S30V mmmm, Axis lock mmmmm, super light and thin mmmmmm, deep carry pocket clip mmmmmmmmmm. I will take 2 with a side of fries.
There is currently an arms embargo on the homestead (I may or may not have bought several knives and a couple of guns, then forgot to get valentines dinner reservations). But this knife is definitely on my list when the embargo is lifted.
Gun Sense (drmaudio) valentines reservations? It’s still a year and two days before Valentine’s Day lol
Just got mine it's a perfect EDC knife. Everything about it is perfect. I can see why this is a more expensive knife it is a step above everything else I've used👍
There are going to be haters because of it’s name and the fact that it has next to no liner. If we put in an EDC position though it will excel and it is plenty strong. About the price, I’ll be blunt: Benchmade will always be overpriced, you pay for a name and good warranty/customer service. Those are my thought on this knife.
Mikey Kincaid it literally has no liner, not “next to no liner”
Man youre gifted. Your review points most important aspects, shows most important features. youre not a guy who buys them to talk about them. Seems like u use them.
Thanks, man. Knives are for using!
I like mine so much I bought two... It really is a great knife.
Love mine. Very strong for it's size, also sharp as hell.
A lot of criticism on this knife. Benchmade wouldn’t design and release a knife if it wasn’t solid. I’ve carried mine everyday, literally, for 2 months and it’s been so solid. It’s a fantastic backcountry blade when you don’t want to carry a fixed blade. Great review, Scout!
Backcountry Exposure i
Backcountry Exposure did you have any issues with the pocket clip being too short or it almost falling out of your pocket because of the shortness of the pocket clip?
Orendz77 it’s never been an issue and I’ve been carrying it everyday for 4 months now.
Backcountry Exposure good to hear. I’m expecting mine today and from watching another video on it one reviewer said his felt like his was going to fall out due to the shortness of the pocket clip but he was the only one saying that. I thought this knife would be a great edc knife and I’m fairly active in my day to day activities and especially at work I didn’t want to risk losing it. I won’t even carry my para 2 because of the fear of losing it at work.
Orendz77 I just ordered mine today. How are you feeling 3 months in?
I"m a little late to the show, but I got mine delivered today. I'll say I like it a lot more than I thought I would. It just works for me and works well!
Miss your tabletop reviews scout, hope to see more in the near future.
Also, as far as comparisons go, I don't understand how the Kabar Dozier wouldn't make it in there as well. It has the same type of "all plastic" construction, extreme light weight, and is even offered in blue just like the bugout. How could anyone NOT compare the blue Dozier to the bugout. I'm so shocked that was left out. Lol
After a bunch of cheap knives I moved up to the Bugout. I never looked back. Great knife
Me too. I also go for light and quality, and it disappears in your pocket because the best knife is what you wear 24/7, and is not in your closet. My question is he has ball bearings
Like the review went out and got one. Really great for EDC, agree not the survival knife that you like if left alone on the planet, but will do most of the tasks you need a knife for. One thing it could be all you had in an emergency and it is a high-quality dependable knife. Not a 12" Bowie though LOL.
To me, at last, the follow up of the awsome Benchmade Ascent 835! 😍
After watching this, I have just ordered one, thank you for making my mind up 👍
i I didn't want to want this knife. I work on a farm, and I would like to be carrying a moderately tough knife... but I can't not want it. I guess I'll just have to get the Griptilian too. By the way, the nicks may be because the edge is stressed and overheated from the factory grinding. The steels tend to not be as good until you sharpen them a couple times.
Great review! I’ve got one of these in the post!
I like the Benchmade 531 better. Similar blade shape, size and weight, but g10 scales get rid of the flex.
BenchMade puts out nice blades.
I like the idea of this knife but I have my reservations. Most of the examples I’ve handled locally, probably 2 dozen, have had gummy actions. Real stiff and sticky. I don’t think I’d break the handles or frame in normal use but the flew would bug me.
If they make a shorter knife, mini grip or mini barrage sized and the action was a little bit smoother from the factory I’d be all over it for an edc knife. I can fix the action but the flex would bug me.
koolaidnd Every Bugout that I have handled has been a little stiff as well. When I purchased mine I just loosened the pivot screw just a hair and it’s got a perfect action now.
Mostly good reviews for the Bugout. I think my Kershaw skyline compares quite well. I like the Damascus blade on mine and it was much cheaper. I will say, I have a 940 that is my edc, but the S30V steel is not my friend. I find it dulls easy and despite my taking tips from ApostleP, it won't hold the edge. I believe they should have called it the "Backpacker" and made a much more robust knife to name the "Bugout".
If you had to pick which would you choose, bugout or Perdue 531? Can't afford both lol. I respect your opinion, thanks Harry
Same EXACT blade as their mini barrage, except mine is m390.
I'm torn between this and the 940-2 for edc/work with cardboard and cutting through ratcheting straps and plastic pallet banding. Which one would make for the best edc knife?
Eric 940-2 100%
Matthew Cleaver thanks for the reply. I've got another shoot out for you. I've disqualified the bug out due to its locking mechanism. So now it's between the full size griptillian or the good ol 940-2
@@eric6523 This is a year later..but you dq'd the bugout due to its lock, but kept two other benchmades with the same lock on your list?🙄
Great knife.
Nice review!
very good edc knife
LBS- I find it weird that none of the youtubers that have reviewed this knife have seemingly noticed or mentioned the fact that this knife comes with a pocket clip that utilizes two (2) screws, yet the knife handle comes with three (3) pilot holes on either side of the handle. Why is this?
My guess is because they wanted to keep the same hole pattern as the other majority of their knives. Then if you want to swap the bugout clip for a "standard" Benchmade clip you can
They missed an opportunity with this one man. The name makes no sense but if you called it the "bugout LT" and then had a "bugout xl" with aluminum handle scales, bigger blade, sharpened 90° spine I think that would make wayyyy more sense as a bug out pocket knife but this right here is for the office Spartans whom tackle the mail room clamshell packages 😂😂😂
These retail now for ~$130, they've gone up like everything else
Are u still.using ur bugout and if so have u had any issues with the omega springs breaking on benchmades great video too
My springs got a little rusty but they have never acted up on me. I would imagine BM will let you use the warranty to clean up any rust
@@4030man ok thank u for ur reply I jere alot of people saying there omega springs breaking on their bugouts and other benchmades I dint understand I never had that issue either
@@danielvargo4498 I stand corrected. My omega spring broke yesterday lol. Messaged bench made about warranty work
@@4030man damn how long have u had the knife if u dont mind me asking before it broke
@@danielvargo4498 I got it in February or so. That being said I believe there was rust on the spring when I got it but I was a great deal so I couldn’t pass.
As much as I love the bugout, if you want a good lightweight knife maybe look at the Para 3. No spring to worry about
I like Benchmade but this knife is too expensive for what it is.
I think there good knives. But no way worth the price point. Put it at $50 and they would be more on point.
Can anyone tell what angle benchmade does there knives?! If I go to a 35 how do I put a 30 degree back on it vise versus I’m still trying to get the sharpening thing down thanks!
TheCobradragon My advise is don't get too caught up on degrees. Get a sharpie color the edge and just follow the factory grind. I think too many people on TH-cam get caught up on 30° vs 25° vs 27°. Unless you have something like a wicked edge and hours to change the factory angle I wouldn't worry to much.
Thanks for the advice!
Nice carving :) But, if the blade is so thin ...that makes the blde a "slicer"...meant for "light use". Not carving wood. :) Our takeaway? Even S30V can chip under "hard use" if the blade is thin enough...perhaps any "slicer" blade. But mostly it did hold together.
Yur wood carving test...does beg the question "wht can we actually use pocket knvies for?". So that we can use the knife and only have the cutting edge dull. Using our common sense.
e.g. prying staples? probably not a good idea with any pocket knife blade tip. :)
e.g. metal to metal conact --blade to ______metal object...bad diea.
"Hard use"---fixed blade. "surival" or "comat" oriented. Knives that aren't "slicers".
looks like an expensive kabar dozier
It was almost a perfect knife. But the liners... The DAMN liners... Why!?!?!?
"...I'm a fan of this knife" - way to start an unbiased review :D
Albert Jónás If you think that was the start of the review, you don’t understand the review process. The “start” of the review was many months earlier when I first began carrying the knife-at which point I WAS unbiased, and undecided. Now I’m not. Now, after months of frequent use, I’m a fan of it.
Fair enough, you are right.
Nice knife, great review.
Uncle Dan out!
Worth $80...and that's with taxes and everything. IMHO
Well... Do you have one? I do, and it's more than that to me. I love mine
I have one and $75 should be top dollar for this knife. That being said I love it but it completely overpriced.
16 min knife review. Did nutnfancy take you hostage😆
Delica is a lockback...and lockbacks like Grandma's station wagon get the job done but they are boring AF and outdated.
Bugout = Fixed blades only
You’re paying for the steel
google must_die better not be... s30v chips easily and is a second tier blade steel, was all of the rage 10-15 years ago. So many nicer steels for that price range, s30v shouldnt be more than 100 dollars on a knife
Shouldn't be more than $40.
You’re paying for the butterfly.
You can get 20 tactical knives at harbor freight for that price..
Yes and no warranty, brittle crappy steel that will chip or snap easily.
It's gonna be a cold day in hell before I spend 100 bux on a plastic knife...
karm42yn does that mean no griptilian either?
Doesn't the griptilian have full lenght liners though?
My Opinel No8,cuts-slices and feels x10 better than the Griptilian. It's more beautiful too. Why spend so much money on a knife,that when it dulls will be a pain to resharpen? If I lose it or get stolen I cry etc. My favorite handle materials,are paper or canvas micarta and wood.It's just a personal preference. PS If someone says,the Griptilian will last more,then you can buy 10 Opinels and still have money left,these will last even more than the Griptilian.
When it comes to my EDC I don't like including stuff that is disposable (except maybe lighters, I often hand them to people). I want to be confident that the tools will not let me down when I need them most. Opinels have their place but are way too fragile.
Your money, your choice, your loss
Leatherman and CRKT offer similar knives for a lot less money, same quality.
I'm not going to pay over one hundred dollars for a knife I need to be gentle with
This knife was made for Instagram and no other reason.
Nope. It's not worth it
Great knife.
Great knife.
