    • Great inexpensive beginner friendly knife
Color: Ranger Green Grivory - Cerakote Finish
This is an amazing knife. It’s very lite weight, extremely durable and very sharp. Recommend this knife to anyone looking for a great knife for hunting, camping and hiking. Would also makes a great gift for that new EDC knife person. Such as a young man getting his first knife for the Boy Scouts or just hunting and fishing. ... show more

    • Absolutely Fantastic EDC Knife
Color: Ranger Green Grivory - Cerakote Finish
Right out the box I was awestruck with how light the Bugout was. Like it’s really light lol. And it’s quite thin also! I have quite Big hands width wise and at first it felt a little strange to open (only because I’ve always bought very very chunky knives) even so I still got used to it very fast and now it’s one of my favorite knives to fidget with! that is the only reason I put ergonomics at 4 stars instead of five, it’s really just a preference thing, but if my fat hands could get used to it you can too lol. But none of that takes away from its sturdiness for its size or high quality build at all! One of the first things you’ll notice when you open it up is how insanely smooth the action is. If it’s not smooth right away just keep fidgeting with it and trust me it’ll be silky smooth is no time! I’m a huge fan of anything benchmade and the bugout in my opinion has to be the best EDC knife I’ve ever had as regards practicality. I quality control tested it and it passed my inspection with flying colors. And of course it’s extremely sharp, it glides through paper and cardboard which is what I initially tested it with. Keep in mind it’s not going to be ridiculously sturdy like a Benchmade Adamas or something like that but it is an absolutely fantastic blade, and if your looking for a high quality EDC this is it, and it’s worth every penny! But if you’re looking for something extremely durable and just bulletproof in every way look for something along the lines of an Osborne, Mini Adamas, or something like that from benchmade. Hopefully this made some sense and helps y’all out a bit 🤙 ... show more

    • Man, this is a good knife
Color: Flat dark earth and blue
For comparison, I have the Northfork(wood), regular griptilian, 940-2, bug out, and series of other knives including several spydercos including the paramilitary 2 and karahawk. I initially liked the quality of the spydercos and they were among my first higher quality knives that I owned. I was always under the impression that spydercos were top of the line, but then I decided to try the grip full sized. Then I went nuts and got the 940, then the bug out, then the mini grip. These knives hold an edge longer than other knives by far of the same steel. Not only that, the axis lock > any other locking mechanism hands down. The blade shapes imho are more practical and universal. After owning the north fork and mini, I didn't think I needed a bug out but this is a solid knife. Slightly longer than a mini grip and north fork but slightly shorter than a 940. Thinner and much lighter than all the knives I have in my collection. It is a solid knife to add to the rotation so much that all of my spydercos except the pm2 are being phased out. Comparably, the manix is the next best thing within this size but I much prefer the ergos of benchmades, this blade shape, and the quality of heat treat to this metal over all. Honestly, I was concerned from reviews about the scales and the pocket clip. It's true the scales feel cheap but they're solid. I don't believe it'll break at all. I wouldn't use this as a survival or bush knife but edc or slicing, it's perfect and extremely effective. The pocket clip is great, love the size and how much less evasive it looks than a full sized pocket clip. I don't understand what the complaints about the pocket clip is about as I have no issues sliding the clip into my pants easily without needing to fiddle with it, even when I got it brand new and hadn't broken it in yet. My favorites in order 1. 940 2. Grip 3. Bug out, north fork, and mini grip (can't decide) (I love the light Bug out and the clip but the scales feel cheap even though they're pretty sturdy but the other knives are thicker and better suited for piercing and heavier duty, therefore pros and cons depending on what you need it for) 4. Pm2 5. Karahawk I am typically very brand neutral, but I've been won over from spydercos hands down. I just need bm to come out with a knife that rivals the karahawk. 100% recommend the bug out. I have the original blue. I'm looking at a adamas to complete my collection ... show more
