The best materials
The handle of the Benchmade Bugout 535BK-4 is made of aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum with a sunburst pattern. This lightweight material offers the user a solid grip. This facilitates prolonged use. Red anodized spacers add a nice contrast to the overall look. The handle also incorporates a lanyard hole at the end, should you wish to add a lanyard.
The blade is made of M390 stainless steel, a top-quality material that holds its sharpness over time. It has a protective black Cerakote coating that protects it from corrosion. Since the percentage of chromium in this steel is very high, rust has very little effect on it. A significant advantage over other high-end steels with low corrosion resistance. What's more,Böhler M390 steel is relatively easy to sharpen.
Easy to use
This version of the iconic Benchmade Bugout opens with a simple one-handed gesture via thethumb stud on the blade. A sturdy Benchmade Axis Lock then secures the working position.
For ease of carrying, the knife also features a pocket clip. This is a little shorter than on other models, to save weight. You can move it from side to side, making the knife totally ambidextrous.
