Benchmade Bugout Black Blade With CF-Elite Handle + Axis Lock

The Benchmade 535Bk-2 Bugout is a new take on the classically designed drop-point everyday carry knife - this particular model has a black coated blade and rigid CF elite handle. At 7.46" in overall length and weighing in at just 1.8oz, this knife might be small, but it provides an outstanding blade-to-weight ratio.

Flat ground from CPM-S30V stainless steel, this already hard steel (HRC 58-60) is also DLC coated for added protection against marring and corrosion. Diamond-like carbon coating bonds carbon molecules directly to the steel at an atomic level, giving it a thin layer of protection that increases the outside hardness of the steel while protecting it. This blade stock has been sharpened down from .090" stock down to a razor's edge, which holds its sharpness cut after cut.

The blade deploys from its 4.22" long CF-Elite handle with the aid of ambidextrous thumb studs, it opens and closes easily with one hand. The bugout folder locks securely into place with the patented Benchmade AXIS locking device. A reversible steel spring clip gives you a deep pocket carry and a generous lanyard hole allows for other carry options and applications with the use of paracord. Excellent for tactical, first response, or EDC use, this knife comes in black and features a limited warranty against materials and workmanship. Benchmade knives are proudly made in the USA.
