The Benchmade Bugout collection is designed as an ultra-lightweight, highly capable set of everyday-carry knives built for hikers, travelers, and anyone who wants strong performance without bulk. The line includes full-size and Mini Bugout models, along with premium versions featuring upgraded blade steels and handle materials like carbon fiber or aluminum. All Bugout knives share the same core traits: a slim, versatile drop-point blade, Benchmade’s smooth and ambidextrous AXIS® Lock, and ergonomically shaped handles that keep the knife comfortable while maintaining minimal weight. With options ranging from tough, lightweight Grivory to high-end S90V and carbon fiber builds, the Bugout family offers a balance of portability, reliability, and customization that makes it a top choice for everyday carry, outdoor use, and go-bag essentials.
