Benchmade SMKW Custom 533BK1YJ Mini Bugout Folding Knife Yellowjacket BM533BK1YJ

The Mini Bugout gets a bold, high-visibility overhaul with the Yellowjacket edition, custom-dyed by the Smoky Mountain Knife Works Customs Crew. The bright yellow Grivory handles bring a punch of color that’s impossible to miss, turning an already lightweight EDC into a standout piece of gear with real attitude. These durable, textured scales keep the knife featherlight yet secure in the hand, ready for everything from trail duty to daily cutting tasks.

The CPM-S30V drop-point blade keeps performance at the forefront, offering excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance. Its sleek black finish adds a sharp contrast to the vivid yellow handle, giving the knife a fast, aggressive look worthy of the Yellowjacket name. Ambidextrous thumb studs make one-handed opening quick and intuitive, while the AXIS-style crossbar lock ensures reliable, rock-solid lockup during use. A reversible tip-up pocket clip and oversized lanyard hole add flexible, user-friendly carry options.

This custom-dyed Yellowjacket configuration keeps the Mini Bugout’s hallmark traits—ultralight carry, compact size, and everyday practicality—while injecting a burst of custom color that sets it apart from any standard model. It’s tough, eye-catching, and built for the kind of daily use that demands reliability without the extra weight.
