Oreos only in my house. I’ve had the Hydrox cookie before and maybe the name was throwing me off but they don’t taste the same. That was a limited edition factory error Oreo btw. Could sell it on EBay for some good $$$.
@@DirkWerning, probably for the same reason you buy Hydrox knockoffs: price. That carbon mini bugout is over $320. I have played around with one of the clones a friend bought. The steel isn't great and it needs to be disassembled to apply thread lock on all of the screws. But for the price it is a pretty awesome knife.
And the Oreo still has better fit and finish. Actually I love the Mini Bug. S90 is my favorite. Oreos here. Never had a Hydrox as I lived in the First World. ;)
@@DirkWerning I have a extra deep carry clip in my Osborne. The extra length it clips into my pocket basically snaps over the double layer stitched Jean over my pocket entrance. The screws and clip snap over that Jean leaving the double stitch area in the deep carry area of the clip. Best I can describe it. I never come close to losing my knife, even with fall prtection on.
Mini bugout feels small for me, the regular is perfect. They are quite pricey and I end up customizing them which makes them more pricey. Wish they already came with ti scales instead of grivory.
Wordupbro! Double Stuff Baby! I know I'm gonna break everybody's heart here but, I am not a bugout fan. I own the Contigo. I daily carry the Freak. I am a Benchmade fan. But hold on a minute. They want 300 bones for this thing? Ridiculous. Let me ask you something bro, did that feel like a $300 knife? It sure doesn't look the part. Love the show! Take it easy!
Hard pass on the Hydrox. I remember them, but what a weird name for a cookie. Sounds more like a prescription drug. Also, double stuffs are strictly for sugar maniacs. I'll take regs. Edit: I gave my GF a Spyderco Native 5 in CPM M4 and she loves it. Just a thought for smaller hands.
I agree with your comments on the overall size of the Bugout. I would quickly buy a XL Bugout (with that same look) if they ever offered it. Benchmade seem to be shrinking.
Everyone commenting that this is a $300 knife and this and that... I bought a first production run from an authorized dealer for $219 shipped to my house. Idk where you all are shopping but you can find way better deals on these. Of course you gotta watch for fakes but look through authorized dealers only. for $219, you cant beat this. s90v carbon fiber!
For someone who never owned bugout...i suggest to try it first in person before they buy the mini. Bcos in my humble opinion...the mini is just too small for adult! Trust me on this. And the full size bugoit imo is the perfect size for most people. Some really big hand guy even think is still just a tad too small for them. So for normal XL hand i think regular bugout is just perfect.
Non-sense. The mini bug out is almost identical to the size of a swiss army knife. As an EDC i cannot think of a better size. Just because you have big hands doesn't mean you have to walk around with a folding machite in your pocket.
I’m a lefty and wear my watch on my left. To much computer mouse time at work makes it uncomfortable as your wrist and watch contacts the desk. You sir, are just weird. Lol
Being a first production knife with no number is rather pointless and just something else on the blade. And a first production on a 3rd revision even makes far less sense.. My gold class knives have a number in a series which means something I guess. But to be point blank I buy the gold class for its materials and could do without all the stuff on the blades. Especially on knives with damascus . There are only two Bugouts I would consider. The black carbon fiber and damascus and the titanium with blue accents and damascus . Benchmade is making a killing off of the bugouts and their prices are starting to show they know this. The basic yucky bugouts have risen in price which makes no sense. Especially when you consider how many of those buyers put aftermarket scales and spacers along with pocket clips and screws on them. Buy a knife for $150.00 then dump another $250 into it and expect people to buy your second hand Bugout for $350.00 or more. Each to their own I suppose.
The butterfly price adds hundreds of dollars to the price of a $30.00 knife , for no reason but greed ! They are all Chinese cnc machine clones , even the so called American made ! But the Chinese don't put a rip off price on a knife like benchmade does ! The steel hype ! I priced the steel the size for a folding knife blade was $20.00 , not $200.00 !
I absolutely cannot wait to get my hands on one of these!!!!
Definitely very cool! Great video 👍
I concer with your assessment!!
Thanks

LOL Dude, thats a serious collector COOKIE !!!
Riiiight.
I'm seriously considering getting one and having it shortened to be sub 2.5" blade length for work.
Interesting
@@DirkWerning I work on DOE owned property. There's some federal law that mandates the blade length.
@@Lunchbox4283 gotcha.
Have the clone on order $40.00 ! S90v sounds like renamed D2 !
Why why why support fake clones 🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️🤦🏼♂️

@@FiddleSticks800 nope I don’t by Hydrox and I still don’t support clones. It’s just WRONG.
@@DirkWerning, I'm not saying its right. I agree with you. I don't buy clones either. But you asked a question.
And the Oreo still has better fit and finish. Actually I love the Mini Bug. S90 is my favorite. Oreos here. Never had a Hydrox as I lived in the First World. ;)
Lolol
That’s a bit spicy on the price side… but it’s a cool knife for sure.
Can’t argue with you there.
The regular Bugout is already too small
So true lol.
I agree. For most people i think is perfect. But for some XXL hand..they will say is too small 😁
I dont like counter sunk clip screws, it wouldn’t clip onto my jeans. And I don’t lose my knife.
Not sure I get what you mean??

You can get a 940-1 for that price

Hydrox FTW as a kid, was that the original "homage"?😅
This does look nice, but small for a daily for most.
The first homage….that’s GREAT.
Considering it's only $75 away from a small sebenza... Idk
Great point.
That a cool knife 🔪
Thanks. It’s great….just small 🤦🏼♂️
@@DirkWerning lmao if I had a $100 every time I heard that 😂
@@watchsixto dame here brother same here 😢🤦🏼♂️😢

That’s a good choice for the gf also.
But wait REGULAR Oreo’s are you NUTS?!?!?!?!

Agreed I think an XL might be awesome.
It’s for the edc people that count grams tho

I tend to agree. The mini is certainly too small and the standard is about right. I would love to see an XL version Bugout though.
Non-sense. The mini bug out is almost identical to the size of a swiss army knife. As an EDC i cannot think of a better size. Just because you have big hands doesn't mean you have to walk around with a folding machite in your pocket.
@@DirkWerning So you prefer the regular size over this mini?
@@notifysend1015 yes for me the regular size is better.
Generally:
First Production = Quality Problems
That can certainly be true.
On the oreo v hydrox....hydrox was actually the original. Which was then copied and essentially slandered as a knock off oreo.
I’m a lefty and wear my watch on my left. To much computer mouse time at work makes it uncomfortable as your wrist and watch contacts the desk. You sir, are just weird. Lol
You’re not the first person to tell me that 🤔😂😂
Oreo every time. Who raised you?!.......😆

Clones are NEVER acceptable man. Come on. Don’t be trying to stir things up just to stir up drama.
