Have been carrying a William Henry knife for years. Very nice but on the small side. Wanted something a little bigger but not heavier. This was a nice find. A considerably larger blade than my Henry but still under 2oz. Very happy with it and it is now my EDC.

As for weight and size...great! As for my thoughts on heavy field use...not so good. I’ve several Benchmades and love them. This one is my outlier. If just feels cheap and not substantial. I’m sure it will do well for an office box opener. The blade is sharp and well balanced out of the box. I would spent the money differently if I could do it slim again.

simple unassuming quality. The blade is nice and spicy and the access lock keeps it secure. Can be used with confidence. I love it!

What hasn't already been said about the Bugout? For its weight and size, it's just an amazing knife. It's also FUN to "play" with (with its smooth action and Axis lock). I've already used mine on a dayhike, and next up is a multi-day backpacking trip. I know it will be a great companion on all adventures I have in my future. Is it as robust as, say, a Spyderco Paramilitary 2? No, but the PM2 is also twice the weight. For most EDC-needs, the Bugout is more than adequate. Also, LOVE the Benchmade Life-Sharp service. Looking forward to using my knife so much that it needs the Benchmade "spa service". I know it will come back as near-to-new as I could ever hope for. Yes, Benchmade knives are expensive, but they're made in the US (yes, that matters), and are of high quality. Yes, the Chinese are making some pretty incredible knives for less, but something just doesn't sit will with me there. Glad I have a Bugout as part of my knife collection.Read full review

Perfect benchmade quality indeed. Very nice fit and finish packed into a practical and attractive small frame. Despite the past few BM knives I've purchased coming with unfinished edges the bevel grind on this one was spot on. Quite toothy straight out of the package but a few strokes with some crock sticks and a nice strip afterwards never fails to reveal a hair popping and razor sharp edge. I guess I just like them a little more sharp than they usually come. In times past i ha e reprofiled on a KME but decided to take a different approach. Glad I did.. crock sticks and strop for the win! :) 10/10 in my book!
