Benchmade 535JD Bugout Folding Knife Jade BM535JD

The full-size Bugout gets a fresh, modern twist in this SMKW Customs Crew edition fitted with jade green G-10 handle scales. These custom-milled scales replace the standard Grivory with tough, rigid G-10 that boosts durability while keeping the knife impressively lightweight. The translucent jade green color gives the Bugout a unique, almost ethereal appearance—clean, stylish, and eye-catching without compromising its practical, work-ready nature. Textured G-10 ensures a reliable grip, making the knife comfortable and secure whether you’re outdoors, on the job, or handling everyday tasks.

Its 3.24-inch CPM-S30V drop-point blade delivers the balanced performance that’s made the Bugout a favorite for years. With strong edge retention, dependable corrosion resistance, and a versatile blade geometry suited for slicing, piercing, and daily cutting chores, it’s a tool ready for real use. Combined with the 7.46-inch overall length, the full-size Bugout provides excellent control and a hand-filling feel that makes longer tasks easier and more precise.

Ambidextrous thumb studs offer smooth one-handed deployment, and the AXIS-style crossbar lock ensures solid, repeatable lockup every time. A reversible tip-up pocket clip supports comfortable, discreet carry, making this Bugout as convenient to carry as it is satisfying to use.

This jade green G-10 version keeps the Bugout’s lightweight build and sleek lines but adds a standout aesthetic and added durability through its upgraded scales. It’s a capable, stylish, and easy-to-carry knife built for everyday reliability.
