Color: Black CF Elite - Cerakote Finish
This is my second purchase of this Benchmade knife. I purchased one several years ago for myself. This time for my best friend as a Christmas gift. This a great EDC knife, made from quality materials and excellent craftsmanship. It’s very light and extremely sharp. This Benchmade knife is a little pricey, but discounts and specials can be found throughout the year. I highly recommend. ... show more

    • A high quality 1 1/2 ounce knife with a just under 3" blade
Color: Orange Grivory - Stonewash Finish
I got this knife as a backup to my everyday working lock blade folding knives with four inch blades and bigger handles. There are a few jurisdictions in Oregon where lock blade knives must have blades under 3" to be carried in a pocket or otherwise concealed. In addition, if a group of strangers is around, and I need to cut something it would be nice to have something smaller and less scary looking. Since the knife is smaller than those I like to use, I wanted it to be as light as possible so I would be willing to carry it even though I had a bigger knife with me. This mini Bugout by Benchmadeis perfect. The blade opens and closes easier than any of my others. However, I cannot open or close it with one hand. My hand is too big for the tiny knife to be in the right orientation for that. No surprise. The blade is razor sharp. The knife seems to weigh nothing. ... show more

The media could not be loaded. This knife is as light in the hand and easy to carry in the pocket as advertised. The blade was shaving sharp and the action was drop shut smooth with solid lock up right out of the box. I find flicking the knife open with my thumb to be very natural and needed zero break-in. The grivory (plastic) handle scales do have some flex. To me on a knife with a sub three inch blade that's not a big deal because the smaller size limits how much it flexes and because this isn't supposed to be a hard use knife. The handle is very slim but still comfortable with enough texture for a secure hold without being abrasive. It's just big enough for me to get a four finger grip. I wear a men's size large gloves, so those with big hands may find their pinky hanging off the end. The small pocket clip is my favorite style that Benchmade has and is very easy to get in and out of the pocket. Because the knife sits so deep in the pocket with this clip you get security knowing the knife won't come out and also a discrete appearance. I love buying American made products and am very happy to support Benchmade with all their knives made in Oregon. From a price standpoint Benchmade charges a premium even among American knife makers, so I can't call it a amazing value, but the price tag isn't so high that it's unreasonable. For a quality sub 3 inch bladed, lightweight, American made knife in my opinion this is the top of the heap. ... show more

    • Very lightweight
Color: White Grivory - Cerakote Finish
This knife is lightweight and smaller than I expected. It fits well in my bag or pocket without adding too much weight. I like the axis lock for a tight blade lock and easy unlock. The white color is perfect for finding it in my bag. Razor sharp as usual for Benchmade. Good materials.
