What’s inside the Benchmade Bailout

[@susanjavier2008]

I took my blue Bugout apart and dyed the scales a darker blue and Benchmade knew I took it apart and they sharpend and had a spa treatment , it didn't void my warranty and got a extra pocket clip

[@zachstuff]

Very nice!

[@user-wr6wo6vr8r]

Susan Javier they didn’t care that you dyed it? I want to dye mine but thought maybe that would void the warranty

[@susanjavier2008]

@@user-wr6wo6vr8rabsolutely not, I didn't care for the stock blue and dyed it to a navy blue, so much nicer and Benchmade had no problems with it, Im sure you won't have to worry about it being void , I did it

[@user-wr6wo6vr8r]

Susan Javier how did you dye yours? Regular rit dye or the synthetic one?

[@susanjavier2008]

@@user-wr6wo6vr8r either one works, I've used both types of rit dyes for my other scales and it worked fine for me , other people say synthetic is better but I don't agree

[@oldfool2635]

Enjoyed this one, you kept my attention. I like videos that explain the mechanics of a knife. Cool beans! Thank you, Furbs

[@SteveKluver]

Thanks for the look on the inside of this one, Zach. Very nice. Top quality manufacturing there, for sure! : - )

[@zachstuff]

Good stuff Steve!

[@TheKnifeBeater]

I honestly thought it was gonna fit and it kinda does. I wonder if the entire AXIS lock assembly from the Bugout would fit the Bailout, but that's opening up a whole new can of worms. Thanks for the video, good stuff.

[@zachstuff]

Fun times trying for sure! Thanks for watching and supporting!

[@rekozma]

Real life test I would like to see yu do with the bailout is opening a can of soup. The mini grip can do it no problem but it does seem to need a little attention to the blade after about 4 cans. I would also like to see you not break the bailout but run tests on it that we would use the bailout for on the daily. Thanks for doing this so others don't have to. I myself have no problems taking any of my Benchmades apart. Benchmades are super solid and the company is really reasonable when it comes to there products. As for the bugout blade in the bailout scales. I would have been all for it in tell I did a little soul searching. Now I don't think I would buy a bailout if it wasn't a tanto. Go figure I hate tantos but really liking it on the bailout. I would be super happy if they did a spanto on it. In fact I would buy one twice. One in each blade style.

[@rodneypearson6986]

I've gotta get one now !! Thanks for the look

[@zachstuff]

You’re Welcome! They are nice!

[@chris-ci8qc]

my current edc is a real steel sea eagle, I pre ordered one of these and cant wait to get it. the sea eagle is a great edc by the way.

[@leviathan7865]

I ordered flytanium scales for my bugout i thought it "voids" the warranty but they will still sharpen it? I dont think i would buy a bailout i love my bugout but for hard use i have a cold steel recon 1 tanto in s35vn i do wonder though if you can put the pommel on the bugout

[@marshalllaw123]

I'm betting they would, but I'd probably put the stock scales back on 1st just to be on the safe side.

[@bigbadbri08]

Does the pommel open a beer? If not that would be a cool after market. Also I would definitely prefer some different blade choices

[@gnomersy1087]

For testing the pommel I'd do hammering tests say a finishing nail and a moderate sized nail into wood and drywall. Maybe snapping off the end of a screw by striking it with the pommel from the side. Glass breaking. Breaking the blade I mean throwing the knife repeatedly is a good way to jack it up, cutting steel wire or aluminum panels, also unscrewing something with a knife point is a good way to break it.

[@ryanpearson3337]

I got to get a bailout. I love the bug out and the bailout looks very close.

[@reinenruud390]

Will the Tanto blade fit the Bugout frame?

[@zachstuff]

Doing that test now!

[@axtra92]

0:52 really? You cant take apart your knife? Or what do you mean?

[@zachstuff]

The official policy is taking apart a Benchmade knife will void your life sharp warranty. They have been so much better lately with this, but is still on the books.

[@axtra92]

Zach’s Stuff but when my omega springs broke they sent new ones for free (warranty) to me and told me how i would change them even told me to use Loctite on the pivot screw.. they never said anything about void warranty.

[@zachstuff]

@@axtra92 Perfect!

[@DaveM-34ot]

Pretty late to the game here, but can the pommel be replaced with a barrel spacer so there is deep carry with nothing showing but the clip.

[@zachstuff]

The spots are drilled in a circle, but you can get a backspacer that deletes the pommel from Rock Scale Design!

[@DaveM-34ot]

@@zachstuff Wow, thanks for the reply and info!

[@zachstuff]

You’re Welcome!

[@liamjack5944]

what disassembly mat do you use?

[@zachstuff]

It’s an electronics mat I purchased from amazon. Gray color is the one i use.

[@ethane421]

You should do an edge retention test on the 3v blade

[@Iamthedudeman00]

THanks a lot for the video man it is very helpful for the purchase !

[@RonSpilker]

This is what I asked about on your other video doing the swap in the other direction. Downer that it doesn't work well. BM could have a nice accessory market if they offered parts for sale.

[@zachstuff]

Very good idea Ron! Offering parts/color options would be nice. Guess they kinda have it on a few models in the custom knife builder. But more options is always better!

[@RonSpilker]

@@zachstuff 3rd parties make some parts already. They're just losing money by not doing it.

[@user-wr6wo6vr8r]

They don’t really care about disassembly about their knives, I’ve told them I’ve taken them apart and they don’t care and they’ve even sent me a whole set of body screws to replace myself

[@user-wr6wo6vr8r]

Semper Skeptical you made your own omega spring? How did that workout for you

[@BigRedEDC]

So close! I was hoping it would work! Thanks for sharing the experiment brother!

[@cruzrodriguez1003]

I feel like bm did the blade shape slightly different on purpose so people cant switch them.

[@darinevans7011]

Will bugout scales fit the bailout blade?

[@zachstuff]

No too small and the knife sticks out the end.

[@tannergrosz5245]

Shave some aluminum with the bailout if you can get ahold of a solid chunk

[@zachstuff]

A good test. See what I can find. Thanks!

[@Iamthedudeman00]

By the way is there any coating on the back of the bail out tang?

[@SgtKong]

Big brown bear did a k390 demo. Stabbed a paving Stone and picked it up. A tanto should do that no issue... Maybe😀 Full Send

[@zachstuff]

Ahh snap challenge time ehh??!!

[@SgtKong]

A lil "just that tip" action 😁🇺🇸🍆🦅🐻

[@zachstuff]

🤙🏼🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@SgtKong]

Might have been 4V

[@daftesedcreviewsundmehr5890]

Really love the axislocks and blades of benchmade, but i would change the handlescales because they feel like cheap plastic.

[@randyf.9188]

You never know unless you try. I prefer the drop point.

[@TheFiendRacer]

Can u put a regular benchmade clip on these?

[@zachstuff]

Yes

[@Iamthedudeman00]

The difference in the pivot hole of the two blades might be result of the different coating ...

[@rickkerans8485]

The bailout looks a little different. Obviously it is because the bugout blade is hitting metal. Very interesting video. Would have been great if you could swap them. Thanks for showing the takedown of the bailout. Really think it will be a good knife.

[@stanislavvartanyan9430]

Did you try the other way around? Fitting Bailout blade into Bugout frame?

[@zachstuff]

I did and it sticks out a bit!

[@ihn]

T10 with the pivot? All my BM‘s have T8 there, Even the ADAMAS ones.

[@harveynoshoe8085]

Whatever happened to the Bailout field testing?

[@zachstuff]

Wrapping up! Sent one to another channel first!

[@lovescamaros1]

i want and need a set of purple g10 scales for my bailout!!!

[@zachstuff]

The purple Rogue Bladeworks has in G10 is so awesome! I have them on my Bugout!

[@kevinAuman1]

I am really considering buying one of these bailouts and just regrinding the blade into a traditional clip point rather than that ugly tanto lol

[@ilovemusicsg]

Great video, too bad the blade doesn’t fit. Did you try the tanto in the 535? For the test: try prying something with the pummel, start with a paint can and work your way up to nails! Cheers!

[@zachstuff]

Thanks Morgan! Got that answered and just posted the video. Thank you for the feedback about the Bailout testing! Will be adding that to the list.

[@ilovemusicsg]

I saw that video and that’s a shame! They should of made it interchangeable

[@zachstuff]

How much fun that would have been!

[@kevink.2719]

Great video 👍

Thanks Kevin!

[@ahmed.t805]

excited for the giveaway

[@rustyknifelover4463]

I think it would work.

[@ThomasConnolly]

Zach, you did the opposite of what I wanted to see!!!! I wanted to see if the Tanto 3V blade of the Benchmade Bailout fitted/worked with the handle scales from the Benchmade Bugout!!!! Because I really like the Tanto blade of the Bailout but hate its handle with that annoying tactical hump that's supposed to prevent your hand from slipping up onto the blade while your stabbing something/someone. I wanted to see the Tanto 3V blade with the Bugout handle scales, to see if those Bugout scales actually ended up lining up flush/even with the spine of that Tanto blade!!! Can you please make another video for me showing if/how the Tanto 3V blade works with the Bugout scales? It would be really appreciated!!!!

[@zachstuff]

Got your questions answered and posting the video now! Thanks Thomas!

[@brandonroberts6815]

Testing ideas: Light prying with blade is paint can opening or nail pulling. Pommel strikes on glass bottle, strikes on nail to drive nail?

[@deadpoollee9497]

Does the pommal for the bailout fit the bugout????

[@Iamthedudeman00]

You can try to batton it though a log to break it...

[@michaeljnewton]

Hmm. I still think I’d rather go for another bugout over this one tbh.

[@ReX-Ray]

It will work

[@ReX-Ray]

I was wrong

[@zachstuff]

Was hoping for this too!

[@JoshWallace]

I think it'll fit.

[@Iamthedudeman00]

I think the other blade will fit.

[@Dont_Poke_The_Bear]

Wish they would hurry up and drop these already....

[@Iamthedudeman00]

Maybe you can break it by prying a log open? The blade should be pretty tough....

[@readyme]

I think the tanto blade profile was a big fail for BM.

[@zachstuff]

Yeah people usually love them or dislike them greatly.

[@KB-kw8ni]

Umm no

[@woofman4796]

call me dumb, but why no skeletonized metal liner ?? my spyderco paramilitary has a metal internal frame,, doesn't that make my knife stronger than benchmade's plastic only handle

[@zachstuff]

Would be a good upgrade and make it tougher! Guessing this was for weight reduction??

[@woofman4796]

@@zachstuff i figured,, the grizzly ridge and nakamura both have metal liners

[@zachstuff]

Agreed!

[@evictioncarpentry2628]

Open aluminum coffee cans/soup cans. Dig a hole in some dirt/rocks. Hammer some nails/glass w/pommel. Cut seatbelts simulating rescuing ppl from vehicles. (glass and seatbelts could be filmed at a junkyard) I'm not sure what kind of jam you'd get in an AR to pry it out with a knife like the promo vid... But maybe try recreating that lol.

[@Tankman333]

if it takes that long to assemble a bugout then my guess is going to be corrosion (just messin with ya)

[@zachstuff]

Nice! Thanks

[@GregMilner]

Testing Idea: Will the pommel break car glass?

Not easily. The newer aluminum handled ones have a glass breaker tip.

[@sheltermonkey6065]

Since 1975, disassembling a product does not void a product's warranty in the US. Not sure where you got that idea. See the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act.

[@wookie9581]

Shelter Monkey that’s not true maybe you should read the act again....

[@sheltermonkey6065]

@@wookie9581 Yes, it is true. From the FTC website: Understanding the Magnuson-Moss Warranty Act ---------- "Tie-In Sales" Provisions ---------- Generally, tie-in sales provisions aren’t allowed. These are provisions that state or imply that a consumer must buy or use an item or service from a particular company to keep their warranty coverage. Here are some examples of PROHIBITED tie-in sales provisions. “To keep your new Plenum Brand Vacuum Cleaner warranty in effect, you must use genuine Plenum Brand Filter Bags. Failure to have scheduled maintenance performed, at your expense, by the Great American Maintenance Company, Inc., voids this warranty.” “This limited warranty shall not apply if the warranty seal has been broken, removed, erased, defaced, altered, or is otherwise illegible,” where a device cannot be repaired without such effects.

So really nothing new here but the blade shape. Which I prefer big time but come on, make this thing mans size already. This is a girls knife at best. And yes I have the bugout and hate it. Give us a 3.5 inch blade or go home.
