[@EDCandLace]

Makes me happy to see you guys posting consistently again and bird being back in good health! Keep the smiles going you two 🥰💕

[@AlexsKnivesSuch]

Their channel was the main channel I watched in the summer of 2014 or 2015. These two are awesome people. Great videos. Always looking forward to their videos

[@zacharybarnes6731]

love all your videos guys stay healthy stay amazing keep putting amazing videos out and keep on carrying

[@BirdShotIV]

Thank you 🙏

[@paullambert4445]

The Bugouts used to be just a bit above $100.00. I should have bought one then. Now they are out of the question. I’ll stick with my Mini Griptilion sheep’s foot. Love that knife. 🎸🔪

[@sreilly688]

Went back to the video when you swapped out for the flytanium scales. The titanium was a blue bugout from Advance knife bro. Copper was a mini orange bugout.

[@glenngoins3100]

Frankie you did a good job on that table.!! Very nice! And you too bird

[@draleigh8881]

Dude! I was trying to think last video who bird looks like, and I just remembered! Pete Holmes! hahah literal doppelganger!

[@rogeredwards9156]

Excellent content. Thanks

[@Dirt-knees]

You need to add this Bugout to your collection ….. A Bass Pro Shops and Cabela's Exclusive! The Benchmade® Bugout™ 535OR-2103… The blade is S30V with a BLAZE ORANGE Cerakote finish… Dark gray Grivory® grip panels

[@steveblindlost9424]

Your backyard videos are the best.

[@BirdShotIV]

thanks 😊

[@ricksousa3932]

Frankie I like the purple bug.

[@JDRod88]

First, it is so great that you are back. You were definitely missed. Second, you are one of the only knife centric channels that doesn't shit all over Benchmade. I'm not a symp for BM, but I also don't think they are the devil's tools as some would make them out to be. It's good to see someone on YT talk about these knives in reasonable tone.

[@EDCandLace]

Zach's stuff enters chat lol.... Dude is the ultimate benchmade lover. The people that hate Benchmade are the ones that pay full price. Find a smaller dealer and ask them to work with you, I have never paid more than 20% under MAP for BM and in some cases 30% under MAP. When you buy them at those prices they are right in line with what most USA made premium knife brands charge. It's MAP that makes people freak but there is absolutely not a reason to ever pay MAP on BM.

[@JDRod88]

@@EDCandLace I just find it funny that the folks complaining about BM usually have a drawer full of Spyderco's, which are in some way, worse than BM. I have both, and enjoy them both. I typically buy from the secondary, so I'll let others take the depreciation hit when they drive them off the lot.

[@BirdShotIV]

Thanks! Honestly we are knife lovers of all kinds. They are great knives and have so many options. -Frankie

[@didgemonkey]

Of all the ones you showed, I like the Shot Show Bailout... Of the Bugouts, I like the copper one...

[@paullambert4445]

Back yards are always good! That Bugout without the thumb stud is also missing a screw by the blade. 🎸🔪

[@croakthedj]

Frankie you are right that is terracotta. I could argue that is could be a Cinnabar or to be exact a Roof Terracotta. but that is splitting hairs

[@RobBernhard]

I love my Bugout and the mini Bugout. I do wish they were less expensive because then more people I know could get one (and I could afford to gift one). I think they're unintentionally encouraging clones and counterfeits by not offering a lower cost model. That said, the used market is pretty healthy so you can get one for $100 or less but only a small subset of buyers are going to look there.

[@chaddixson8398]

At one time there were 16 production bugouts, I had all 16, now I have 1. Lol

[@kathleensmith370]

you have a big collection- i dont own even one

[@TheBDubbs3]

CTS 204p is the steel you’re trying to remember (thats like 20cv and M390).

[@DocDazzler]

“The rent is too damn high!” I love many Benchmade knives. The Bugout, Bailout, Shootout and Taggedout are all great. I’m really into the carbon fiber with S90v series of Benchmade. I did break down and get a Narrows (not black), but not for the full price. It was still ridiculously expensive, but I love that thing. I really want the mini version too, but I won’t pay full price. My favorite was the bronze aluminum with the black stones washed blade, but of the others, the purple mini looked best to me.

[@BirdShotIV]

You have good taste!

[@alpine1600s]

You guys sold one of your first productions to the Advanced Knife Bro.

[@BirdShotIV]

I thought we got it from him? It was the tested one.

Ms. Frankie, just out of curiosity...as a heart surgeon, do they allow you to use any of your carry edc knives for surgery on your patients? 😂

[@BirdShotIV]

lol you would not want me to do surgery on you since I’m not a doctor, but sure I could use any edc knife since I would not be losing any medical license 🫣🤔 -Frankie

I can send you guys a thumbstud I got a extra black one edit: I'm back yes they will send you a thumbstud but black only. I know because I tried to get green one because mine got messed up and they sent the black🤷🏼

[@cintage]

The Bugout is a really good knife, it just has the problem of being a Benchmade and thus being part of their crazy price policies. Reduce the Bugout prices by 30% and the premium M390 version by 40% and I would recommend them anytime, because it IS a great knife. I just feel like ripped off when thinking about buying a Benchmade. Which is a shame, because these knives are so good that more people should enjoy them.

[@jocemarine6247]

Just one word : Overpriced For me a basic Bugout with ultra cheap scales around 200.00 it's insane. There is so much better choices

[@Dirt-knees]

The basic Bugout is not $200….. which Chinese knife would you recommend ?

[@cintage]

@@Dirt-knees Several.

[@timtitus2532]

Second or first? I own the green scale version with the gold thumb studs like yours. Bought my wife a limited edition version with the pinkish scales. She's been carrying it in her purse every day since I gave it to her and I think she's used it 2 times in like a year 🙄 I think you are trying to remember 204 something or other.

Benchmade isn’t innovating; they are just changing the colors of the handles…it’s the same shit…

[@Phil-S8]

So they're just like Spyderco now? 😂

[@quickcuts3000]

the dude in 90's wrap sunglasses demands innovation!

[@TheBDubbs3]

Not really true, look at their catalog. And the Bugout is a best seller for them. Not like they’re gonna stop making it yet.

[@DeffoZappo]

​@@Phil-S8one of these companies has more steel options, higher tolerances, better heat treatment, more durability and artist collabs.

[@cavedog1279]

I would have kept my stormtrooper bugout because it was a fantastic knife, but I absolutely despise how close the thumb studs are to the scales. Ruined the knife for me unfortunately :/

[@marklawrence855]

Have you seen the video when a man snaps the bugout in half with his hands ?

[@charlesard8639]

I think the bugout was good for its time. It's played out and overpriced. There are better knives now for less than half the price.

[@kymindalehman4300]

Let’s trade a Walmart fake bug out for a real bug out? I have a new in package for you guys ?
