Don't be so sure, unless a person is washed in the blood of Jesus Christ they are as far removed from God as possible. There's no "good" people in Heaven, only forgiven people and they aren't talking, they are resting in Christ until He resurrects the dead. I don't mind being that guy telling you that your favorite uncle who didn't care for Jesus is in Hell, not looking down on you because i love you enough to teach you the truth so you can do the same. Unless somebody seeks truth they will never see the glory of God. You can be sure that if an individual has a multi million dollar company they aren't listening to what Jesus taught about money. Is it possible that in their dying breath they called out to Christ? Yes, most certainly but its about who God chooses to have mercy on.
The first Bailout was one of the best examples of “great in theory; not practice”. Thin plastic handles are simply not strong enough for a “semi-hard use” knife, no matter what you do to the plastic, and 3V might work great on a thicker fixed blade, but it was so soft (at least on early runs) that it couldn’t hold an edge nearly as well as it should have, and would irreparably bend under load (because it was so thin). This new model, however, seems to be one of the best cases I’ve ever seen of a company actually listening to their customers and fixing a product. M4 is basically 3V for folders, being very tough, but also strong enough to work with a thin blade (also much, much better edge retention), and while aluminium (yes that is how you spell it) is obviously not as light as plastic, it’s much stronger, and probably the lightest metal handle material available. Overall, while I’m someone who prefers to seperate their lightweight knives and their hard-use knives, I’m much more interested in this new version.
I just got it today and I was looking for a 940 Osborne with a green handle, but since they didn’t have it this thing was speaking to me. Almost walked away, but I love tanto blades and the OD Green goes with my EDC theme rn. Very light and don’t even notice it’s there in my pocket. It’s also small enough to carry in the same pocket as my phone without giving me trouble.
New sub-came over after seeing you on LBS last week. Nice review! This definitely seems more appealing than the initial version. I’m not a huge tanto fan but this one may be able to convince me.
I want to check this knife out, but I'm not a tanto guy. If they get a different blade shape for it I'll be adding it to my list. Great review and well said in the start of the video.
RIP Les. This knife is intriguing to me for some odd reason. Good car knife? My favorite glassbreaker implementation is from the Spuderco assist. It only pops out when you squeeze it while closed. I wish they'd refresh it with LC200n nonserrated.
Thanks for the great video and the coupon code to SEKW. I just ordered the last one in stock. 15% off + no tax with a Benchmade authorized dealer? That’s a good deal for me. Subscribed and Liked ❣️
The Bailout is my favorite Benchmade model. I have had no trouble with the 3V steel. Maybe I got one of the updated models. (see Pete's recent review of Benchmade 3V). Have said that, I totally love the aluminum scales over the plastic ones. I do prefer 3V to M4, but this new Bailout is tempting.
This is one cool knife. I am starting to get a tanto itch and just can't find any decent comparison of tanto knives. Just thinking loud here but ... would you consider making one? :)
I dont mind the 3v but im definitely putting some titanium handle scales on mine,fuck aluminum shit is metal but feels cheap. Though the grivory version is close to 200 now,i got it for 259 because I wasn't waiting for benchmades bs lead times over amazon
I haven´t owned a Benchmade yet, but been eyeing a blue Bugout for a while. Wasn´t the Bugout gonna come with a more stiff scales? Thanks for the video!
Hey slicey dicey have u had any omega springs breaking on any if ur benchmade knives I know five benchmades and never had that issue but I dint carry them that much cause I'm scared for that happening do u have any pointers bud love ur videos man
I honestly think I don't like the edges on the top of the knife thats alittle reason I don't like the pardue as much but I wouldn't mind trying out the bailout because of that d2 steel
Put that M4 in a Griptilian, not the G10 grip, just a plain old Grivory Grip to keep the price down. A regular old Griptilian with M4 would be a nice EDC that a person will actually use, not put in the safe. That's the beauty of the original Griptilian in 154 and then s30v, people purchased them to use everyday, sharpen and use again. I think 140.00 would be very doable, and I'd buy 2 😆
Forgot to say that really like this knife, but I agree with your dislikes Bryan. To me, that pommel doesn’t fit! All that said, I’d love to own it because it is a Benchmade, and I don’t own any! #RIPLes
Tanto is pronounced with a short “A” as you initially said it. There’s no long “A” vowel sound in most Asian languages as tanto is Japanese in origin and can be seen in the familiar katana and wakizashi.
I believe the versions he used, the one that sounds like the Lone Ranger's companion and the one that rhymes with "can't", are both short "A". The long "A" version would be "tainto", and Frankie and Bird wouldn't be able to ignore the bawdy wordplay.
I feel like the super freak is better than this, and it is cheaper. Maybe the bailout targets a different audience, but I couldn’t see people buying this over a super freak.
Coming from a LE background in my past, I find glass breakers on knives, especially small lightweight folders, gimmicky and not useful. Pommels are a leftover trend from the tacticool era that we have seen in the past five to seven years and statistically I would surmise are rarely to never used. It takes up space and increases the knife’s overall length, increases the awareness in the pocket and does serve as an inconvenience when utilizing certain movements with the Axis lock on pulling back on the Omega springs. If I got this knife, I’d look to replace the backspacer immediately. Maybe I’m way off and people just absolutely need a pommel and glass breaker in the everyday world.
I’m just not impressed with the bailout. As a LEO I, would never choose this knife as my main folder/pocket knife. The pommel/lanyard/glass breaker ruins this folder for me. I will stick with my PM2 and American Lawman folders for duty.
Slicey Dicey Yes, It’s great! I like how thin and lightweight the lawman is for its size. I also like knives that have a fairly grippy G10 texture for my duty knife. Off duty......I carry a PM3 Light weight, Sage 5, or Bugout.
I’m gonna buy one just for the glass breaker!
RIP to Les. I'm not a big Benchmade guy, but they definitely made some incredible knives and have done a lot for the American knife industry.
That sweet baby is US Army beautiful. I just purchased it.
Appropriate giveaway in honor of a true innovator in our knife community. Great tribute. Cheers, Bryan. 🍻
Love the tanto! Love the color... and the pommel and the glass breaker are fine!....
......if that bugs ya...get a Bugout! 😲
Lol! That’s incredibly said!
RIP Les. Just happened to be carrying my favorite BM (940-2) the day he passed. I’m sure he and Warren are up there talking blades right now.

I really like the glass breaker you never know when you might need it
Yeah... you may never use it, but it’s there just in case 👍

Can't wait for the gaw. Really like the look of the new bailout. I've never won anything so I'm way overdue!
Nice piece good vid. Recently got the plastic version in for review.

Good looking knife Love my Bugouts R.I.P. LES 👊
This is a knife I'm really liking not sure why I haven't bought it yet !!!🙏💙
What a sweet blade!!
Oof the new bailout is real nice looking, I would love to get that one.
Now I want one!
On my list to get!!!!
I have this knife and love it

Check Outpost 76 video that also came out today about bailout 3v .
I just updated my 3V benchmade with Titanium scales and deleted the pummel. :)
Get the 3v version and put aftermarket scales on it. They sell titanium ones
@@charliebaker1427 - always a good choice.
This is one cool knife. I am starting to get a tanto itch and just can't find any decent comparison of tanto knives. Just thinking loud here but ... would you consider making one? :)
I dont mind the 3v but im definitely putting some titanium handle scales on mine,fuck aluminum shit is metal but feels cheap. Though the grivory version is close to 200 now,i got it for 259 because I wasn't waiting for benchmades bs lead times over amazon
where can one get that patch ? =]
I haven´t owned a Benchmade yet, but been eyeing a blue Bugout for a while. Wasn´t the Bugout gonna come with a more stiff scales?
Thanks for the video!
It does. That's the one I showed. The CF Elite. I already did a review.
Hey slicey dicey have u had any omega springs breaking on any if ur benchmade knives I know five benchmades and never had that issue but I dint carry them that much cause I'm scared for that happening do u have any pointers bud love ur videos man
Never had a problem. It seems like you either break them or you don’t.
@@SliceyDicey Thanks man ur awesome
I’m not a tanto fan but this is a BEAUTY! #RIPLes
Not bad looking blade...seems like it would carry nice!
The best looking knife imo
Best Benchmade so far in my opinion.
I honestly think I don't like the edges on the top of the knife thats alittle reason I don't like the pardue as much but I wouldn't mind trying out the bailout because of that d2 steel
Will this be my first $200 knife...

Trade u a drocket Zulu spear red n black with deep carry clip
I wish the bailout was as thick as a griptilian.
I really, really like that new version, but there is no way I am paying $200+ for it. Sadness :(
Love bench made, but they just aren't competitive price vs quality. That could be about $150 knife from any other company.
Not with m4 steel.

Ron G You mean just Frankie, lol.
Came by one today in serrated version. Have similar likes/dislikes, as you cover. May not be a keeper. 🤔🔪🤔
I feel like the super freak is better than this, and it is cheaper. Maybe the bailout targets a different audience, but I couldn’t see people buying this over a super freak.
I agree , I guess the tacticool crowd would like it , the guys who wear body armor at soccer games .

benchmade is dead to me.
