Apple seeds actually do hurt you - in extreme doses though. Apple seeds contain cyanide. A 150 lb man would have to eat the seeds of about 20 apples to die from cyanide poisoning... so there's that.
I dont think he was trying to be rude but trying to talk on camera more, it looks unnatural to him and like he is forcing it. May be way off but thats what it looks like to me.
Hi I saw a knife that looked exactly like a Benchmade and it had the bench made actual logo I saw this knife on teemu it had the yellow scales I was wondering if those Benchmade looking 5:35 bug out knives are actually really Benchmade knives cuz I can't find a maid in China anywhere in the paperwork or on the knife it's exactly the same but for less Price
Returned the Bugout because it was to light. Seemed like it was designed for a small woman or a child. Just didn’t fit my hands at all. Manufacturer also didn’t offer many option for design as well.
I feel like this would be Ben’s ideal knife because he is always leaning towards small lightweight knives. I tend to lean towards the bigger blades my self but, this would be really good for him since he could use it for all the random things people use their knives for as well as a self defense tool. I say that because I believe that Ben has mentioned that being an aspect of a knife that he wants from previous episodes.
Would love to see the new 535 in a smoky gray, translucent handle scale and black anodized thumb stud. Great vid as always. Hugely jealous of that limited blade show run 707.
My first Bugout was the Tan scales blade blade with gold thumb studs I have gotten to the point I am liking the Axis lock way more and there are so many aftermarket parts for the 535 Bugout.
I very much like mine, but definitely believe it was poorly named. This is an awesome blade for regular EDC tasks, especially when wearing basketball shorts, which is annoying with a heavy blade. However, i would much rather take a stronger and slightly heavier folding knife when camping/hiking, like my Cold Steel Finn Wolf. Not too much heavier and can withstand more wood processing (although would still rather use a fixed blade). Nice video though guys.
I love Benchmade knives. Just bought 2 from wish (😂), and now I'm out almost $15.⁰⁰ !! Nice clone, no where near as nice as the _real deal,_ but I can't afford to pay more than $50 for a pocket knife; I can get almost 100 rds of 5.56 for that $$. Much more important for me, personally.
Might be my next Benchmade....could it possibly be better than the grizzly ridge?.?.? Idk...love my grizzly ridge. So far in my opinion grizzly ridge is the best edc I’ve ever held...thanks blade hq for the great video and Benchmade for the awesome knives!
I have this exact knife, was thinking of going to a 940, but I can't. It became my edc, its gonna stay my edc. Best knife money can buy for an edc. You can wear it with sweatpants, that's my mark for a knife. I still think it's overpriced, but oh well, it lasts forever.
Wayyy overpriced as usual. Bought one of the g10 griptillians when they were available for preorder-order from blade hq. is it a nice knife? Yes. Is it worth $200? Fuck no. I wouldn't pay more than $120 for it, if I bought it again, and the only reason being the m390 blade steel. You can get better knives for cheaper. I know I'm beating a dead horse...
too light, i enjoy substance. for an EDC its fine. plus the blue is stunning. I played around with one the other day and it felt fragile. plus its overpriced. there, i said it.
Try to find the all black, the full black is carbon fiber reinforced. I own the ranger green and black. The ranger green is stronger than the blue but i prefer the green. But look for the 535BK-2
Just got one today, and one of the anodized thumb studs was nicked and shows the silver, and has a sharpness to it. When the fuck is Benchmade going to get their Quality Control together? This is not a cheap knife! GET YOUR QC SHIT TOGETHER!
I got the Bugout 535 BK2 recently based upon the reviews and have to say it is not worth the money - I am confused by your review The handle feels extremely cheap, the thickness of the overall thickness of the handle is too small for someone with reasonably sized hands. The blade whilst sharp is small and thin. For the price, my Gerber is a much better knife at 1/3rd of the price, whilst not having the same blade, the handle is more usable and the size of the knife is double that of the bugout. Please think carefully about buying this knife, the cost of the Benchmade's is not value for money!
Does anyone know of a good way to tell if a Bugout is a counterfeit? I got one off a friend really cheap and he said he didn't pay anywhere near retail for it new from a brick and mortar cutlery store. It has all the correct billboarding, weight, colors and action. Benchmades, imho, are one of the brands that really have most people fooled. They're a great example of "paying for the brand name." I'm not saying they aren't good blades, especially the black box stuff, but most of their prices are ridonkulous. $200 for the Altitude? Come on B'made, seriously?
Oh wow, a modern knife that can cut an apple! It just shows how much we have abandoned practical blade geometry in favor of aesthetics when an attribute of a knife is that it can slice an apple without breaking it.
@@davidg4419 He has a point though. Nowadays every pocket knife is super thick to look "tactical." When a thin blade is released everyone thinks its a new concept.
I just got mine blue bugout and have noticed tooling marks on the flat section of the blade (I’m not a knife expert). When I run my thumb nail along the lines is makes a scratching sound like 80s rap scratching. Is this normal?
Fantastic knife at a fantastic price. I haven't purchased a Benchmade knife in quite awhile because of price, quality and plain boring. I picked this up yesterday and I'm extremely impressed. Well done Benchmade.
Hanz says eating the apple seeds won't hurt you, but they will. Apple seeds contain cyanide, and people have died from putting apples seeds on their salad, etc. Don't eat the seeds people! Lol
Great knife, but honestly get a pair of Ti or carbon fiber after market scales , wake it a whole new knife. the grivory flexable handles are too flimsy in my opinion I think Benchmade shaved off too much weight, if they didnt make the inside of the scales web like and made them solid for only a few grams more , it most likely get rid of the flex issue most people are concerned about.
I want to buy this knife so bad but i keep hearing that it chips easily why do you guys keep saying that the s30v is super tough when I have heard many professional knife sharpeners say that even when these are new they may come chipped...
Another overpriced knife from a company that can't seem to get their edge grinds right. I'll stick with my spydies if I want an effective well designed cutting tool
I Disagree with you Hans!! I think the handle on the Mel Pardue designed Benchmade 530 is just fine for what it is, It's all about philosophy of use!! Are you kidding me, the Benchmade 530 is not the knife I'm going to be feather stick making/carving or doing hard use tasks with like you suggested. For light EDC tasks the 530's handle is just fine. The issue/problem I see with the new Benchmade 535 is that you made the 535 so light weight and so slim that it's now at the point were it becomes flimsy. Polymer handled knife with CPM-S30V for $115.00 are you kidding me!! Mat Pricing goes up, potential paying customers stop and go away!! Spyderco's have Much better value for what your getting!! I've all ways wondered why can't Benchmade ever be competitive with their prices?
This morning I reviewed some old Blade HQ orders and ran across the mini-Grip I purchased four years ago for $67. Anyone else here remember those good old days?
The ultimate backpacking knife? To be an ultimate backpacking knife has to be a fixed blade... period there is no argument here, you can get fixed blades just as light as that but since they are fixed they are more robust.
Not all hikers want robust knives. Tons of ultralight hikers bring nothing more than a micro-sized swiss army knife or opinel. They're just glorified nail trimmers to open packages and cut loose strings. This gives them a better blade with more capabilities without sacrificing much weight for the upgrade.
got this knife a few months ago and now, I am an absolute fan of it. I have had an experience using Spyderco tenacious before that and was looking to buy paramilitary 2 with some better steel but ended up buying bugout somehow and absolutely happy about that.
The bugout is a great knife, I find it in my pocket more than anything else. It’s slim, comfortable, my only beef: the blade came off center but the action is beautiful regardless.
