Benchmade 535 Bugout Folding Knife Gray Titanium SMKW Custom

The full-size Bugout takes on a refined, near-bulletproof feel in this SMKW Customs Crew edition, upgraded with solid gray titanium handles. These precision-milled scales replace the standard Grivory, adding rigidity, balance, and a smooth metallic hand feel that elevates the knife from an ultralight tool to a premium everyday companion. Titanium keeps the profile slim while adding a satisfying density, giving the knife a confident presence without making it cumbersome. Its clean gray finish delivers a modern, understated look that fits seamlessly in the field, the shop, or daily urban carry.

The 3.24-inch CPM-S30V drop-point blade provides dependable slicing and piercing performance, backed by strong edge retention and well-rounded toughness. The gray finish gives the blade a low-reflection, work-ready character that complements the titanium scales. With a total length of 7.46 inches, this full-size Bugout offers an ergonomic grip that fills the hand comfortably, making long cutting tasks easier and more controlled. The ambidextrous thumb studs make deployment quick and natural, while the AXIS-style crossbar lock ensures solid, repeatable lockup through daily tasks and unexpected jobs alike.

This titanium-handled configuration transforms the Bugout from a lightweight outdoorsman’s staple into a sleek, premium EDC with long-term durability baked into every surface. It’s a knife that looks sharp on day one and stays impressive after years of real use.
