The Benchmade Bugout Folding Knife with a Taiga Green aluminum and natural Micarta handle paired with an S90V blade is built for lightweight, high-performance everyday carry. Designed for outdoorsmen, professionals, and knife enthusiasts who demand precision, durability, and reliability, the Bugout offers a balanced combination of premium materials and Benchmade craftsmanship. Its compact design, ergonomic handle, and razor-sharp blade make it ideal for everything from routine cutting tasks to tactical or survival applications.
At the core of the Bugout is a 3.24-inch drop-point blade crafted from S90V stainless steel, heat-treated to 59–61 HRC. S90V is known for its exceptional edge retention, corrosion resistance, and toughness, ensuring that the blade remains sharp and durable even under rigorous use. The drop-point profile provides versatility for slicing, piercing, and precision cutting, while the 0.09-inch thickness delivers strength without compromising agility. Whether you're preparing a meal in the field, handling outdoor tasks, or performing everyday cutting duties, this blade delivers consistent, reliable performance.
The handle combines Taiga Green anodized 6061-T6 aluminum with natural Micarta scales, offering a lightweight, durable, and ergonomic grip. Measuring 0.42 inches thick, the handle provides a secure hold that fits comfortably in the hand and reduces fatigue during extended use. The Micarta inserts enhance traction, even in wet conditions, while the aluminum frame keeps the knife strong and rigid. Together, the materials create a balanced, visually striking design that feels as good as it looks.
The Bugout employs Benchmade’s AXIS® Lock mechanism, a proven system that allows smooth, ambidextrous, one-handed operation and reliable blade lockup. With an overall length of 7.46 inches when open, this knife strikes a perfect balance between portability and functional reach, making it versatile enough for everyday carry, outdoor adventures, or tactical scenarios. Weighing just 2.52 ounces, it’s lightweight enough to carry comfortably without sacrificing performance or durability.
