Benchmade 535DG Bugout Folding Knife Day Glow BM535DG

The full-size Bugout gets a bold, high-visibility upgrade in this SMKW Customs Crew edition fitted with Dayglow green G-10 scales. These custom-milled handles replace the standard Grivory with a tougher, more rigid material that offers excellent durability while keeping the knife lightweight and easy to carry. The bright Dayglow green color demands attention, making this Bugout easy to spot in a pack, on a workbench, or in low-light environments. Textured G-10 ensures a secure, confident grip, whether you’re out in the woods, at the jobsite, or handling daily tasks.

Its 3.24-inch CPM-S30V drop-point blade provides the reliable cutting performance the Bugout platform is known for—strong edge retention, dependable corrosion resistance, and a blade shape that handles everything from slicing to piercing with ease. With a total length of 7.46 inches, the full-size Bugout fills the hand nicely, offering excellent control without adding unnecessary bulk.

Ambidextrous thumb studs allow quick one-handed deployment, and the AXIS-style crossbar lock delivers consistent, secure lockup during use. A reversible tip-up pocket clip makes carry discreet and adaptable, keeping this bright, capable knife ready for whatever your day throws at you.

This Dayglow green version maintains the Bugout’s signature light weight and slim profile while adding standout visibility and upgraded toughness through its G-10 construction. It’s practical, rugged, and impossible to misplace—an ideal choice for hikers, workers, and everyday carriers who want performance with personality.
