The Bugout is Benchmade's lightest and most packable everyday carry knife. Designed for the modern outdoor enthusiast, it features a slim, lightweight profile with a full-flat-ground CPM-S30V blade and a minimalist Grivory handle. The AXIS locking mechanism is ambidextrous and one of the smoothest in the industry.

Best EDC purchase I've made in years
TrailBlaze99Verified· 2024-11-14

Carried this for 6 months daily and it's held up perfectly. The steel keeps a great edge and it's easy to resharpen. Deployment is buttery smooth.

Solid knife, minor gripes

Love the ergonomics and the steel choice. My only complaint is the pocket clip is a bit stiff out of the box. After a week it loosened up nicely.

Worth every penny

You can feel the quality the moment you pick it up. Fit and finish is excellent. The lock is super secure and the blade geometry is perfect for EDC tasks.

My forever EDC
PackLightPeteVerified· 2024-08-05

Went through about 12 different knives before landing on this one. It's the perfect balance of weight, size, and steel quality. Highly recommend.
