Reviews & Ratings for Benchmade Bugout, 3.24 in Folding Knife — 11 reviews — Page 1

Super lightweight, excellent construction, great new EDC knife.

My fiancé loves this product! Loves how lightweight it is and how slim it is.

I bought the CF version. It's an all around great EDC true pocket knife, light weigh (barely 2 oz.), slim, and very sharp blade. While in a pant pocket, it seems to disappear. The carbon fiber finish is top notch. Smooth deployment action. Overall great design and workmanship. It's jut a question of value at $330 retail; hence a 4 star instead of 5.

I am surprised by how light this knife is! It has a deep clip and almost disappears in my pocket.

Very happy with it

Great edc knife will buy more holds a good Mirrow finished edge lifetime warranty and sharpening

This is my second bugout. Had my first one about 5 years and carried everyday. Recently lost it and ordered another. I have 5 benchmades, this is the one I always carry. So light and thin, forget I have it in my pocket. The bugout handles everything I’ve put it through.

Super quality. Sharp out of the box (only the haters comment otherwise). The BM 535 series was DESIGNED to be a low profile, lightweight EDC tool knife for the grey dude. BM accomplished this and the Bugout is a fine execution. Reading some of the comment about “cheap feeling” and handle flex, make me snicker. If you need a knife built to use the handle as a hammer, there are plenty out there, but you certainly won’t find them in this compact and supe lightweight form factor. Physics is physics, this one has been engineered to design specs no doubt. If you buy a duck, then complain that it doesn’t taste like chicken — that’s on you. The specs, to include its sub-two ounce weight, are clearly called out in the description. The handle is plenty study enough for a knife designed for this purpose. If you need to pound nails or torque off a bolt, then buy a hammer and a wrench. I notice that many negative reviews use the same language in copy-cat fashion. Folks are either shills, haters or just feel more important when they are complaining. I’m sick of reading idiot reviews written by cretins.

Definitely an improvement over the original grivory scales. Really sturdy and rigid, very little flex, all while being under 1.8oz, lighter than the grivory. Very slicey blade. Not really appropriate for heavy duty cutting tasks but this is an amazing lightweight every day carry

My knife came with a really rough/gritty action. Loosening the pivot only helped a little bit. I had to remove the blade, clean, and add some lubricant to the washers. It’s decent now but really should’ve been like this from the factory at this price point.
