Benchmade 535 Bugout Folding Knife Customized Black and Gray

The full-size Bugout takes on a stealthy, hard-use attitude with this SMKW Customs Crew configuration featuring black Grivory handles and a gray-finished blade. The dark polymer scales keep the knife lightweight, tough, and ready for daily carry while offering a clean, tactical look that fits anywhere from the workbench to the backcountry. Their textured surface delivers dependable grip without adding bulk, making the knife feel fast and responsive in the hand.

Up front, the 3.24-inch CPM-S30V drop-point blade delivers the cutting performance the Bugout platform is known for. The gray finish brings a rugged, subdued tone that pairs perfectly with the black scales while adding extra resistance against wear and corrosion. With a total length of 7.46 inches, the full-size Bugout provides a confident, comfortable grip and increased cutting leverage without sacrificing the slim, easy-carry profile that made it a favorite among outdoorsmen and EDC users alike. Ambidextrous thumb studs give smooth one-handed deployment, and the AXIS-style crossbar lock ensures secure, reliable lockup during real work.

This SMKW-customized black-and-gray Bugout keeps things clean, capable, and purpose-driven. It’s a no-nonsense tool with dependable performance, dependable materials, and a look that stays sharp no matter how hard you run it.
