Now that I got that out of my system, i just got a new benchmade yesterday too. A super freek..i love it. Its so smooth and just fits super well in hand. It just feels right.
I was biting at the bit to get that aluminum handled CPM-M4. But at that price and given the other knives you can get for less money. There’s just no friggin’ way!
I love my bright blue Finn Wolf. I got it in that color because there is literally NOTHING in the woods (at least in my area) that it blends with. If I set it down or drop it there is much less difficulty finding it than a black or olive drab knife. As a bonus, it doesn't look as "tactical" to the ignorant scared-of-knives herd, so they don't freak out as much when I use it at work or other public places.
Hey Chris, have you ever done a review on the olight S30R Baton III? I'm looking to pick one up and would like to know what your thoughts on that light are (if you've ever used it). Btw i'm new to the channel and so far i love the content you're putting out, keep it up!
I have numerous Benchmade knives. My bugout is the grey & green. It would be a great knife if they had put in one more back spacer and the blade centering didn’t suck. Mine is the worst I’ve ever seen.
Hi Chris, I’ve been carrying my Bugout Ranger green for 12mths now and love it but yesterday noticed it was falling apart, 3 screws are missing and luckily I found one in my pocket but question is where do you get these tiny screws?
Just bought one to replace my Spyderco PM2. I started to destroy the PM2 in my first day of owning it (ran over a hidden staple in a box which left an indent in the edge and rolled the rest of it) and would prefer a knife with a better warranty so I can have the blade replaced once I completely destroy it.
Hello Chris i hope you are doing very well , i have the blue one and love it i sometimes put it on my neck shirt on the inside just slightly close to the left shoulder
I own 2 Bugout's. The blue one and this all black version. To be honest, I prefer the black one. It feels better in my hand and the action is much more smooth.
I totally agree with you the Bugout is knife guy's favorite, probably their most popular in their recent history. If I were to only own but a couple of folders, the Bugout would be a candidate. Still, it's a bit expensive for my pocket. Since when did you start liking coated blades?
I am from the UK but don't really understand this recent anti-Benchmade thing. What is it about? Did they copy a design or maybe don't pay their workers well? Can't find anything about it on the internet??
Local police asked for help with their equipment for a bunch of guns that they had to destroy which police departments have done since forever. Knife community has a meltdown and blows it up into Benchmade all growing Hitler mustaches and kicking down doors to disarm the public. Then knife community finds political donations to Democrats in their state and assumes it means identifying with Leftist ideologies and not just keeping politicians that aren't likely to go anywhere in the particular state that their Multi million dollar business resides in off their backs. Lots and lots of knee jerk assumptions. Lots of projecting. Lots of hypocrisy because nobody sits in the parking lot of every store they need to buy something from and googles to see if the company has ever donated to a democrat. All emotion, zero critical thinking.
@@preparedmind101 Wow! Thanks Chris; I never would have guessed it was something like that! I imagine cops have to destroy guns sometimes anyway, just as a routine. I thought it was something to do with the actual knives, like they'd put out a clanger or something that looks like it belongs in one of those BudK catalouges. How petty; If I could afford a Benchmade, or even get one over here, that would never sway my decision. I know plenty of musicians that are dickheads or hold certain political views but that doesn't stop me liking their music! We live and learn, thanks again.
@@JustinColman-kz5fl Because it makes total sense that a company that makes things like combat knives and OTF autos are clearly leftists secretly working against America. 🤦♂️
Hey Chris, I wasn't "Yozimboized" either, I'd have done the same🤔. I'm a "tanto/knife-aholic", still wanting the Bailout🤗, but that Bugout's nice🤩! Oh ya, "MUST BE NICE"🤨!!! Have fun and be safe. Take care, "God Bless", sincerely, Randy. 👍👍🙏😇👊
Im really not crazy about benchmade knives the only one i own is the anthem but i did pick up the microtech ultratech tanto and the microtech combat troodon hellhound in merlot this week now i want the halo hellhound great video
I love MIcrotech's too but my Benchmade's are just as awesome IMO. My Microtech Dirac Delta is my favorite from MT at the moment but the Benchmade Bugout is amazing.
nathan nettik No mate, that was a stupid decision on their part, not helped by the police department putting it on FB and giving visibility to the whole thing. However, what came from that was a bit of research showing them donating to anti-gun politicians. Whether that was genuinely to move along or protect knife laws in their home State or not, it makes little difference to those of us who are gun guys first and knife guys second.
For some reason I just don't like the bugout. I don't like the 940 either. I'm more of a super freek person. I haven't handled a bugout yet that may change my mind especially with the cf elite.
@@rolandnyul that's why I don't have it yet. Went that far for a protech and wasn't disappointed, from what I've seen when I used one the freek is worth it.
lukajackluka I’m not even getting rid of my Benchmades, as that serves no purpose. I’m just not buying any more. If you have evidence of other manufacturers donating to anti-gun politicians, then I would genuinely like to see it. 👍
@@ammocraft Exactly. To each their own. If you want to make wild assumptions and conclusions based on flimsy (at best) "evidence", that's your right. So far I've seen zero evidence that Benchmade holds some intuitional anti-2A stance. I've only seen a whole lot of confirmation bias of people seeing what they want to see.
@@preparedmind101 I never said they were anti-2A. I said I won't give money to a company who donate to anti-gun politicians, which is subtly different...and there is factual evidence of that for sure.
Bro, I own several Benchmade knives before they went anti-2nd Amendment. Now, I won't have much to do with them. I kinda wish you would not support that company, providing you are pro-2nd Amendment. You tell me...
Now that I got that out of my system, i just got a new benchmade yesterday too. A super freek..i love it. Its so smooth and just fits super well in hand. It just feels right.
I purchased this knife last October....still my favorite knife...my edc
Chris, any word on how Will is doing? I don't recall seeing anything after he posted a video about personal or health issues.
I got my wife one because she loved mine so much... I put some jade scales on it with a black backspacer. It looks amazing now. Great video 🍻
You always come through for what knife im looking at. Great Vid.
I like the new Bugout...will be picking one up soon. I actually prefer the new Bailout, but at $200+ that will be a full on pass...even with CPM-M4.

I just ordered one!!! this will be my third Benchmade Knife, I recently bought the Mini griptilian and the mini bugout ( the white one)
Do you prefer this one or min white bug out?
I really like the white mini bugout I ended up returning the carbon fiber bugout
Ahhhhhh!! Beautiful knife and woodsie peace and tranquility!!! Oohhmmmm!!!
I *finally* bought a Terava Skrama after watching your review and some others like 2 years ago lol.
200 or 240?
Can you review some affordable folders? In the $40 range?
And fixed blades too. In the $30-$50 range?
I have numerous Benchmade knives. My bugout is the grey & green. It would be a great knife if they had put in one more back spacer and the blade centering didn’t suck. Mine is the worst I’ve ever seen.
I really like it and my EDC is a small Benchmade Griptillian but the $140 range will require some thinking on my part.

Call benchmade and they’ll send you replacement parts no hassle
Was this knife made on a bench?........sorry Very nice looking.

Ok you made this look like something I need
Hey. What do u think about Tom Browns tracker 1 knife?
Thanks for the great video 👊
Hello Chris i hope you are doing very well , i have the blue one and love it i sometimes put it on my neck shirt on the inside just slightly close to the left shoulder
the T shirt , on the neck Hem
I own 2 Bugout's. The blue one and this all black version. To be honest, I prefer the black one. It feels better in my hand and the action is much more smooth.
First time i saw him smiling
Nice. So glad I didn’t go for the S35 steel when it was being pushed as close to S30. Not even
$140 folder really isn't my thing tho.
that's pretty funny.... #BlackKnivesMatter :D
Pretty nice knife. Any cool gadgets or newer versions of old favorites coming? (scratches neck like a crack addict) 👀
CF does not stand for Clown face? I spit my beer!
You spit out your beer for that cheesy ass joke, oh okay. Well keep that to yourself 😂
More flashlights?

Do you have any updates on Mantis Outdoors?
Yea...what happened to Will?
Oh didn't you hear will ate himself to death😆😆😆
Very Nice Blade!!
Man, I wish I waited for this black version.
Good lord your have 847 knives! Love your vids👍🏽
I have recently become a benchmade fan , I'll get it
#blackknivesmatter
Man that's good.
Killer intro! 😎
Great vid as usual

Did you mean #blacklifesmatter Chris
The standard should be $10 to $15 per inch on premium steel.
Do you think it just magickally morphs itself into the shape it needs to be in before slapping a handle on it?
I want the 940 so bad I can taste it, lol, waiting for Blade Show though, you going?
Love the vids
You had me till the 144 mark :-)
Pick up a Griptilian on sale, you be converted.
Would like you to review the Boker El hero.
i always prefer black handles for some reason.
Im really not crazy about benchmade knives the only one i own is the anthem but i did pick up the microtech ultratech tanto and the microtech combat troodon hellhound in merlot this week now i want the halo hellhound great video

I just had delivered the heretic hydra its about the same size as the combat troodon but hit way harder
I thought bench made went antigun and therefore should be boycotted... ? Out of my price range anyway..
Yep, I've not bought once since. Spydie and ZT all the way now.
Antigun for a knife co. Is only like the chick-fil-a cows saying eat more chicken.
Not anti gun, destroyed guns for local law enforcement.

Who wants to see a Bugout XL that’s like the size of an ESEE 6 when it’s opened? Lmao!
That would be so bad ass!!
For some reason I just don't like the bugout. I don't like the 940 either. I'm more of a super freek person. I haven't handled a bugout yet that may change my mind especially with the cf elite.
The Super Freek is on my list, just the price tag makes me uncomfortable.
@@rolandnyul that's why I don't have it yet. Went that far for a protech and wasn't disappointed, from what I've seen when I used one the freek is worth it.
Yeah, that blue handled Bugout was terrible looking!
I like it
This or mini bugout?
Nice but for that amount of money I prefer PM2
The News just pisses me off. Knives don't thanks Chris.
What Doug Shoe sed!
#blackknivesmatter 😝
cool bugout.
i like my cold steel sr1 better though.. :)
Worlds apart. Like Bigfoot vs a Smurf lol
No thanks Benchmade...I'm not helping you donate to any more Democrat politicians.
That whole fiasco was the biggest overreact I've ever seen.
