  • Great pocket knife
This is the 3rd time my husband has ordered this knife! Unfortunately, he lost the first 2. 😳 Regardless, there is a reason he keeps reordering the same knife. It is really sharp, well weighted - not too heavy/not too light, and well made. He likes that he can open it with the snap of his wrist. It is so handy. I can’t believe how many times I ask him if I can borrow his knife. So useful!!! ... show more

  • Great Slicer
Like most people that carry Benchmade knives, I have been a knife guy since I was a knife boy. I actually purchased this knife because it reminded me of the simplicity of my first Buck folder I got when I was 8 years old. I typically don't bother with smaller knives like this and purchased it solely for a sort of nostalgia. When the knife arrived, I was so impressed that it became one of two knives that I carry everyday. It is VERY lightweight. Some reviewers seem to think this is a detriment for some reason; I love it. If you want a big, beefy, manly knife, then order one of those type of knives. This clearly is not one of them, and it is not fair to compare the Bugout to one of those. It is lightweight, has a great pocket clip, and jiminy cricket the blade is thin and sharp. It slices like a well-made Japanese santoku blade despite being a little folder. My hands are not particularly big, and this fits very well in my hand. Usually I go for traditional colors, but the blue is cool and stands out. I would not recommend this as a primary blade for wilderness carry, but I would have no problem carrying it as a back up. It isn't particularly great messing with brush or rough activities, however, though I haven't tried, I bet I could filet a trout with it. ... show more

  • Nice Lightweight EDC Knife
I really like my Bugout. A lot has been said about quality control issues, and my blade was not centered when it arrived (luckily an easy fix). The inside edges of the handle are also a bit sharp as other people mentioned but it's not an issue with normal gripping of the handle. The handle feels comfortable in my medium-sized hands. The aesthetics of the knife are great and I love the matching anodized blue thumb studs. It also sits really low in your pocket so I don't feel out of place carrying it downtown, etc. Mine arrive what I would call "pretty sharp" (not quite as sharp as my Spyderco Chaparral out of the box). My Mini Crooked River also arrived in a similar state so I think Benchmade just doesn't really nail the sharpening for whatever reason. If you are an enthusiast, you will want to sharpen it yourself to a mirror edge anyway and if you aren't you will probably be pleased with the out-of-the-box sharpness. So, I don't consider this a major gaffe but it's something to consider. My only critique of the Bugout is the price. It feels slightly expensive for what you get. The Spyderco Chaparral, for example, is cheaper and I end up carrying it more than my Bugout. If you want the Benchmade Axis Lock (which really is great for single-handed operation) or you are drawn to the looks of the Bugout, it is worth it. If you are OK with worse opening / closing ergonomics but better handle / carry ergonomics and want to save a few bucks, check out the Spyderco Chaparral. Neither will disappoint you. ... show more

  • The One I Carry Every Day - Lightening Fast!
First let me say, I’m a Spyderco guy. I used to watch the reviews & hope the reviewer concluded that the Spyderco was the best head to head. I still think that Spyderco is the best value for the money, for knives for harder uses; and I own over a hundred knives from various manufacturers. However... With that out of the way, the Benchmade Bugout 535 is excellent, and is the knife I now carry every day! I know that the rub on this knife is the grivory scales & lack of a full internal steel liner. That said, most people will appreciate the tradeoff of strength vs weight. I own several businesses which are warehouse based. I wear casual clothes to work. This knife is lightweight, the clip is perfect and not too big, and I can deploy it in a flash. With one hand, I can quickly pull it from my back pocket, deploy it, cut some banding, close it, and have it back in pocket, before most people even see it! The ergos are perfect. You barely have to move your fingers to close it. It is faster than a full auto (with the exception of an OTF), because it can be closed as fast as it can be deployed. It is perfectly balanced, flips out so quick and closes without “bouncing” off the lock pin! No other manually deployed knife in the market, deploys AND closes as fast as this one, and is as light, including the Benchmade Griptillian & the 940 series. No one should use a $100.00 plus knife as a prybar! Very few would function if misused anyway. This is not a hard use knife. Yes, a stronger knife might be more appropriate for hunting, camping & hard use; but for everyday carry and office warehouse usage, this knife cannot be beat. It is wicked sharp, stays sharp, and can easily be retouched with a chefs sharpening steel. I highly recommend it for medium duty tasks such as cutting boxes, food prep, opening packages, opening letters, cutting banding, cutting medium rope, cutting leather, and digging out splinters! I would not be without it! ... show more
