Benchmade Bugout EDC Folding Axis Hiking Camping Knife S30V B535

Benchmade Knives Bugout Axis Blue Folding Knife B535

The Bugout (model 535) is a new mid-year offering from Benchmade in 2017, and the biggest draw is the weight…or more accurately, the lack thereof. The Bugout only weighs 52.7 grams, which is really absurdly light considering the dimensions of the knife: a 82mm blade with a 108mm” handle is almost never this light. Benchmade’s own full-sized Griptilian is over twice the weight with a 88mm blade. The Bugout is seriously light.

Part of its lightweight package comes from the super-thin (10.6mm) Grivory handles that forego steel liners for weight reduction. An anodized blue thumb stud matches the vibrant blue color of the handles, making the Bugout easy to find if you drop it – which is the intended MO of the Bugout, being designed as a lightweight camping knife for hikers who count and obsess over every gram.

The Bugout again uses the Axis Lock which in this instance is fashioned from DLC-coated Titanium for weight reduction – and has a reversible tip-up pocket clip as well as a lanyard hole integrated into the butt of the handle. If you’re looking for the peak of ultra-lightweight folding blades for your minimalist camping loadout, this is at the cutting edge.

The Bugout was designed for the modern outdoor adventurer, incorporating the lightest, best performing materials in an extremely slim yet ergonomic package.

A great knife for EDC or to part of a bug-out bag, it combines unbelievably light weight with rock solid construction as you would expect from Benchmade Knife Company….and it’s S30V steel!!
