Which Benchmade Bugout is the Best? | Buyers Guide

[@johnagen3688]

Great video!! Love the bugouts!

[@Scientist_Salarian]

I love how light the Bugout is with that glass-thermo composite. My EDC already has a Shield 9 + spare mag, flashlight, phone, wallet keys, AirPods, Pom OC spray, and dog treats. It’s really nice to have an ultra lightweight knife that won’t strain my belt even more, without sacrificing build quality.

[@neillevy4087]

Love your reasoning

[@REDVETTExxx]

Holy hell no way im carrying all that everyday.. oh wait.. i carry my Ruger lc9.. phone… emerson hammerhead, so not that far off lol. Ok lets make a badass man purse! Not a fanny pack!!😂

[@richardkev3077]

The Bugout in my pocket is the best Bugout in the world.

[@allaboutroofing2]

I beg to differ. Mine was previously owned by Jon Voight...The actor not the dentist.

[@michaelfuxeklint4909]

If they'd put in a backspacer from the beginning it'd be great for the balance in the knife. I couldn't stand my BK2 until then, WITH, the Bugout is a great knife, the Ranger green is in danger 😏😏👍👍

Bugout CF-Elite or Spyderco Para 3 Lightweight?

[@neillevy4087]

Both great Cf elite is a more traditional shape blade. My choice But spyderco does have better blade steel options so if you really into blade steel then go with spyderco My opinion, the cf elite is the best edc knife ever made. I carry it over my CRK Sebenza Just a personal opinion

[@LuckyLuch11]

@@neillevy4087 I ended up ordering pm2 and para 3 lightweight and returned the lightweight since the pm2 fit my hand better. Then ended up changing the scales and clip 🥴

[@neillevy4087]

Pm2 is a cliche for good reason, terrific knife I think the cf elite bugout is so appealing to me because it’s so light and unnoticeable in my pocket that i know i’ll always carry it every day, no matter what I’m wearing or doing It took me buying 12 knives to figure out what was important to me Different strokes for folks Enjoy your pm2!

i got a m4 and aftermarket aluminum scales and ill never get rid of it

Must be a slow knife news day.

[@trevorthomas1030]

I always wanted an orange aluminum handled Benchmade 940 Osborne with an Orange blade like they have on their hunting knife collection.

[@firestarter8202]

The Bugout is a light duty hikers knife. A full-size Bugout is pointless as it doesn’t have the structural integrity necessary for that size of knife. However, the Mini-Bugout is perfect for backpackers like myself. Less than 2 ounces is the goal.

[@wyatttuff9945]

I have both and if you throw some flytanium and the full size it feels way tougher and is still incredibly light

[@firestarter8202]

@@wyatttuff9945 Sure enough. But I am not a real collector. I have about 20 or so. For backpacking the mini bug out is fine but even the miniature Swiss Army knife is somewhat better cause I find myself using the scissors and toothpick, sometimes the tweezers (tics) more than the blade. But I also carry a silky pocket boy folding saw, lol. Hence “firestarter.“

[@jeddediajohnson9179]

For me the bugout is a great edc knife. I have the aluminum handle one with the M390 blade and its a solid little piece. Especially when I ground in a nee 18 degree angle with a polished edge. I have been using it as work and its a good example to show people how good my sharpening services can be.

[@Wiisher]

Remember they won't say anything bad even if it's true for something they sell 😂 but I love bugouts

[@saltytomato3018]

wish they would make a mesa red version in the full size, or just take the cerakote off some of the other color. Cerakote is a big L, not food safe, and wears easily.

[@ChrisBuckley-e8t]

Love knifes

[@JasonBrossa]

The bugout is a very nice well made knife the only problem is they called it a bugout. If I bugout I'm not grabbing the bugout lol

[@jonirwin7316]

Crazy price for this plastic knife with breaking spring issues. Hard pass.

[@SkylarRace]

The springs really only break when the knife is used as a fidget toy constantly slamming it open and closed thousands of times. Which for a normal user reflects many decades of use. In any case it's covered under the lifetime warranty. And with their lifesharp service when you send the knife to Benchmade for repair or sharpening they clean and inspect the knife, replace worn parts, lubricate, and sharpen back to new at no cost.

[@juanjuarez9360]

None

[@Piankishaw]

To dang small. Never want minis. Recon 1 is minimal edc size with great ergonomics, material, lock, 4" clip point for $100 new. Unbeatable for cost.

[@galacticcaveman4045]

not everyone wants to carry around a folding sword in their pocket as an EDC.

[@allaboutroofing2]

3.5 max blade length while concealed in my state even with a ccw. While im not a stickler for obeying all stupid laws, I also don't want the drama at this point when it could cause an issue over an extra half inch. I also have memories of the most outlandish marketing ever by cold steel when they launched and for that reason I can't take them seriously. I'd courage anyone unfamiliar to search KZbin for old cold steel adverts.

The best bug out is a shootout
