If you have not added the Benchmade Bugout to your collection yet, now is the time. This is a beautiful, lightweight, easy-handling knife that ticks all the right boxes. The Benchmade 535 is perfect for the modern adventurer and everyday user. It will quickly become your go-to tool.
First of all, it is light as a feather. Do not let that fool you, though, as it is incredibly tough and perfect for backpacking, hiking, and camping. The reinforced handles have embedded liners and an open-back construction to keep the weight at a minimum. The blade is American-made CPM-S30V stainless steel. This steel is very corrosion resistant, and the blade stays sharp for a long time. The modified drop-point blade profile looks great and is a perfect shape to use in multiple applications.
Whether you are right-handed or left-handed, the ergonomic handle is easy to grip. It is molded from glass-filled nylon which gives it superior durability. The reversible (right or left side) short deep-carry clip adds little weight and makes the knife easy to pocket anytime. At the end of the handle, you’ll find an integrated large lanyard hole so you can choose from a variety of carry options and lanyard styles.
To ensure a smooth and safe action for both opening and closing, the Benchmade Bugout features the AXIS Lock mechanism. The blade opens with a satisfying amount of momentum without much effort from the user, and it closes just as quickly. The ability to open and close the knife with one hand makes it even more versatile, leaving your other hand free the whole time.
If you are looking for another addition for your EDC collection – or one knife to be your daily driver –the Benchmade 535 Bugout is the perfect knife. Take it along in your tackle box, backpack, survival kit, or any place where you want to be able to rely on quality design and construction.
We’ve had to keep these on order ever since the original release. Users rave over the versatility of the Bugout, and many say it is the best EDC knife they have ever owned. Razor-sharp, this knife will give you its all every time.
