given the reviews and advertisements I read prior to the purchase. I realize that this was for everyday carry, but given its limited range of use I could not justify the price. It feels like an expensive box cutter. I have a 50 year old three blade made in the USA pocket knife that inspires more confidence, has a smaller profile, and is more comfortable in my hand. I returned this knife. The quality may be good but the overall feel out of the box does not work for me.

C’est un couteau extrêmement bien fait, très léger, parfait pour une utilisation quotidienne. C’est le deuxième que j’achète. Le premier est dans ma rotation habituelle, le nouveau va en reserve. L’acier S30V est excellent et avec de la pratique il est aisé de maintenir un tranchant idéal et durable.

Super couteau d'une grande marque Américaine ! 100% authentique dans une boîte scellée. Finitions ok, lame bien centrée, coupe ok, packaging ok ; l'ouverture nécessitera d'être rodée. Couteau EDC ultra-léger et très fin, plutôt Gentleman que Bushcraft. 20% moins cher ici que sur d'autres sites de VPC de couteaux, j'ai craqué 💖

Excellent couteau et la nouvelle matière utilisée pour le manche le rend beaucoup plus rigide que sur les modèles précédents.

Couteau léger, parfaitement affûté dès la sortie de la boîte.

Ce couteau est très leger et comfortable en main mais malgré sa legerté il est tout de même robuste bon la chose qui fache c'est le prix un peu exorbitant mais on connais benchmade mais franchement ce couteau est vraiment plaisant a utiliser aussi l'affutage d'usine est très grossier c'est braiment pas ouf donc je vous conseil de réaffuter le couteau pour une meilleur experience
