2 years late to the party but I will be ordering mine this weekend for my birthday.
Just ordered on XD
4 years late I guess 😆 mine should come in the next couple days
2 grown men telling me how to cut an apple
bekells TH-cam at its finest
100k+ of viewers enjoyed that
With a $200 knife at that
Totally getting one.
The Late Boy Scout I saw your review
I don't know if I should get one, the pocket knife to end all pocket knives
So this is a HANS on situation huh? ... I'll go now
anotherrandomtexan25 ba dum ts
I love the information you provide and the editing is gold please keep up the great work!
Finally got mine a few days ago and I'm in love with this knife.
4 years late but I gotta say that I love it
Apple seeds actually do hurt you - in extreme doses though. Apple seeds contain cyanide. A 150 lb man would have to eat the seeds of about 20 apples to die from cyanide poisoning... so there's that.
Noteful exactly what I was thinking
Fake
@@Marcosmatamoros10 googles free figure it out for yourself
I feel like this would be Ben’s ideal knife because he is always leaning towards small lightweight knives. I tend to lean towards the bigger blades my self but, this would be really good for him since he could use it for all the random things people use their knives for as well as a self defense tool. I say that because I believe that Ben has mentioned that being an aspect of a knife that he wants from previous episodes.
bet nutnfancy is stoked.
Andrew Green i was thinking the same thing
Andrew Green He hasn't traditionally been super stoked with benchmade. I think you're right though!
Andrew Green ROTFLMAO he totally will dig this
You mispronounced "M390"
Not enough jimping though...
Oh man, the last thing I need is another knife....but this! 😆 Very nice blade!
Tell Honz to step up the quality control😂. Great vid!
Best knife I've ever owned!!
Fantastic knife at a fantastic price. I haven't purchased a Benchmade knife in quite awhile because of price, quality and plain boring. I picked this up yesterday and I'm extremely impressed. Well done Benchmade.
Would love to see the new 535 in a smoky gray, translucent handle scale and black anodized thumb stud. Great vid as always. Hugely jealous of that limited blade show run 707.
My grand pappy use to cut some of his apple with his pocket knife and give it to me 😢 really brought back a memory and I’m buying one of these to do the same thing with my daughter.
I'm flipping this 535 in blue color and its is an amazing knife. Specialty for backpacking. I know that for some people $140 is too high, but you won't be unhappy with provided quality.
This is "Hans" down the best knife review I've seen today 😃👍
My first Bugout was the Tan scales blade blade with gold thumb studs I have gotten to the point I am liking the Axis lock way more and there are so many aftermarket parts for the 535 Bugout.
Austin is such a knife nerd I love it
I wish more demos were Hans on like this.
This video had the perfect vibe. Some dicking around yet very educational about the product. Perfection.
This morning I reviewed some old Blade HQ orders and ran across the mini-Grip I purchased four years ago for $67.
Anyone else here remember those good old days?
koomo801 yeah now there 93 dollars lol
got this knife a few months ago and now, I am an absolute fan of it. I have had an experience using Spyderco tenacious before that and was looking to buy paramilitary 2 with some better steel but ended up buying bugout somehow and absolutely happy about that.
bechmade ans pyderco which one is better?
@@chris813 hands-off reply - bugout.
Great review... excellent looking knife... again... looks like the Casbah and 530 had a love child
Old video but I can tell you I bought one for my brother. He's ex SF and jerk enough to tell me if something is junk. He has carried it for 2 year's and loves this knife.
The bugout is a great knife, I find it in my pocket more than anything else. It’s slim, comfortable, my only beef: the blade came off center but the action is beautiful regardless.
just bought one this afternoon! i am in LOOOVVE
Pre-ordered! Stoked!
Just got my bugout yesterday. LOVE it so much! Now I just need some apples. 🐛 🍎
Wow this knife can cut an apple!!!
Its about time they came out with a light weight offering. Spyderco has been crushing them for years on that front-because they get it.
It’s funny that no one thought to save cost by making thinner blades and now it’s The Thing.
Just ordered mine from Blade HQ, of course! Lol. I got the Ranger green with the grey blade and clip... even after owning two 940s...I'm super excited to get the bugout.
Why does Hanz look like the
Schnitzel man from hoodwinked
How doesn't this have any likes
Might be my next Benchmade....could it possibly be better than the grizzly ridge?.?.? Idk...love my grizzly ridge. So far in my opinion grizzly ridge is the best edc I’ve ever held...thanks blade hq for the great video and Benchmade for the awesome knives!
I really don't see why so many people are complaining. Yes it's gonna be a bit pricey but for something made in the USA it's always gonna be more then what you want to pay. I'd rather buy this one from benchmade rather then a clone using the same blade steel and handle but for half the price made in China.
A Great slice Every time. OMG.
I love all the blue in there!
Ordered one from you guys today 🤘🏻
can you guys please do a sharpening video about how to sharpen, and what sharpeners do you guys personal use.
James Miller if you have a bench made they will sharpen it for free
Who wants to send it out and wait tho
Just bought one. Love it.
Damit Ben! You missed out Bro. Austin great job buddy. 👍
Here's to hoping benchmade is getting QC squared away...
That's just not possible
Never thought watching someone use a pocket knife to cut an apple would make me buy the knife 😂💯
I got one on the way can't wait
Just got the ranger green bugout and I'm very impressed.
Hey Man U still using ur bugout and if so have u had any issues with the knife at all
@@danielvargo8369 it's not my main everyday carry knife. I now have a Hinderer that takes that roll. But the bugout does get used when I need a lighter carry option. Like when going fishing or going swimming and I want a knife on me. I haven't used it super hard, but it has been used for feathersticking and cutting all kinds of food. Knife is still wicked sharp and very sturdy. I would say it's been amazing for the size and weight.
Nice folder! :)
1:44 - It's called a "mini deep carry MAGAZINE". clip?! pft. rookie.
Nice vid, awesome knife!
It’s an awesome knife! I would have bought it from you guys, but it was on sale at my local shop for $88. I couldn’t pass up that deal!
I like your blade obstacle course. Are you guys going to try any new blades on it? I don't mind the banter videos but would love to see some more of these blades in use too. Maybe you could even add a segment where you test the blades your discussing that day. Food for thought. Keep up the good work 😎
Love the blue
I like the small pocket clip
Oh wow, a modern knife that can cut an apple! It just shows how much we have abandoned practical blade geometry in favor of aesthetics when an attribute of a knife is that it can slice an apple without breaking it.
Cut to years later and it’s now Blade HQ’s best selling knife and a favorite edc among millions 😂
@@davidg4419 He has a point though. Nowadays every pocket knife is super thick to look "tactical." When a thin blade is released everyone thinks its a new concept.
my favorite knife
I very much like mine, but definitely believe it was poorly named. This is an awesome blade for regular EDC tasks, especially when wearing basketball shorts, which is annoying with a heavy blade. However, i would much rather take a stronger and slightly heavier folding knife when camping/hiking, like my Cold Steel Finn Wolf. Not too much heavier and can withstand more wood processing (although would still rather use a fixed blade). Nice video though guys.
I get mine today!
Great knife but hard to beat the 940 in my opinion its one of benchmades best designs
Are u guys going to do another one of Austins knife collection
My next knife will be a benchmade! Just can’t decide between a bugout or a fixed blade
If you don’t mind the money the assisted axis Benchmade knives can be locked into a fixed blade position while also being able to fit in the pocket. I personally love my Benchmade Boost. Just ordered my bugout today also.
I suggest all knife company should make the handle blade space tapered customized to the blade to add more stability in closed blade centering, handle durability and aesthetic geometry.
If I understand you right that is a great idea
On the website it says Bugout Family. Does that mean there will be more added? Different colors maybe? A mini Bugout perhaps?
I might get this soon to cycle with my SOG flash II as edc
Very cool blade
They showed us the knife and then cut an apple with it. Nice looking knife. I'm sure it is quality. No doubt . Much more could have been done to demonstrate its capabilities.
Def getting one
i love s30v!
Interesting knife!:-)
Just ordered one 👍✅
Small blade, blue handle; Ben is away grabbing his Benchmade 535.
I just ordered a 940-2, but I might like that knife better?
The Tod no way.
Lucas Byrnes for the price difference it might be the better choice, but who knows its still new
I just got mine blue bugout and have noticed tooling marks on the flat section of the blade (I’m not a knife expert). When I run my thumb nail along the lines is makes a scratching sound like 80s rap scratching. Is this normal?
Finally got my first bugout today. In Ben blue. Got it from you guys. I love it. Thank you.
i feel like a bromance was started this day
Ah man I miss Austin.
I miss Ben :(
Ordered 2!
I wonder how many people are going to buy this knife just to cut an apple.
I have a question for bladeHQ, do you guys have any suggestions for left handed autos
I love Benchmade knives. Just bought 2 from wish (😂), and now I'm out almost $15.⁰⁰ !! Nice clone, no where near as nice as the _real deal,_ but I can't afford to pay more than $50 for a pocket knife; I can get almost 100 rds of 5.56 for that $$. Much more important for me, personally.
Looks like a nice slim knife for edc too.
Sweet blade.
That Blue has got me eyeballing my blue Delica 4.... it may need a friend
I'm early! I do have to say the video was right to the POINT
It's very light. The scales make it feel cheap. This knife is a sleeper.
I will order Carbon fiber black scales and make it my own. Super nice compared to my 943 Black Benchmade.
Although my 943 Black is my favorite of the two.
I preordered it weeks ago. When is it going to start shipping?
Wow, back from when the Bugout was brand new.-
Blade hq do a video on titanium lock wear. Let's see if they can hold up.
need more colors !!
Ordered mine like 3 weeks and still hasn't shipped yet. About ready to cancel my order.
Is it gong to come out in a different color and handle material?
Not a word of a lie...I just cut my ambrosia apple with my bugout. Creeeeeppyyyyy
I just got one!
Hi, thank you for the video. I. New to EDC knives. A question, are the bugout knives considered gravity knives? I live in NYC and make sure I get the right kind.
No, their legally a manual
I resisted getting this knife for almost 2 years and bought a Grizzly Ridge instead. I listened to the negative and positive and now that I have one, I find it an exceptional knife. I bought G-10 scales to replace the perceived flimsy scales. I may have wasted my money because there's nothing wrong with the stock scales.
Just picked mine up this weekend. Absolutely love it
What should I buy mini Griptilian or 535 bugout?!
Mark Tyler full size grip.
Thanks
940 or 940-2 if you want to spend a little for money for arguably better knife in my opinion.
Bugout. Mini grip is too small, griptillian is too thick. The griptillians were made for holding, not carrying. Bugout is made for both.
I was saving for my bugout for some time and I thought its gonna be my dream knife and finally bought for £140 I'm in UK. And after 1week of using both omega springs broke... I was so disappointed.bought guitar string and make new ones but that left bad taste in my mouth because knife is quite expensive. Also I noticed blade being little bit loose. I think it's great knife but not for that price. Many ppl complaining about omega springs in benchmade knives. Pls consider this before buying.
andy pandy send it to benchmade. They have a great warranty
Love it if I pre-order approximately how long would I expect to wait for to come in
Most likely 10-15 days!
@@BladeHQ You guys need to do a field test video on the bugout like you did with the griptilian and PM2!
Hey guys im from portugal do you think i should still buy from bladehq?
I once bought a top-end Benchmade 760Ti Lum and I was very disappointed. The blade was loose and not centered, felt flimsy for such a high end frame lock. Needless to say, I'm reluctant to try any low end Benchmade now.
Love the knife those carbon fiber scales and blue hardware they have out for them is amazing if you dont like the flex of the blue ones the carbon fiber doesnt flex or move 80 bucks i believe is the price forget the guys name or website
