Description
The Benchmade 535BK-07 Bugout is a premium evolution of one of the most iconic ultralight EDC knives in existence. Built for adventurers who demand top-tier materials without sacrificing sleek form, this version upgrades every element while keeping the Bugout's famously slim, lightweight profile intact.
The star of the show is the 3.24" drop point blade, precision-ground from ultra-premium M390 stainless steel—known for its outstanding edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion protection. The blade is finished in a rugged Black DLC Battlewash, giving it a worn-in, ready-for-anything look that shrugs off scratches and blends seamlessly into tactical environments.
The handle is crafted from Burnt Brass anodized 6061-T6 aluminum, delivering durability with a refined edge. This material gives the knife a satisfying in-hand weight without going overboard—tipping the scale at just 2.5 oz. For those who want a knife that stands out without screaming for attention, this colorway hits the mark. Accented with turquoise anodized hardware—including the dual thumb studs and barrel spacers—the 535BK-07 brings a subtle flash of style that’s as striking in the boardroom as it is around a campfire.
As always, the AXIS Lock mechanism provides ambidextrous, one-handed operation with secure lock-up, and the mini deep-carry clip ensures a low profile in the pocket whether you carry left or right.
