Color: Ranger Green - Grivory Handle
Style: Plain Edge
This is the Benchmade "Bailout" featuring a 3.38" tanto blade made of CPM S30V stainless steel which is Cerakote covered and very sharp, the blade is 2.29mm thick. The scales are Grivory (glass reinforced polymer). Some people think the Grivory makes the knife cheap quality wise, but it is sturdy, strong and textured for a reliable grip. It is also very light and thin making it really nice to carry in your pocket all day every day. For those who prefer metal scales it is available in aluminum alloy (aircraft alloy) too. Great high quality knife, nice & thin and light weight.

Color: Woodland Green 6061-T6 Aluminum - Cerako...
Style: Plain Edge
This is the first Benchmade knife I've owned, so there's no fanboy bias here. The overall fit and finish is top notch. This thing feels so good in your hand it's amazing. It's very lightweight, but also is very sturdy and has no blade wobble and everything is perfectly aligned. The open/close action is smooth as butter, and the Axis locking system works exactly as expected. The factory edge on my particular knife was extremely sharp; was able to cut through thick plastic wrap without even exerting any pressure... just kinda lasered through it. As I use it more we'll see how good the edge retention is. The only negative thing I've noticed so far is that on the Woodland Green 6061 aluminum model I have, the anodizing when new was kind of a matte finish. But carrying in my pocket that matte finish is quickly wearing away to more of a traditional smooth anodized finish. Not a deal breaker, and hopefully with more use it'll end up an even texture across the entire handle. But right now there's some spots that are smoother than others. I tried getting a picture of it, but it's difficult to get one that clearly shows what I'm talking about. I'll try to update this review in the future since this is something that I'll be carrying / using on a daily basis. Hopefully it'll live up to the hype.

It's a Benchmade! I love good American made knives especially when they are on sale! It's sharp, opens easily, so lightweight I almost forget it's in my pocket. Clearly it's a top tier mass produced knife. You can't do much better unless U are interested in top designer named knives well above this price point.

Very sturdy and sharp out of the box. Thin enough to keep a low profile and fit in conspicuously in smaller pockets.

One great blade. Don't get fooled by the cheap Benchmade knockoffs, these aren't cheap and there's good reason. Very easy, effortless opening and feels great in the hand. Thin and solid AF, will never pocket anything else. The Tanto style blade is it too.

The Bailout is a pretty good Everyday Carry knife. It's lightweight, reasonably tough, and CPM-3V is a great steel for EDC as it is hard but also resistant to impact damage. The only problem is: 3V is also susceptible to rust (all steel is; even Stainless, but 3V might be a bit more prone to rusting than, say, S35VN). It's considered "semi-stainless" and in my experience it's vastly superior to high carbon steels in terms of corrosion resistance (I have a Japanese kitchen knife that rusts if you look at it wrong), but if you live in SLC or spend a ton of time at the ocean with your knives you might want to consider another blade steel. I am a knife junkie and I own (and love) a Bugout, which is why I was so interested in the Bailout. Benchmade is clearly building on the Bugout's success here. The handle is a little larger and more ergonomic for my hand. The Tanto style blade isn't my forte but a lot of people swear by this blade shape. The coating on the blade is really tough. But I don't happen to love the aluminum pommel sticking out the back; it adds bulk with no benefit for me. If you are suffering from knife addiction, reading my review won't matter and you are probably already checking your tracking # to see when your Bailout will arrive. But - if you are a regular person looking for a nice knife for every day carry, I would say buy the Bugout instead. The blade shape, size, lack of pommel, etc., is going to be superior for the types of cutting tasks most people are going to use it for and it costs less. Plus, it comes in really nice colors (I'm a sucker for blue knives).

This is an amazing knife I have carried this every day since it arrived. Stays extremely sharp. I have only had to use my leather strop once every week to keep the edges shaving sharp. I use it to cut any and everything. It’s lightweight and is hardly noticeable in my pocket because of the deep carry clip. If you use a knife every day buy this it’s amazing

Am glad I spent the extra cash on this and not the original bailout. Nothing wrong with the original, but this knife is exceptional. The shade of green they chose for the aluminum handle is really nice. Is like a bright olive. There is texturing on the handle for some grip. The M4 blade, the grey coating is really nice, has a stonewashed look to it. Which is beautiful. The basher/window breaker is nice and thick, which I am a big fan of. The knife is very lightweight. Same pocket clip as the Bugout I have. Opens and closes as should. Is centered when closed. Tip is even. Edge grind is even. No wiggle when open. All edges are smooth. No scratches or flaws. Is hair shaving sharp. All the stuff I can pick on is in great shape. Is really a super good looking knife. Is very light and slim. Am very happy with my purchase. This is not my first Benchmade. Is my 14th. Among around 80 folders. So I have alot to compare to. For the steel upgrade, awesome green aluminum handle, and thick basher is definetly worth the extra cash. Can't wait to take it to work and show my knife buddies.
