Availability: In Stock
SKU: BEN535-3

Since its inception, the Bugout folding knife has stood out for its ultralight build and practical everyday performance, becoming a go-to option for users who prioritize efficiency without unnecessary bulk. This 535-3 version builds on that foundation by introducing upgraded materials that enhance strength, edge retention, and overall handling while preserving the slim, easy-to-carry profile that defines the design. The milled carbon fiber handle offers a more rigid and refined feel in hand, reducing weight while maintaining durability, and giving the knife a cleaner, more modern look suited for both everyday use and outdoor environments.

Equipped with a CPM-S90V stainless steel blade, this version is designed to handle extended cutting tasks with minimal edge degradation, offering a balance of wear resistance and corrosion protection. The drop-point blade shape remains versatile and controlled, making it suitable for precise cuts as well as general utility work. Its ambidextrous AXIS® lock allows for smooth, consistent operation with either hand, supporting reliable one-handed use without compromising security. Blue anodized accents provide a subtle visual contrast, adding character to the knife while maintaining a functional and understated aesthetic. Built in the USA, this model continues the Bugout’s focus on portability and long-term reliability, now with a more premium material configuration.
