I love my bugouts but I can see why some people stay away, the pricing doesn't make sense to me

Just added micarta scales to my bugout total game changer

I love the Benchmades.

Hi, are you a knife reviewer?

How do you say you have nothing against thè blue scales, but you find them underwhelming and cheap?

I'm a fan of 154cm. Just learn to sharpen s30v is great too.

Do the handles feel any different?

he claims not to be a helicopter parent and not for bubble wrapping the world then why does he keep cry and going on and on about how unsafe it is. its not unsafe just not user friendly as tr should. but he keeps complaining about it, if you didnt care then you would go on crying about it. plus of course the tools are sharp, i want a sharp knife and awl and what not. instead he is crying and complaining that its not safe and bla bla. hey dude go the f back home and grow a pair and trying being prepared and not half arseing it.

so this guy is a hack just like he is a hack at making crappy videos. multi tools are great to have for just in case but for someone to always relay on them and think they are great makes me question how much under prepared for life they are and how much have the hacked together using a multi tool. they are ok for a lot of things but never great and anything. plus if you are always relaying on your chitty multi tool then shouldn't you think about having some kit of tool kit available to you. if your listening to a hack about multi tools then best of luck to you. i bet money after you have a situation where your multi tool saves your day you will think im full of chit and the video was correct but once it happens over and over again and when you have a time where the multi tool gets you in worse trouble then you may go hey the person who relayed on a multi to is a total hack and nothing truly gets fixed or correctly taken care of. i also bet this guy is happy with getting by with doing the bare minimum. if that works for you then thumbs up but good luck at ever becoming anything to tell your mom about. sure the blade on this tool is a decent knife but the rest is an over weight pocket weight that sure has basic tools but way to thick, too heavy and bulky. plus opening the tools is horrible and not able to safely open one handed. i bet if you think this is a good multi too then i bet you never have really had to relay on a multi tool to get you home.

My S110V Para 3 is getting a pair of RSD ti scales on Monday. Got a replacement tube also. Already have a ti MXG clip on it. Really looking forward to this change. I think GOAT is about to bring out some stuff also. Looking to get a jimped brass backspacer when that happens. Already have that backspacer on my AD20.5 and it looks great.

You earned a like at #science. Great review! Can't talk myself into a Bugout, Kabar Dozier Hunter just a bit heavier for $30...

👍👍

Does it drop shut. You failed to mention this on the action portion.

I’ve carried my K2 everyday since I’ve got it. I broke the tip off my first one, Leatherman replaced it. I’ve put a thumbstud on it and it’s perfect. I use the tools daily too. I only ever clip it to the outside of my pants and haven’t lost it yet. The pocket clip works great. (No upgraded version two years later)

My view on the butteryfly tax is that it is annoying, but I consider it a lefty tax.

The lynch clip is Sandwashed or Beadblasted? Asking for a friend

Just getting into knives. I got the big idea design tpt slide which is just a tiny utility knife. Looking at the Benchmade Bugout now but not sure which to get. My hands aren’t huge but they’re not tiny either. I will use it mostly at work for boxes. I have to wear dress pants. From the reviews, it sounds like they would both work well because even the full size feels small enough in the pocket. I think I’m going to go with the full size but we’ll see!

FOR TASTE THE COLORS. THOSE WHO DON'T LIKE IT, DON'T BUY IT. I PERSONALLY LOVE IT AND IT'S THE ONE I WEAR DAILY. AND I HAVE THE WAVE AND THE SURGE. IT WAS A TOOL AND I ALMOST DIDN'T USE THEM. THE PRICE IF EXCESSIVE.

I just picked up my Bugout 535BK-2 today and absolutely love it!!!! I live in Texas and want to carry the lightest EDC possible because of the heat. So this goes well with my Glock 43X mos. Great video brotha 👍🏽

It it’s under 5 or 6 oz, weight is a non issue for me.. I actually prefer some heft.. the mini looks awesome tho, especially with some titanium scales. I generally prefer smaller knives.. my edc is a small crk 31 and thats generally about as big as I go. The last knife I tried before the crk was a ZT 0450.. barely any bigger but it still just felt kinda large. After dozens of knives tho, the crk is pretty ideal.. and I’ve definitely never wished that it was lighter.

I don’t like how wide the handles are compared to knives like the Benchmade Fact and 940.

Metal scales feel so much more premium and satisfying than plastics/g10. I remember years ago going from a CKRT M16 aluminum handle to a g10 Gerber and it was such cheap feeling and a let down.

Can't decide if you're a fellow Aussie with some American influences, or vice versa haha. Subbed either way, hope you get around to some more videos if you have a chance!

Great video man I stay in gilbert az myself its nice to see someone local into tge same hobby as muself

Giantmouse is my favorite knife company even tho I have all.kinds I carry the biblio and the ace grand and the riv titanium love am all

$400 for a knife coming through REATE is about average.

Hay are u still using both of ur bugouts and if so have u had any issues with the omega springs breaking great video

I got the Green alu Iona. I wish this was my first knife, it might have prevented me from buying some of my Kizers :P It feels truly amazing. I am in love with the blade on the iona. it has handled everything I have thrown at it so far with ease. and the design language is right up my alley.

Steel Will Knives is based in the USA. Some of the knives are produced in Italy and the rest are made in China and USA.

the mini has a cericote finish on the blade the only dlc coating on it is on the titanium access lock bar and studs, although the cf elite does have a dlc coated blade. also grivory is what Benchmade calls there FRN polymer but its the same thing and its what the mini has as a handle material as apposed to the cf elite which has the carbon fiber variant. but the mini and the original bugout 535 share the same cheap ass handle. btw great video my friend very well put together

AZ summers suck so bad. I too am in AZ, and I prefer carrying lightweight as well, my BM51 makes a great edc balisong, and my bugout is arriving soon!

Am torn between these knives full size or mini? You can only buy one.

Great review, one of the only ones of this knife. Thank you!

I like mine, but it's crazy hard to open one handed! I also love LM and have carried them for decades... I'm trying to open and close my T2 a few hundred times a day...hopefully it gets easier. I did also buy the pocket clip and had it custom engraved from LM...so I'm committed...but not happy yet. I do find the package opener to be very useful and I use it a lot...I wonder if its because it's actually easier to open than the actual blade, lol?!

Im new the kinfe stuff and as my first knife i love the smock

Good video just got the 535/2 unreal the wait . You could put it on a key chain . Still very new , like yesterday. Needs to be broken in , will not flip open yet . And will not drop at all . Heard to loosen the top screw . Think I will wait that out . And use it for a bit , before doing anything like that ... thanks

This is my favorite knife, but I can't afford it. I live in a poor country where after import taxes this knife will cost me 2 months of paychecks :( Maybe one day I will save up for this beauty.

Thanks for displaying the locking mechanism so clearly. I love it.

Love this knife! Will have to see if they will ship one to me in QLD. I like the natural micarta

Hell yea brother I’m a left too are you also semi ambi?

I own both of these and both are really GREAT knives IMO! I have used mine as EDC's for a long while now without any issues. They do not break or overly wear under extreme use. I have put mine to extremes at times. lol They never failed. The white really does not get dirty looking with use. Just wipe it down from time to time and it has never looked dirty over major use. I love my Spyderco, Microtech, etc... knives also but the added items, like the satin storage bag, etc... from Benchmade are a really nice feature IMO. Wish Spyderco, Microtech, etc... would start using more than a knife in a plastic bag, in a box. lol Most of these USA knives are not cheaply priced.

I didn’t see this mentioned in your video so I thought I’d bring it up being your videos are a little light on politics. Benchmade cut up guns and allowed the fuzz to use them in their anti-2A propaganda. Having said that I would have gave them a pass if they made some Damascus blades from the destroyed gun steel. They missed an excellent opportunity there in my opinion. They could’ve spun the propaganda in their favor and gave the knives made from the destroyed firearms something that was an FU to the totalitarian government. Anyway it’s starting to rain so I gotta get back under the bridge from which I’ve wandered my fat troll ass to get a signal. Gooday my friend;)

Difference in flex and toughness between grivory and CF elite scales?

I totally agree with your comment on the design of the blade as far as that sharp part that is exposed when the knife is closed...it honestly is what has kept me from purchasing one. The seamless design of other knifes like the 940 or pm2 or 3 is a standard for me now.

How is the Heat treatment

If you love the Bugouts and would like to see a smaller Bugout & a bigger one, please go to Benchmade.com, use their contact form and tell them you'd like to see them make "Bugout Micro" & "Bugout Max" versions!!! Wouldn't that be cool?

RIT dye those white scales... purple.

Great video, but u got to slow down, u r to young to have a stroke....
