Benchmade Bugout 535BK-2 – 3.24" CPM-S30V Blade, Black Grivory Handle, AXIS Lock EDC Knife

The Benchmade Bugout 535BK-2 is the ultra-light, all-black evolution of one of the most iconic EDC knives ever made. Built for serious carry without the bulk, it features a 3.24" drop point blade made from high-performance CPM-S30V stainless steel. With excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance, it handles daily tasks with ease. The blade sports a stealthy black Cerakote finish, reducing glare and improving wear resistance. The handle is constructed from rugged black Grivory, a high-strength polymer that’s incredibly lightweight yet durable. Textured scales provide a secure grip without adding weight, and the ergonomic shape makes it comfortable in any hand. Weighing only 1.8 ounces, it’s one of the lightest full-size folders on the market. Equipped with Benchmade’s signature AXIS Lock, the blade opens and closes smoothly with one hand. A reversible deep-carry pocket clip and lanyard hole round out this minimalist, mission-ready design. Whether you're a backpacker, first responder, or everyday user, the 535BK-2 is built to disappear in your pocket but stand out in performance.
