Originally designed and built for outdoor adventurers who demand durability in a light, ergonomic, barely-there package, it’s also exactly what you’d want for the daily grind, too. It comes in a CPM-S30V drop-point blade to make maintenance a breeze. The Crater Blue Grivory® handle, reminiscent of the icy depths of the sea, is contrasted by the Flat Dark Earth Cerakote® blade finish.

MEET THE BUGOUT®

Designed with purpose and built to last, the Bugout sets a high bar for durability and performance matched only by our promise that it will be yours, for life.

HOW IT'S MADE

Laser-cut from sheets of high-grade steel, every Benchmade blade is ground, beveled, and finished with uncompromising precision. We mill and machine handles in-house to the most exacting specifications, and every knife is hand-assembled and sharpened by highly trained technicians bringing to bear over thirty years of manufacturing excellence in our state-of-the-art factory in Oregon City, Oregon.

USE & CARE

Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition:

All steel, regardless of price and grade, can eventually rust, so it’s important to keep your knife dry and lubricated. If spotting or rust occurs, semi-chrome metal polish will often take care of it.
Dishwashers can cause serious damage that is not covered under our warranty, so make sure to hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only, and dry thoroughly.
Remember, knives are cutting tools, and you should never use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch, unless the knife is designed explicitly for those purposes.
If you choose to sharpen your blade yourself, avoid grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery.
Handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may require occasional adjustment using T6 & T10 Torx drivers. We recommend applying a small dab of releasable thread-locker as needed.
