Vernon Robertson: Little on the expensive side but well worth it

Zackary CorneliusZackary Cornelius: It is even lighter than I imagined. It didn't take too many flips to break in and came razor sharp.

Alberto: Estupenda navaja para uso diario.
Muy ligera, mantiene el filo, se abre y cierra con una mano.
Si no fuese tan cara sería un regalo perfecto.

Jose A.: Una navaja muy robusta y al mismo tiempo ligera que la hacen muy adecuada como herramienta EDC. El acero de la hoja es de gran calidad y el mecanismo de bloqueo funciona con una suavidad increíble.

Timmbo: Das Bugout ist zu einem meiner absoluten Lieblingsmesser geworden. Ich habe leider eine kleine Sammelleidenschaft für Klappmesser, viele Victorinox aber auch US-Messer, insb. Spyderco und Kershaw (Zero Tolerance) haben es mir angetan.

Das Bugout war nach dem Griptilian mein erstes Benchmade und als es ankam war mein erster Gedanke: wow, ist das leicht!

Das Messer hat relativ einfach gehaltene Griffschalen und verzichtet bis auf den oberen Bereich auf Liner. Dadurch wird es extrem leicht. Die Klinge ist aus S30V, einem tollen Stahl, der die Schärfe lange hält und noch akzeptabel zu schärfen ist. Dazu hat er eine gute Korrosionsbeständigkeit. Die Klinge hat eine Droppoint-Form und ist etwas über 8cm lang. Sie ist fast komplett flach geschliffen und relativ spitz zulaufend. Dadurch eignet sie sich hervorragend für Arbeiten im Alltag und auf Ausflügen, wie Kartons/Briefe öffnen, Obst schälen/schneiden, mal etwas irgendwo "rausfriemeln". Auch im Haushalt, um z.B. kleinere Arbeiten an Kabeln etc. zu verrichten eignet es sich meiner Meinung nach auch sehr gut, da es sich damit sehr genau arbeiten lässt. Für kleinere Arbeiten im Garten würde ich es auch noch...

Tech nerd: I have had pocket knives my entire life and had to use them as a part of my job for many years. They are a very personal tool that you rely on and develop a pretty personal relationship with.

I have had cheap knives and expensive knives and everything in between. Over time you realize that a cheap knife is not only not as nice but in many cases can be dangerous. So I tend to buy middle range to slightly expensive now and keep it longer. I only buy American made now not because China is evil or any other country is good or bad but because I like buying something from a smaller and more local company that pays attention to details. You get what you pay for is really true.

This is my first Benchmade, before this I have had Kershaw US made and Zero Tolerance as my main EDC knives. I have found US made Kershaw knives to be a great value and Zero Tolerance to be just great. So this Benchmade was a shock when I first got it. For $130 I was expecting full stainless steel tangs along the grivory handles and that is not what I got. So I was going to return this knife because even though it is not clearly stated that this knife has a nice stainless steel blade attached to a...

Flaviar: For comparison, I have the Northfork(wood), regular griptilian, 940-2, bug out, and series of other knives including several spydercos including the paramilitary 2 and karahawk. I initially liked the quality of the spydercos and they were among my first higher quality knives that I owned. I was always under the impression that spydercos were top of the line, but then I decided to try the grip full sized. Then I went nuts and got the 940, then the bug out, then the mini grip. These knives hold an edge longer than other knives by far of the same steel. Not only that, the axis lock > any other locking mechanism hands down. The blade shapes imho are more practical and universal. After owning the north fork and mini, I didn't think I needed a bug out but this is a solid knife. Slightly longer than a mini grip and north fork but slightly shorter than a 940. Thinner and much lighter than all the knives I have in my collection. It is a solid knife to add to the rotation so much that all of my spydercos except the pm2 are being phased out. Comparably, the manix is the next best thing within this size but I much prefer the ergos of benchmades, this blade shape, and the quality of heat...

Michael: Hallo zusammen,
ja das 535 ist schon ein geiles Messer. Extrem leicht und trotzdem stabil. Mann merkt es kaum in der Hosentasche. Die Blue Class ist wohl so die Mittelklasse der Bugout Serie. Leider fehlt diese Angabe bei allen Benchmade Messer in den Textbeschreibungen. Denn es gibt noch eine Gold und Black Class. Steht aber immer nur auf den Verpackungsschalen außen drauf, was für eine Class das Messer ist. Schade eigentlich. Hätte gerne mal erfahren welche die Gold Class Messer sind. Der S30V Stahl ist 2017 Produktion. Jetzt heißt er S90V bei den 2018 Klingen.
In wie weit die wirklich unterschiede in Schnitthaltigkeit haben kann ich im Alltagsgebrauch nicht unterscheiden. Was ich weiß ist das, dass Messer ultrascharf ist und sich mit einem Rundstahl sehr gut abziehen lässt. Bitte nichts anderes verwenden sonst macht Ihr das Messer kaputt. Fast 160€ für ein Taschenmesser ist schon happig. Dafür gibt es schon Damast Klingen. Aber ob die wirklich so viel besser sind bezweifle ich, auf Grund meiner eigenen Erfahrungen, sehr. Was für mich Ausschlaggebend ist, das leichte Gewicht und der Verschluss der echt geil ist. Grüße euer Michael.
