The Benchmade Bugout Pocketknife: The Full Nick Shabazz Review

Today, we're going to review a very lightweight knife, with a surprisingly hefty pricetag, the Benchmade Bugout.

[@mrmemyselfandi9609]

I was skeptical about this knife....but I popped on it in a moment of weakness thinking that worst case scenario I would return it. I actually thought I would have serious buyers remorse but I was STUNNED to find out that I LOVE THIS KNIFE! LOOOOVE IT! And I have spidercos, kershaws, Sog and the rest as well. This bugout carries deep and you forget you're carrying it. Amazing steel...the blade is legit...sharp...stays sharp...and it's perfect for an EDC. I've carried it everyday since and I've fallen in love with it. The others are just more bulky when you carry them. Sometimes I can't even get my hands in my pocket without scraping the spydercos especially. This experience is JUST like when I spent 65 bucks on the new Olight S1R baton II. Expensive, but worth EVERY damn penny. LOVE that thing too...no regrets. Now I have my perfect EDC knife and flashlight. Can't get any better.

[@sowelu9247]

Really like your reviews. Thanks for putting all the time in.

[@Eldofarmboy]

Actually the Bugout is a really tough knife. I pounded one into oblivion as a call out to Wranglerstar almost a year ago. Thing was unharmed after spine whacking, batoning, cross batoning, twisting sideways, and tip testing. I was stunned

[@gpjadams2]

Its almost humorous how much he hates this knife. But I get it, if a guy doesn't like the feel of a knife, it is what it is.

[@kerryrwac]

Benchmade's pricing bugs me so i'm out .

[@ogenmatic]

kerryrwac When I saw the price, my eyes bugged out!

[@anthonyb2990]

All Benchmade knives are usually over 90 bucks and this one is 115, not a big difference.

[@Thezedword12]

At about $90 I'd be all over it, but with how popular it is, i doubt it

[@misterbaker9728]

Zed Word no g10 unless you spend 170. So basically it’s 100 for a plastic handle

[@willy7716]

​@Wolfpack3D A commendable effort on the spelling of warranty.

[@scottking2340]

I got mine from trades (plus about $25) and I am definitely NOT regretting my decision. I have no issues with mine and I’m sorry Nick that yours didn’t meet their specs. It’s a fantastic cutter and a joy to carry. Me personally, I’d rather carry a Benchmade over any other knife. The little quarks everyone gripes about with Benchmade are things I’ve never experienced. Thanks for the video and please continue to keep us informed!

lol sounds like you have buyers remorse, also it’s pretty ignorant to say you’d carry a Benchmade over ANY other knife

[@Crushenator500]

Got one of these in the mail yesterday. It's my first Benchmade and I LOVE it. The axis lock is so fun to use, the overall package is tiny compared to my Spydercos, and the blade is perfection. No QC issues with my example either. A+ gem in my book, and fits right in with my PM2 and Sage 2.

[@teatowel11]

Still the best review of this knife I've seen. I bought one after watching your review and it's still my favourite knife.

[@msongy4947]

Handled one the other day. Great blade. Love the axis lock and deep carry small pocket clip. Handle and short liner leaves a lot to be desired. I know to improve those features you would add weight, which is one of its big selling points, but I'd trade a little weight for durability. As usual great review. So yea, what you said.

[@bs2096]

The Bugout will down in history as a Classic. I love the Bugout.

[@cupcakebunnyprod]

Classic overpriced benchmade yeah

[@stoutdog56]

I don't think of the Bugout as being overpriced. It's definitely a classic up there with the Griptillian and 940.

[@robbiestewart8179]

U are paying extra for the lifetime warranty pretty good investment I think.

[@johnwallace6763]

Wow. This was a greatly informative review. It put the knife in perspective for me. Great job !

[@finns23653]

This knife is being presented as a backpacking knife. Backpackers often become ounce counters because weight in long term trips can become difficult to deal with. This knife will appeal to them because of the low weight.

[@SucculentDoorbell]

I know you've reviewed the 940-1, but can u review the 940-2 next? It'd be great

[@Adam-rw4xk]

Despite the name I'd say it's more of backpacker's knife than for bugging out. That bright blue color is a alternative to blaze orange for easy finding if dropped in the woods. I didn't think much of it until the store I work in got it in and handling it changed my mind, at the price I think its very fair.

[@alienresearchlab]

The Bugout has become my #1 go to. Light and sharp. A little pricey but worth it.

[@AdvancedKnifeBro]

Great review.... I also. The Delica isn't a bad alternative if you want to save a bit of dough either. Kepp on keeping on!

[@viniciuseleo]

Love this knife! It's much sturdier than people give credit for! And, more important, the dimensions and weight make it much more probable that you're carrying it with you at all times, and as our spiritual guide Shabazz says: "the best knife is the one that you're carrying!".

[@stoutdog56]

I resisted buying this knife for almost 2 years. Now that I own it, I find it an exceptional design and build. This is a perfect first knife. Sure it would be nicer if it was priced under $100 but I don't find the price outrageous. If you were to own just one knife, I don't think you would regret your decision.. I think it's a classic just like the 940 and Griptillian.

I found one of these laying in a parking lot I thought it was a cheap knife until I Googled it never heard of benchmade till then

[@undeathredemption]

Managed to pick one up with $45 off. for that price, it's a surprisingly good knife. Just... buy in person. the centering and action on the ones I handled were all over the place. I think I managed to find the single gem that dropped free, was centered, and had a decent grind

[@GoldplatedDeagle]

If it was around $80 I would of bought one instantly.

[@GoldplatedDeagle]

the spyderco delica 4 is around $60. The benchmade is made in the USA and has a better steel. I say somewhere around $80 is fair.

[@NWGR]

Agreed. $60 is more than fair for this blade. If I'm spending $80 on a blade, it'll be a manix 2.

[@gmg921]

other countries dont have labor laws like the U.S. does that is why our goods cost more to similar quality products.

[@dillo1594]

Hey I think the price is right, it's one of the best looking knives I've ever seen before

[@UrbanWoodsman87]

AS Nick has mentioned in a few of his other videos, Benchmade has an outstanding warranty and great customer service, you would be a fool to not factor that into the cost... hard to say that about many of your knives imported from overseas!!!!

[@DobermansRock]

A high point is how friendly they are to recycle after a camping trip. I have problems at those dumpsters sometimes. Especially with tents and sleeping bags. So to have a knife that's so easy to recycle after we use it is a nice bonus.

[@rhythmtreble7311]

I reaally like that deep ocean blue color, Not usually a fan of wackier colors but I like this.

[@michaeljenks6259]

Just picked one of these up today. Went with a half serrated blade. Was looking for an EDC, nothing overbuilt. Went with the lightweight and this review back up my initial guy reaction. This is replacing another Benchmade knife, the Axis system is great.

[@PapaYosif]

do keep in mind the axis lock springs break very often. this is my first and only high end expensive knive and that bothered me for the longest time. just a couple of weeks ago i had the courage to fix it after pretty much keeping it in the back of my drawer trying to forget i payed a shit ton for it to break the first week i got it.

[@chrish5224]

Compared the bugout to the mini grip yesterday. For my XL glove sized hands, the mini grip only gets a full three finger grip. The bugout is slightly longer, allowing a full four finger grip and even just slightly a little more. Its perfect for edc with its light weight and slimness. I just haven't made up my mind between the full size griptilian or the bugout. I like the sturdier feel of the griptilian, like I can really abuse it and it will hold its own. If I could make a edc knife, it would be a bugout, with a sheepfoot blade. They will probably come out with that design after I make a decision and buy a regular bugout. Price should be $89-99 on the bugout imo!

[@mattfinish2196]

Thanks for reviewing this knife. I was wondering about this one after seeing it on Blade HQ.

[@shaunbryan3421]

I picked up the knifecenter exclusive battle washed bug out a few months ago. It came with a medium-grit edge but with and absolute perfect Apex. Bottom line is if you're looking to carry a pocket knife that you forget that you're carrying this is the one.

[@BadP0tat0]

I got one and I love it. Now my question, why would I now buy 940? Should I buy it either way (not for collecting purposes) having already workhorses like PM2 or Kershaw Launch 3?

[@artvandalay6161]

Nice review as always Nick. I bought the Bugout soon after release; returned it a few days later. Really like the steel and blade shape, so any recommendations on US made knife with similar blade characteristics for under $130 USD??

[@cadens8530]

Well, my first go would be the CIVIVI elementum. It’s a true gem. But it’s not USA made. If you’re saying you want a USA made knife for quality reasons, then that’s not a real reason becuase you’ll find the CIVIVI and WE have some of the best quality control out there in production knives. If you looking for USA made just to support USA companies, then the spyderco shaman and para 3 lightweight are comparable

[@ikeschrager9903]

My first kinda expensive knife I love how light it is I barley notice it it still feels pretty solid compared to what people say and also I love all the after market parts you can get eventually I’m gonna take mine apart and void that warranty to make a gorgeous custom bugout

[@01cthompson]

Just found your channel. Good review. I'm guessing this knife will get cheaper, or at least will get a decent sale price, as the year winds down.

[@Jack958]

It has not been out for 13 years?

[@gmoney5947]

If it's truly a bugout bag, this is a secondary knife. You gotta have a fixed blade, I would recommend a bark river gunny scandi. It's almost an 1/8" in width.

[@Miqte]

Generally I'm not into benchmade knives but despite it's price this is a perfect EDC. I don't know why I care and why I feel disappointed... honestly I hoped You would appreciate it more and forget for one second it is a BM product. Thanks for the review Nick.

[@stevekennedy2337]

Hey Nick, what would you buy. A spyderco sage or a benchmade bugout? Thanks

[@jskrawz4611]

Damn.... Ya had me wanting this knife until you mentioned the price... WOW! I'll stick with my Native 5 and Manix 2...

[@frankiethefrog1752]

Those both cost about the same as the bugout and bugout mini currently. Some manix and natives run up to around $150-$160 depending on steel from what I’ve seen lately. Shits getting ridiculous.

[@19markz67]

Very helpful review. Great knife, but I crossed it off my list. Minimal knife I discovered and purchased this past summer is the Mercator K55K made by Otter in Germany. In production since 1867. I am curious about your thoughts on this knife. Enjoy your reviews. Thanks.

[@ericthorpe5670]

I was just looking at the k55k myself. I'm gonna pull the trigger because it's inexpensive enough to do so at any time, but it recently peaked my interest. Like any knife when I find out about it, I ran to youtube to see if Nick had a review. Alas, no.

[@ericschipper6526]

It occured to me that a digital caliper would be a nice addition for quick size comparisons.

[@theMeshtar]

I'm in the process of getting an above 100€ knife (higher quality, seeing as I was sort of a poor-man's-EDC kind of a guy before). I got a Chinese Bugout knockoff, just to see if it was a knife for me when it comes to the design and overall stuff (seeing I am in between the Bugout and Freek), and I didn't like it. After your reviews, I'm into Freek a lot more. Thanks, Nick, you're a godsend. Keep up the good work.

[@DossOutdoors]

If you watch this review and dislike the knife don't dislike the video. Two completely different things kids. Good stuff Nick. I am passing on the knife but good stuff as always.

[@Rusty_Shackleford1]

Bought a the Bugout with the green handles as my first Benchmade back in July of 2018. Carried it for a week or so at a time every other month until recently when BOTH axis lock springs broke in the same spot. Sending it in for service. Seems like a sketchy part to fail being their claim to fame locking mechanism.

[@DPIDDY69]

great review nick.

[@bradyoung3536]

Great review

[@Mikyate]

I'm still interested in getting one, especially if I have to send my Griptilian back to Benchmade (because I did something stupid with it) and it fits into the price range I tend to go for when I'm looking at knives that I'm going to carry. I also have a strong tendency to take apart my knives and and can put the axis lock on my griptilian back together with minimal struggle. That being said, I think this would fit nicely into an office-carry situation (clipped into the same pocket as say a smartphone, for instance) or just regular everyday use.

[@koga8100]

Screw that shit man, para 3 lw is better value and quality, in terms of steel, bd-1n is similar to the performance of s30v so

[@Cooldibs]

Anodized barrel spacers, thumb studs, and axis lock plus a premium steel makes this well worth the price!

[@AtafalWonder]

A funny thing I thought of when the Tagged Out and Redoubt came out, they kinda used your idea. They just kept the "out" part for the running theme instead of the "bug" part.

[@ajfam871]

It should named EDC or GripLight/thingrip (light griptilian) for its light weight super thin profile. When I think of Bugout i think heavy use and or versatility. I live this knive dont get me wrong but see it as more of edc role.

[@picassoboy52]

They named it what they wanted to name it

[@KillaZamii]

I'm going to get the bugout and replace the scales with flytanium scales. Might anodize them blue before I do so.

[@jacobmanalang8162]

i never liked how thick the handles on the griptilians were so the delica and endura always was perfection to me. handles were also too thick for my tastes on the cold steel voyager series. the 530 is a cool slim design also but im really liking this 535 bugout aesthetically. my manix 2lw doesnt have liners are all, the action is way harder to close, leaf shaped blade makes it pretty big in pocket so this 535 is really catching my eye....but i think when i do buy a benchmade im just going to go with the 940.

[@brianf9619]

This is a awesome edc knife , not a bugout knife . Yes , when I first got it I said to myself where did the $114.00 go , because it is soo light and sometimes you associate weight with being cheap or poorly made , but after a few days carrying it , I was like this knife is Frickin Awesome. And Nick hit it on the nose , this could be 1 of the best tools you ever use ," just use the right tool for the job ". So , if your into light weight edc and excellent slicers , you will love this knife too.

[@stoutdog56]

I agree with you and disagree with Plutonium. I wonder what Premium Chinese knife he is referring to because I'm not aware of it. I can't understand why so many think $114 is so outrageous. While I resisted getting mine for almost 2 years. Now I have it, its one of my favorites and I highly recommend it.

[@sagishimonovitz]

@NickShabazz , Would you recommend it as a fruit cutting knife in an orchard? Looking for California legal, thin blade, washable knife, one hand opening and closing for cutting apples, peaches, pomegranate, citrus in hand. Thinking of an opinel 8 Carbone blade and handle with a Para 3 LW one hand operation and a salt series blade or similar.

[@jacobclark8112]

I ordered mine a couple days ago and I can’t wait for it to come in the mail today!!! When it comes in I’ll edit this comment and tell my thoughts as well.

[@danielbrenton7365]

I bought a bugout to celebrate a new job I work in the trades but try not to abuse my knives so far after a couple months of use I've only had to lightly touch up the blade the grip feels great in the hand and the light weight is great I recognize it to everyone who asks me about knives

[@bluebirdpowers8069]

[@ericthompson3551]

I have the 530 and I know some knock it compared to 531 but I love the the fact that it weighs nothing and the blade employs and closes with the tiniest flick.

A good comparison would be the Benchmade 530. Both extremely thin and lightweight and similar length too.

I guess that's the overprice we have to pay for our personal favorite EDC blade size nowadays. Hopefully more companies get in this race ,light,thin carry great with a great 3 inch blade.

[@stoutdog56]

I just got mine after putting it off for 2 years and find it an exceptional knife. You have good taste and to get some knives, you have to pay the price. When I first heard about the Sedenza years ago, I thought it was incredibly too much for a knife. Years later I have one and 2 other CR knives.

[@klaxalk]

I knew what I was getting into. The knife is great. But I did not think that the spring will fail on me within 5 months. Maybe 6 years... And they are hard to come by in Europe. :-(

[@mountainhobo]

Having watched the disassembly video, I almost feel like I cheated since I know how this one will turn out.

[@tacticalcenter8658]

my question would be, how well would it survive a bug out bag emergency situation. is any channel willing to take it off the grid for a few days and try and use it as a primary knife (with whatever other knives and tools that you would also include in the bag, but try and use the bug out primarily if possible). what survival channels would do something like that? i wonder if prying would be better due to the extra flex. the flex may allow a certain level of better prying so not to snap the blade sooner, well within reason anyways. anyways, will you need tools or sharpening stones in a survival situation. how brittle is the steel. will it be better if the edge keeps sharp longer vs having to sharpen it, and how hard is it to sharpen on rocks (is that good enough for s30v)? will the pivot need to be adjusted. will an omega spring snap and will that effect my knife in the wild. i would assume most would just have this for camping or long backpacking trips, white water rafting, canoeing, all sorts of out doors stuff. rather than a survival bug out bag knife. or just super light weight EDC.

[@stoutdog56]

No doubt the name confounds so many. Bugout to me is an Emergency, short term situation where you have the essential gear you might need during that period. I don't care what a knife is called, but what kind of tool it is. This is a great lightweight, light use EDC knife. I would and do keep a fixed blade in my Emergency bag. The Bugout would already be in my trousers pocket.

[@maindave1]

Glad to hear u getting the rat 1 and 2 right. 😋

[@jamesharris1493]

I am sorry to burst your bubble but I bought a Rat 1 and it got out of alignment fast. I believe Mora knives are better.

[@ericmitchell1911]

Would you recommend the Benchmade Griptillian or the Spyderco Paramilitary 2. I was looking on Amazon, and noticed that both are about $120, and was wondering which you thought was better? I am leaning towards the PM2, but I was wondering if you thought the Grip had any advantages. Thanks, I love the videos!

[@gmg921]

i think the grip fells chunky in the had and plastic like, the PM2 is a great knife but is huge. If you want to spend a little for money I would 100% recommend looking at the 940-2. Either way you can go wrong with the PM@ or the 940-2

[@angusvanhalen2886]

Eric Mitchell I own 2 pm2's & 2 griptilians, & I gotta say I usually reach for the grips. It's way more comfortable in my hand, & just all around beefier imo. Love them both. However, as mentioned, save a little more and pick up a BM 940. Best knife I own. And u cannot beat BM warranty

[@MrSabram07]

I just picked up a terminus XR g10 grips and a bar lock and it is a fine knife great fidget toy for $54

[@BC08]

I wish they would offer a carbon fiber scale version of this knife. It would keep it light and eliminate that flexibility. I handled one of these in the store, and those scales flexing makes it seem cheap.

[@cameronbottoms1118]

[@dylanscruggs909]

you sound like Italian Christopher Walken. Perfect review. You made my mind.

[@gmotionedc5412]

if you compare this price to a GEC, Case or lion steel traditional two handed folder which are about the same price or even more this modern folder has all the bells and whistles and improvements like stainless steel, axis lock, one handed open and close and super light weight. Yes I wish this was 70 bucks too but considering those old fashion folders sell for this price or more all day long and people scramble to buy them up instantly in five minutes or less this price of 115 is not as horrible as it may seem at first glance. This may not be a fantastic price but it’s not super way out of line either for what your getting compared to traditionals. That’s my take on it anyway.
