Benchmade 535BL Bugout Folding Knife Blue BM535BL

The full-size Bugout gets a fresh, confident upgrade in this SMKW Customs Crew edition fitted with blue G-10 scales. These custom-milled handles replace the standard Grivory with a tougher, more rigid material that improves durability while keeping the knife comfortably lightweight. The bold blue G-10 offers a secure, textured grip and adds a pop of color that stands out without sacrificing the Bugout’s clean, streamlined profile. It’s a practical enhancement with a touch of personality, ready for work or everyday carry.

Its 3.24-inch CPM-S30V drop-point blade delivers the balanced cutting performance that makes the Bugout so trusted. With strong edge retention, corrosion resistance, and a versatile blade shape built for slicing, piercing, and general tasks, this knife handles daily use with ease. Combined with the 7.46-inch overall length, the full-size Bugout provides excellent control and comfort, making longer tasks feel natural and efficient.

Ambidextrous thumb studs give fast, intuitive one-handed opening, while the AXIS-style crossbar lock keeps the blade secure and steady during use. A reversible tip-up pocket clip offers discreet, customizable carry, rounding out a knife built for versatility, reliability, and all-day comfort.

This custom Bugout maintains the platform’s lightweight feel and slim profile but gains upgraded durability and a striking new look through the blue G-10 handles. It’s dependable, easy to carry, and rugged enough for whatever your day throws at you.
