Benchmade, a very well-known US-based knife manufacturer, offers a huge number of products that all make for a great pocket knife. From fixed blades, to automatics, to their signature AXIS-lock manuals, Benchmade’s growing list of options continues to impress. Us at SRKT agree that Benchmade offers one of the largest number of solid everyday carry pocket knives. If you find yourself using your blade multiple times throughout the day, and don’t have a Benchmade yet, you should certainly try one out, as they make a model for everybody.

Released in 2017, the Bugout has made waves in the everday carry pocket knife industry. When released, the knife community was shocked by the mixture of tacticallity, simplicity, and weightlessness behind the Bugout. Many knives have hit the market trying to model the classic Bugout by the US-based company, but the Bugout remains near the top of the Mount Rushmore of EDC knives. Incredibly lightweight but featuring high-grade materials to get nearly any job done, the Bugout is a knife everybody should own. If you don’t already, the Benchmade Bugout comes in a large number of handle/blade color combos and materials.

This upgraded 535-09 model comes with an ash grey aluminum 6061-T6 aircraft aluminum bolster, mixed with a Redstone Richlite handle, giving it a smooth feel and an incredible look. The drop point blade is made with CPM-S90V and is polished satin. The dual thumb studs and backspacer are anodized orange, while the hardware and pocket clip are all satin. These look amazing and are up to the task just as much as any other Bugout model. USA made.
