Extremely lightweight.
A great looking combination. The pocket clip is awesome, can't say too many good things about this knife. I was nervous about paying this much for what looks like just another knife. When I got them right away felt how light and tough this knife is out of the box. Since I retired a year ago, I find myself needing something more than a little peanut can handle. A Bugout has been in my pocket everyday since I got 'em. I already sold the one I purchased when it first came out. Textured blue Grivory handle scales over nested steel liners. Comes very sharp from the factory. The upgraded CPM S30V steel is a nice touch as well. Its cazy light and a super slicer. This is a winner, and I think great competition for some of spydercos lighter frn offerings. Feels like quality in your hand. I would not want to have this as my only knife if I had to bug out or when disaster strikes. Hat is off to Benchmade for their advertising skills. This could very well be the best EDC knife ever made. Why a company would exclude half if not more of it potential customers buy taking a political stance is beyond me. The Axis lock is really fun to fidget with. I love this knife, this is really my first high quality knife and I am loving everything about it! Also, Benchmade's S30V isn't as impossible to put a good edge on as some others I have. They flex easily. Ive been looking for a good edc for basketball shorts or running and this fits the bill perfectly. Cons: The handles are just the right shade of green as well. Ive had my bugout for around 4 months now and I love it. The blade of S35VN is ideal for EDC. While we accept most engraving requests, we cannot honor all. I did a lot of research prior to purchasing, watching videos, reading blogs and even emailing customer service at Blade HQ. I absolutely love my new benchmade, not too big nor small, just the absolute right size and an excellent cutter.Too good at cutting for safety reasons ;),and a dull knife is useless. And Im in love with the knife. Axis lock works well. I never leave reviews, but this knife deserves the exception. I got my eyes on the 940-2 just to have one a little bigger. I stumbled upon this exact knife with no prior knowledge of its existence and fell in love with it immediately. It was the knife people didn't know they were searching for. Blade HQ is not responsible for any mistakes or misspellings made by customers. It kinda reminded me of learning to ski. I was a little worried it wasn't going to live up to the hype - but I can't get over how much I love this little (and super super lite) knife. I carried this knife pretty much everyday after receiving it until I got my Sebenza. The small deep pocket clip is also perfect. Super thin, very lightweight construction make it a breeze to carry! I love this knife. It is sharp and holds an edge. I have only two tiny complaints, and one is just a personal annoyance, really. The blade is a nice shape and length - still feels like an EDC knife. This is my ideal knife for every basic edc tasks that i throw at it. S30V blade. Its super light weight too! counters, classic lines, very thin, disappears in the pocket. I've been carrying knives for years and this one takes the cake. Like i said in the title, you absolutely will not regret this purchase. Glad I dont have to send it back.

You may hear people talking about the handle being able to bend. I think people forget that BladeHQ is more than willing to grab you a good one if you ask for it. Pocket clip is deep, small and perfect for the lightweight carry. The blade and lock are top quality. My only complaint would be the grivory scales.
You'll never think twice about putting this in your pocket because it takes up too much space or weighs too much. Can't stop playing with it, its too fun and absolutely beautiful. Premium steel that holds an edge very well. [Update Oct 8, 2020] I've now had this one for a couple of weeks and it has worked its way into my pocket more than any of my other knives. great edc and its super light, you can barely tell that its there. I am very happy with the purchase and glad I bought it to add it to my toolbox full of EDC knives and daily rotation. This is not a survival knife - this is a knife for opening boxes, cutting zip ties, rubber wire protectors and orange plastic fiber optic cable protectors. This knife is light and really well balanced. A guy at work that I showed it to bought one the next day because of how awesome it was when he handled it. By far the toughest knife for its weight. In addition to the quality of the knife, i'd like to commend the quality of service BladeHQ supplies. Narrowed to Benchmade for their Axis lock and so many great reviews. The deep carry clip is a nice touch, wish more knives came with them from the factory. It looks great, disappears in my pocket, has superb steel, and is comfortable to work with. Its light weight sharp.
I love the blade shape of this knife, cuts awesome out of the box. This is my new fidget toy that also has a function. I was late to the bugout game and boy do I regret it. This thing is great. Benchmade truly made the Bugout a knife for everyone, and no collection is complete without one. Great knife. Reassembled and oiled and now its smooth as butter. I have several knives, but this action is awesome! It is a gift, it's for my son. The only problem I have with this knife is the axis lock buttons are grivory, which coming from a 940 is just weird feeling on the fingers. Very high quality, solid knife. Great knife! After my first one I started seeing all of the options to make it my own. By using this site, you accept our. I've almost put it through the wash twice, thankfully my wife isn't as scatter brained as I am. Just got mine today and as soon as I had it in hand I knew it was something special. It doesnt slide back in my pocket as easily as Id like. Emojis NOT allowed. Does it live up to the hype? The day after I got it, I was opening some boxes and misshandle the knife and cut myself almost taking out the tip of my left index. It really is a great knife and is perfect for me but for some reason I find myself looking at other Benchmade knives. Benchmade accomplishes this by losing the liners in the handles. I might could with a pair of pliers but why would I? Safe, strong, and ambidextrous AXIS-Lock mechanism.
All around excellent EDC knife. Blade HQ reserves the right to cancel any engraving requests after they have been submitted. So now I have a black blade with new copper scales, a gray blade with red scales and a gray blade with brass scales. Also I like it as a jogging knife because it does not bang around in shorts or sweat pockets. The classic look of a drop point, the light weight, and solid lock up was the selling point for me. This knife is so easy to carry. Once you get it down you wonder why you thought it was so hard. Be aware of that potential when buying benchmade these days. BM will not send replacement springs. I believe this knife could do anything you wanted it to do. I highly recommend for EDC. I only have two compaints. Not too hot not too cold jussssst right. When I get use to its weight, it is something I really like to carry everyday. One negative I have to say is regarding the QC. of course it is sharp too. Thats a big miss on Benchmades part but for what it is I really love this knife. The blade steel is great, the mini deep carry clip is an awesome touch, and the weight is unbelievable. Sir, So it is what it is. The frn doesn't feel cheap or weak but for the price should of gotten a little extra. As a last resort I removed the blade and blew it out with an air compressor. At last count I own several Benchmades myself so I am speaking with a great deal of product experience and some of the knives I have are over 20 years of age and still perform like a new knife. Other than that its a great knife and for the price its definitely worth a look. I purchased this knife and let me just say that it was the best decision for purchasing a new EDC ever. Returned it and got a new one that was perfectly mint. but i wanted a benchmade for my first and so i ordered it and hen it came man it was worth it. Blew 65 psi air through the action and open and closed for 30 minutes and it opens smooth a butter. stayed sharp for 3 months even though I used it every day, really tough finish on blade, and is so light I try to go and find it when it's in my pocket. The blade come razor sharp from the factory and is backed by a limited lifetime warranty from Benchmade. Only quarrel, and maybe it's in my head, but coulda shoulda been g10 scales. I would return it, but I had the blade engraved. If you're thinking about purchasing, go for it. Works well, nice looking. This thing was barely able to cut paper. I almost returned it because it was stiff and gritty on opening. This is the 2nd Benchmade I have purchased and it's quite nice. The Bugout matched more that definition but I was not too crazy with the CF Scales, for me it looks cheap, I own a Minigriptillian and that is the thing I don't like about it. Benchmade knives are a bit on the pricey side, but you get good quality from them. *Due to high order volume, Orders with customizations will be delayed by 2 business days. Have no complaints about fit/finish, love the overall ergonomics. After receiving mine, I can say I really dont understand the complaints. I have already cut my self multiple times with it, one can say its a baptism by blood. Opens silky smooth of course, and carrys like a ghost, Doesnt feel like its there till u reach for it. No jamming, no gritty feel. Axis lock for easy one hand open and close. Great S30V Blade, slightly off-center but overall great lightweight EDC knife! It seems pretty sturdy, I do see a little give in the Grivory handle when squeezed at the middle but do not see this being an issue with its stability. I'm getting over it, though. Very light and very inconspicuous. This knife can take a beating and still work on tough tasks. This thing is the Lotus Elise of folding knives. My first blade over 3 inch and I feel spoiled! I recieved my bugout in ranger green a few days ago, I've carried it and used it everyday since, my first impressions of this knive would be"wow thing thing is light, it looks awesome, it's super thin, a bit on the small side for my liking, i would of liked a little more beef over all, the blade finish/coating soaks up oils and shows fingerprints more than any other knife i have, i love it but it has flaws". Yes, in this case I have to say Benchmade is up there in not only their knife making skills but also their warranty of their product as in if it ever gets dull and you don't want to sharped it or for some reason can't do it right they will do it for the life of the knife. Still great knives, but can fall short of the other big players in QC. I wanted something light, durable, and corrosion resistant as I spend a lot of my free time fishing on the Gulf of Mexico. The omega spring has broken twice already. Sharp.
benchmade axis serrated adamas cruwear Great knife from a company I'm disappoint in. Engraving requests may contain material that Blade HQ considers inappropriate or simply do not want to place on products. Want to see a better example of this, check out the Gold Class Bugout! It's not off by much, though. Ive carried it every day since I got it and even though its not my favorite, it is quickly moving up the list. This knife is good for both the collectors and the guy who just needs/wants a good EDC blade it's light, thin, strong and just impressive to look at. And it looks dope!!! No adjustment or combination of possible adjustments will fix it. I felt like I was just going to be paying for a name.
I sent it back to Benchmade for review and its better, though still not perfect. I just keep them lubricated and cleaned up after using in the bush. The Bugout has far exceeded what I wanted in an EDC. My finger can attest to it.
Definitely would recommend this blade as a EDC/first big purchase. This was my first, and probably my last Benchmade. This is my first pocket knife purchase. This model gets an extra star compared to the blue handled model. I bought mine from amazon in which came from DLT Trading. Its so thin it disappears in the pocket. I purchased this specifically for the blade metal and how little this knife weights. I was definitely wanting to finally get a Benchmade so I was looking into the mini-griprilan, the full size griptilian, as well as a few others. It's light enough to not be noticed and always sharp & ready for anything. Its so lightweight, it feels good, the blade just falls shut and its beyond smooth. It is a excellent knife and I can barley keep myself from admiring it constantly and wanting to use it constantly. This knife is perfect gold. Aside from that it slices like a champ and looks amazing. The weight, the steel, the blade, the action, the lock-up, the looks, the clip - all excellent. It looks proper in OD green and brass. The price of the green and black is ridiculous, however I havent found another knife that does what a bugout does. The mini-deep-carry pocket clip put the knife down in your pocket where it remains discreet. The action is also crazy smooth. Great knife. That being said, I have been carrying this knife for about a couple of weeks now and i can honestly say that from the moment i first got it out of the packaging and into my pocket, I instantly fell in love with this knife. I can see using it like that if weight is a problem like a bug out bag, now I know why the name, but I wanted a heftier knife so install the copper scales right away. I love how light it is, and how thin it it. This is my first Benchmade and I am impressed with this knife. Its practically weightless, ultra thin, and sharp right out of the box. The axis lock pulls back smoothly and the blade drops freely. The bugout is a great choice for a EDC especially with its mini deep carry pocket clip and s30v blade its an all around amazing EDC. Some may contain trademarks or other terms that we do not have the right to use. People say S30V is harder to sharpen than S35VN, but from my experience, S30V was easier to sharpen and re-profile vs the S35VN on my Sebenza. Used properly it will serve you well for what a pocket knife is generally used for. It is extremely lightweight and disappears into your pocket. Love the one-handed opening action. The S30V blade comes out of the box razor sharp. Most knives I have owned would show signs of rust and discoloration by the time I got home but, NOT my Benchmade Bugout. -Razor-sharp out of the box & blade centering was dead on Great knife for a great price that was built to last. The blade shape is perfect, S30V holds and edge and sharpens easily. It's light, capable, and has a high fidget factor. It is so light that I can not feel it when I am carrying it. I am a supervisor for a construction company and the knife comes out of my pocket for real practical use at least three to four times a day (mainly opening boxes and cutting straps). i played with it for days just because how it feels in my hand and the axis lock is so nice. Awesome all around and can't wait to carry it tomorrow.
Cancellations are not possible once the engraving process has begun. Seriously. Sorry a knife at this price doesn't need a "break in". A stellar EDC blade. It's definitely not a harder use knife but that's ok, I like it non the less. It is very flimsy and more suited for opening bags, mail, packing tape on boxes or cutting twine. It's definitely feather light! For that purpose, this knife is the best!
benchmade bugout cpm couteaux s30v griptilian taschenmesser hikers otaggle grivory couteau 530v 1803 All in all this knife deserves five stars at first impress, Thin, Light, Perfect for EDC. When I saw the Bugout in Ranger Green, I had to have it. So, whatever. good lockup and deployment. -Deep pocket clip & great ergonomics Overall, I have no complaints about this knife. I have had it now a couple weeks. I find myself just flicking and playing with this knife all the time. Decided I would just deal with it as the knife isn't that expensive and see how it goes just to be a bit of a guinea pig. You cant go wrong with this one! The finish on the blade is excellent to the touch. It's light, slim, and it disappears in the pocket. **Ladies** get this for your man and theyll marry you (100% scientifically tested).
How can a super lightweight knife impress someone who has owned the real deal Grayman dua, Chaves, griptilians, pm2s etcso much that it leaves me speechless. Lightweight, good action. I was recently just in the market for a new EDC knife and I was torn between a few different brands and models. The blade shape is simple and perfect for everything I've had to use use it on. A+++. Unfortunately benchmade's QC has fallen a bit lately, and mine arrived with very poor blade centering, causing the blade to slightly drag on one scale making it less flipable than it should be. I work at an retail store where opening boxes, cutting zip-ties and other general knife tasks are a common occurrence. My only complaint right now is the chromium oxide coating on the clip has a lot of drag. This knife is unbelievably light and surprisingly thin. First this is just a great knife out of the box. I bought this because I came across it during an episode of KnifeBanter and fell in love with the blade and handle profiles. Blade however is excellent.
bugout benchmade And, from personal experience, they have a great customer service department and have gone well beyond what I can expect in terms of assisting customers.department and have gone well beyond what I can expect in terms of assisting customers. I unfortunately found the knife to be rather flimsy and weak in the handle. Has substantially less presence in pocket compared to a mini grip and is much lighter. If your thinking about getting it just go for it. The proportions are great and the action/feel is perfect. I have big folders and they are not what I want so I started looking into a lightweight EDC that can open and close with a single hand. I just received the Benchmade Bugout Axis in Ranger Green. Surprisingly light in your pocket. Operates smoothly, feels good in hand, steel has good weight and sharp right out of the box. Will be removed during engraving process. Axis lock is great action and gets better with use. I was worried about the polymer handle but its built extremely well and tactile feel. Its lightweight and almost a little too lightweight. I really wanted to like this knife. Nah. The reported flex in the scales is a bit exaggerated IMO. If your engraving request is deemed unacceptable, your order will be canceled and you will be notified via email. Prices are subject to change without notice. Perfect blade shape and length. I like the style and shape of the blade and handle on this one a lot. I will say if you want a knife for camping or very hard use then the bugout is not the best option. It is the toughest looking and most tactical/outdoorsy version. The factory edge was extremely dull. And for Benchmade: Thanks for the cut.
benchmade bugout couteaux 533bk s30v knivspesialisten I have cut bait and rinsed my Bugout in saltwater on a couple of different occasions. I was really surprised at how light this knife was. I understand there is no liners in the handle to save weight but I am afraid to even use it to open a pop top lol! Texture is just enough, beautiful accents, great colorations didnt even waste time with a black handle. However, I am very hesitant to rely on this knife as my sole everyday knife. A true testament to Benchmade. So, if that knife somehow slipped past the proper QA of Benchmade I know they are the kind of company that backs their products and would most certainly take care of you so you could give your son a most excellent gift. Decided on the drop point blade in gray and I really like the Ranger Green of the Bugout so that is what I got. So I order a Flytanium copper scales right away.
bugout I highly recommend this blade for EDC, and I can't wait for the new BladeHQ exclusive black-out Bugout. The color combo on this knife is also my favorite of any Benchmade on the market right now. The thin blade slices like a dream. It was simple, utilitarian, ergonomic, lightweight, had an ambidextrous lock and opener, and was made with quality materials. SUPER lightweight. Despite reviews, I found the handle plenty strong. Other than that, it's a nice knife. My only complaint is that the gray finish on the blade scuffs really easily.
benchmade 535gry drab bugout grivory s30v scales Nice blade, very lightweight, but I am mostly a ZT guy. Same thing. I like a light thin knife that disappears in my pocket. The blade has a Military parkerized look to it being dark gray instead of black. I first looked at an assisted knife because I don't know how to open one in a flash. Mine locks up very solid and is a sturdy knife for what you would use a knife like this for. I wish they'd gone with something a little tougher like G10 or Micarta, even at the cost of added weight and thickness. It did everything I needed it to do on the trail. It was not like I was doing to much force but man I find very fast how sharp this knife is out of the box.
benchmade lanyard knife bugout This knife has gotten a lot of negative feedback but zero complaints from this guy. I prefer this Ranger Green version mainly due to color and that anti-reflective chromium nitride coating. All and all a great knife, and now I'm thinking about picking one up for myself. Ps more colors please! At first I wasn't too fond on its light-weight feel, but after a day of carrying, I barely noticed it was there. This knife is fantastic. Reversible Mini Deep-Carry pocket clip and oversized lanyard hole. However, this has to be one of my favorite EDC knifes simply because of its lightweight and thin profile. Granted you won't be chopping down any trees with it, throwing it, or any other such heavy abuse. This is my new EDC knife for work. Over all it is definitely one to have to carry or for a collection. All in all, I love this knife. It is so lightweight that you forget the knife is there in pocket until you need it. I am very happy to add this to my high end knife collection. I've had it for a month and the S30V blade has really held up, still super sharp! I honestly carry my ESEE Zancudo for backup when I inevitably run into a task I dont think the Bugout will be able to handle. Some complain about the scales are too flimsy. The locking mechanism took me three tries to master unlocking and closing the knife. I can keep going on. Opening and closing the knife became difficult and felt terrible. I can pinch the scales until they touch when the blade is out. I have one of these and in my opinion it is the best one. Not really, but it's still a damn handy little EDC. It's so small and lightweight that I hardly notice it in my pocket. Second is the annoying sound my hands/fingers make on the grivory handle material (LOL). Fit & finish. Had me sold on a bullet proof, tough as nails knife. It's a good lightweight carry and perfect for hot, summer days when carrying less is more. I pre-ordered this knife, and it was shipped to me within 2 weeks of placing the order (hats off to Benchmade for not teasing customers for long periods, and to BladeHQ for quick shipping). Now the only real issue I have is with the company Benchmade itself. When you can have a knife as light as the Bugout and still have it boast of quality materials--it's a winner in my mind. However I find that you need to be using a considerable amount of force to achieve that. Wearing basketball short the knife disappears with its light weight and deep carry clip. The included deep carry clip is also a nice touch. They're always competitive in pricing, offer free shipping as well as other various things to sweeten the deal; I got a free bottle of BladeHQ hot sauce with my order which is just plain cool. After roughly a month of carrying this knife as an EDC, I can say it's the best small knife I've had. Received the green scaled Bug out 3 days ago. This knife is wonderful. its the perfect edc knife that disappears in the pocket. Knife doesn't want to flip open, certainly doesn't drop shut. It's going to be in my pocket for a loooong time. I did a lot of research to get this knife, at the end was between the Freak, the Bailout and the Bugout. Great right out of the box. This knife is so light and thin I forget I have it on me. I went on a spree of buying knives this year, this one finds its way to my pocket or at least in my hands every single day. This is my first Benchmade and I'm very pleased with it! I've had this blade for about 2 weeks now, and I have absolutely no complaints. Taken it backpacking once and will take it on another 5 day trip at the end of the summer. After a very short time the axis lock mech developed a very gritty feel and even jammed a few times. Bought this as a gift but tested it out first. Light yet durable, sleek yet rugged. But when I read you can't close an assisted knife with a single hand, I figured I would just have to learn right quick. 8am-5pm Saturday, Blade HQ uses cookies to provide you a better user experience. Benchmades quality control and price vs what you get is a complicated thing. You may be better off not getting it actually. It truly disappears when in there. I was looking for a bigger EDC but not-knife people friendly. The light weight and full sized blade with good ergonomics makes this a EDC choice for sure. Gray chromium nitride-coated drop point blade made of CPM-S30V steel. I like the blue one better because the price is more fair. If you're on this page, you probably have done your research and possibly even seen the reviews on YouTube or elsewhere (if not, look it up). But I took it apart, cleaned it, lubed it, and it has loosened up nicely! So I made the purchase and am so glad I did. I'm beyond flabbergasted that this knife has such good reviews. No knife meets every need perfectly. Very light for the oz. I understand the knife is designed to be light but I felt you could squeeze the handles together too easily. For someone that buys this as a first expensive knife without any kind of sharpening tools I can see where this can be a let down, especially if coming from something much more inexpensive. Not much else to say -- you know the Bugout -- it's the top of the EDC food chain.
