Benchmade 535FE-2602 Bugout Taiga Green Aluminum Brown Canvas Micarta S90V FDE Battlewash Folding Knife (3.24" Blade)

The Benchmade Bugout takes a walk in the woods here, dressed in Taiga Green aluminum and brown canvas Micarta with an FDE Battlewash blade ground from S90V, a premium steel that shrugs off edge wear.

• S90V FDE Battlewash Drop-Point Blade - S90V is a high-vanadium premium stainless that holds an edge longer than most, though that wear resistance calls for diamond or CBN stones to sharpen. The Flat Dark Earth Battlewash PVD gives the drop point a warm, worn tone.
• Ambidextrous AXIS Lock - The spring-loaded AXIS bar drops into the blade tang for a lock you can work with either hand. Dual thumb studs open the blade one-handed with a smooth, deliberate action that seats with a touch of firmness rather than falling loose.
• Taiga Green Aluminum and Brown Canvas Micarta Handle - Taiga Green anodized aluminum bolsters frame brown canvas Micarta overlays, all tied together with Burnt Copper hardware. The Micarta reads smooth and soft rather than slick, and the slim frame sits in a secure hold.
• Deep-Carry Pocket Clip - A reversible deep-carry clip rides the knife low and tip-up in either front pocket, swapping sides for left or right carry. The whole package barely registers in the pocket, which is the trait that made this platform an EDC favorite.

The Benchmade Bugout

The Benchmade Bugout built its reputation on carrying like almost nothing at all, a full-size folder you forget is clipped in your pocket. The design leans on lightweight materials and a slim profile without giving up a usable three-finger grip or a real working blade. Its AXIS lock and dual thumb studs make it fully ambidextrous, opening and closing with either hand. Benchmade builds every Bugout in Oregon City, Oregon.
