I initially dismissed the Bugout based on the "cheap feel", but now that I have one- I really like it. I carry small fixed blade when I know I need knife and I really don't think I would harm the Bugout on the tasks that I use my other folders. The weight and locking mechanism are what won me over.
Just ordered one. It's my first benchmade knife, I told myself if I didn't like the feel of the scales I could upgrade to the titanium scales, or get a griptilian in g10 later
@chimchu3232 my first benchmade, which is this bugout, was just delivered to my house. I cannot wait to get home!
"If you're really careful, you can get your tool in there." Man, if I had a dollar for every time I've been told that...
LOL
yep, I recently got one of these, been getting top bill in the rotation, I keep going to it. Has so many positives, not totally without faults, but a great edc blade no doubt.
Great review. Very seldom do I agree with everything said but this is the exception to the rule. I believe it is a great EDC for light cutting. If doing anything heavier something with full liners would just feel better in the hand.
This is exactly why I collect knives of all sizes and weight. When I’m in jeans and boots I’m usually carrying my Recon1. If I’m in a pair of light shorts and flip flops then the bugout will probably be in my pocket. It’s always nice to have options. 🍻
My man!
I definitely agree with you, I’m a knife guy and this is definitely more minimalist, I like the bug out for the reason it has that plastic feeling, but I’d never use it for heavy work.
Is it a little pricey? Yep! But I bought one of each anyway. Added carbon scales to the DLC coated one. I love them. Disappears in shorts or sweats. Does any daily task you need it to, within reason. Blade shape and size as well as overall package are perfect for my hands and use and no other knife has the same benefits, for me. I flip between 535 and 940 for EDC mainly.
I carried a mini grip for 3 tears give or take and its starting to be a bit beatin. so I bought a bugout as a replacement. I really expected it to be similar but its not at all really. after about 2 weeks of carrying the bugout I can say I've really come around to it. I am hard on knives but the mini grip stood up to it. I've not changed the way I use my edc and so far the bugout is much tougher than it looks and feels. all in all I'm pretty happy with it. it can take alot more punishment than you'd think by feeling it. opened about 10 cans with it this week in the woods and did some small bushcraft tasks with it just for fun. still tight like a nun and smooth as butter. no complaints.
God, I love me a nun.
Nearly every knife I have bought you have reviewed or are about to review. Hinderer xm-18 m390 swedged spear in black stonewashed dlc, manix 2 DLT red, shaman, and now the DLT benchmade Grip with carbon fiber and m390...now all you need to review is boos blades smoke in CF and my spyderco R2 and you pretty much got them all . No wonder I like this channel so much haha.
I'll have to give those other 2 a look!
The day he did Piercer review I literally got mine in mail. Then my Manix 2 came and he did video too lol.. I really like this channel!!
Great review. Very well thought out and fair, in my opinion. Just picked one up the other day and I’m loving it but it definitely has its limitations.
Very few things stop a D6 CAT bulldozer....one of those things is an alert on my phone showing a new Metal Complex knife video haha
Lol this now officially one of my favorite comments ever.
I’m retired now and I walk a few miles a day for exercise. I bought this knife specifically for my exercise shorts I wear. Yes it’s a cheap feeling knife, however, it suits light weight clothing very well.
It feels cheap but it acts like an expensive one.
I did wash it in the washing machine. Blew it out with compressed air and oiled it and it was just fine.
Still need a Bugout, love the design and surprisingly the feel
Great review filled with info
Very nice review my pick one up in that color
I.just got the benchmade bugout blue and I absolutely love it no blade play and the blade is dead center but its def very light compared to my other benchmades and spydercos I got it new for 112 bucks i think the price is ok for a bench made
I don’t get the infatuation with the lightest possible nice. Gotta have some heft to the knife!
Ricky's contribution to the channel... "Occasional Sprint/Exclusive Spydercos & Exceptional Reverse Flicking Capability" :'D
Hahaha. Those are VERY important contributions!
It'd be nice to see this knife compared to the Buck 112 slim pro in Micarta and S30V. I'm interested in both but no dealers have the Buck for me to handle.
This knife should have G10 scales!
G10 upgrade diesnt cost much but you can get g10 scales
very thorough
I own a bugout with
The satin and blue handle i love it but the other day the omega spring broke i only have it for a month and when i opened it the other day the spring pops
I bought the Bugout Cf Elite, because it was on sale for under $100 and I love it! Surprising, because I tend to carry big knives. Wonders never cease. :-)
Disclaimer: I almost always carry at least four knives at a time.
Where did you find it on sale for that price?
I just got my 2nd Bugout. 1st was the Blackout version from Blade HQ and the 2nd was this version, and I was not as lucky as you with the centering. I love the knife, but both I received were horribly off centered. Not sure how to fix this. This could be my favorite knife if it wasn't for the very awful centering. Any ideas on how to fix this without replacing scales or returning?
Nobody has that knife there's only 2 reviews on that griptialian M390 blade I'm pumped
Yes 4-5 videos a week bro!!
great video I subscribed
Yo I just ordered that. Griptialian no shit I'm waiting for it to come in the mail
Yes
Yeah David loaded you up brother....... Blow um out!!!! Yeah 2019!!!!!
Been on the fence with the Bugout. I'd immediately swap out the scales with a CF one. Is it "worth" it? Probably not. But it sure would be cool looking. Just might do it...
Check out Big Brown Bears review and also Zac's Stuff Bugout scales review. You can get pretty much anything including titanium.

Benchmade website says grey coated. Where are people getting the info it's DLC coating?
My problem with BM is their prices with g10.. add 60 $ at least.. kinda why my last 3 over 100 $ are all spydercos. 2 Manixs and a Yojimbo. I’ll get a pm2 and a shaman before I go bm. Don’t get me wrong I know they make good stuff but a griptilian in g10 is 175$ I refuse to spend 100 for plastic
I carry it everywhere...really would like to see a delica vs bugout video
Will do 😁
I ordered the cf s90v version... hope it's alcohol as ppl say
Knew I'd hate the plastic blue handles and I was not wrong. Put some 3D CF scales on it and you'd have to feel the difference to understand. Completely different animal now
That's my first knife of 2019
So they want us to pay more for this one with the coated blade than a Manix 2 in 20CV?🤔
Nope!
Benchmade is weird. The 940 better value for example is the one with 20CV, 199 against 187 for the regular one, and there is no way the CF makes it a 275 knife no matter 90cv.
I’ll wait for the 20CV Bugout...😏
Can someone point me to a knife like this with a durable blade metal, a button or slide lock, and similar size, thinness, and weight of this one for less money?
5 days a week the bugout is all the knife I need.
On the Weekends you need a ColdSteel 💪🏻
I ❤️ my bugout knife
Anyone use a lanyard with this gem?
I don’t care about weight in my blade so I wouldn’t buy this. Nice video as always
Although I think Benchmade named it horribly, I really like my Bugout. When I think of a bugout knife, I imagine a beefy fixed blade survival knife with a hollow handle for matches and a wire saw.
It is a great little EDC knife though. Also a lot tougher than it looks and feels. I abuse mine pretty regularly, and it still looks and feels new. FRN is to knives what polymer frames are to handguns. Purists hate it and think it’s cheap and flimsy, but look how everyone has a Glock clone now.
хороший нож
Now it’s up to comment #69, you’re welcome !
Don’t let @wranglestar see this....
Lol, we had nearly the same opinion in the end, but he dismissed the knife entirely. I can see why some people would like it.
Metal Complex yeah I wouldn’t bother with this knife. Especially for price. Rather get a lw para 3 for 91$ if I’m worried about weight but I’m always wearing jeans so I don’t care about weight
Z?
You review very expensive and beautiful knives but you have a worn out tape measure. 😬
So it’s ‘expensive’, ‘flimsy’ and BM has inconsistent QC. Yet it’s a best-seller.
Why?
I know it's like how everyone hates Nickelback but they still make money and tour, so SOMEBODY has to be liking them...right?
I ended up returning my bugout.. super flexy frame, that i do not trust.
a yearish late but look into the CF-Elite if you want one that’s kickass!
I also hate the Benchmade Bugout!!! I also think it feels flimsy and very cheap, it's also in my opinion overpriced for sure!!! I like how you came to your own conclusion on the Bugout, because everyone and their mother seems to love the Benchmade Bugout. When Cody(WranglerStar) said in a youtube video of his that he really hated the Bugout, a lot of people in the youtube knife community were triggered and basically they lost their shit!!! CZcamsrs were making videos of saying how and why Cody(WranglerStar) was wrong and how he was an idiot. Like yourself and Cody(WrangletStar) I'm able to make my own opinion and can think for myself, I didn't drink the Benchmade Bugout Kool-Aid like everyone else did. Here's a link to Cody(WranglerStar) video about the Benchmade Bugout that triggered everyone - czcams.com/video/TXm_GTDXfNk/video.html
