That was pretty hard to watch, but you have instilled more confidence I now have for my Bugout.

@carlosgarcia6393 3 года назад

That was horrible to watch but now I know it can handle the kind of work I need it to do lol.

@tiny5214 3 года назад

I was thinking of buying a bug out and wanted to How durable it was and now I’m definitely going to buy one

@lagalot05 Год назад

cringeeee lol nice video 👍

@rayzzee7689 5 лет назад

That’s one hell of a knife, excellent post. This is the way a knife should be tested.

@Alumapro23 5 лет назад

Cool vid. Should finally shut up every person that claims the knife self-destructs when you look at it because of the “flex” and “cheap” scales. 👍👍

@zachstuff 5 лет назад

Thanks Alchemy! I wanted to show this knife will take a lot and just because the handles flex, it won’t let you down! Appreciate your feedback and support!

*cough* Wranglerstar

@zachstuff 5 лет назад

OspreyBravo18 you should watch my previous Bugout videos which came before what Wrangler posted. Thanks for watching!

@jerrybobteasdale 5 лет назад

No. It's not rugged enough for that price. The light weight is great, but I'd prefer to have a heavier knife that I trusted more. I'm sure the blade is very good steel. The action appears fine. I can get a cheap knife that will do light weight jobs just as well as this Bugout, and apply the savings toward another tool. That plastic handle with no metal liner or metal frame relegates it to tasks that are less demanding. That's too much money for that level of usefulness.

@jerrybobteasdale 5 лет назад

Wranglerstar was right.

@lifenature5463 4 года назад

I only ordered one a couple of days ago. It should arrive early next week. Very happy to see that this small light knife can withstand such abuses, which, by the way, I will never subject it. Thank you for the helpful video.

The Bugout was like “quit using me for shit I shouldn’t be used for *bites hand*”

@zachstuff 3 года назад

No doubt!! Thanks Casey!

@Usernamenotrecognized01 5 лет назад

Just received a Bugout for my birthday as was a little worried after reading reviews in which people made the knife sound weak. After getting the knife in hand let me tell you any worry I had has been put to rest. The knife is solid as can be and your video further proves this point. If you are on the fence about this knife trust me it’s well worth it.

@ringbadingbingrading1181 3 года назад

Nice to see YOU do that to your knife and not me to mine. Nice to see it could take that abuse. Thanks for the video. I'm getting one next week

@TheRealChetManley 4 года назад

I wanted to thumbs down this as these are examples of everything you do not want to do with your knife. It's painful to watch, but I'm impressed with how this knife held up. Should be fine for my day to day tasks of opening packaging and slicing apples.

@monsterslayer4317 3 года назад

Let's drive this Honda Civic over this pile of cinderblocks and see if it breaks... What you SHOULD expect from the 535 Bugout: a super lightweight tool that cuts efficiently, doesn't rust easily, and stays sharp a long time. What you SHOULD expect if you pry with a thin stainless steel knife blade: it will break. What you SHOULD expect if you beat a Bugout with a hammer: the edge will chip, and the liners will bend.

@RR9sf 3 года назад

Fr…People act like knife should be the only tool for everything. For an “EDC”, it has more durability than we would ever need. Everytime someone says that “a cheaper knife is a lot tougher than bugout,” I just tell them that an axe is even stronger than any knife, what’s their point?

@Arnerse 2 года назад

We appreciate your sacrifices

@sexytopramen 3 года назад

Just returned a 940 to cabelas, I didn't like the black scales/stainless blade look, honestly just looks like a cheap steak knife to me when it's open. Decided to grab one of these bugout knives instead and holy crap I didn't expect it to be able to take this much punishment. My normal work duties shouldn't strain this thing in the slightest. Thanks for really pushing this thing to the limits and putting my mind at ease.

@RaymondRios 3 года назад

Awesome knife review and knife testing. This is how a knife review should be. Testing all aspects of the knife in different situations. I like the bonus of a flesh wound.. Every knife owner knows what I mean because we've all been there. Great job.👍

@tuckers236 5 лет назад

Man that is one beasty blade, I’m starting to really like that knife even though I don’t have one😂 Looks amazing and you can’t go wrong with a Benchmade!

@gregwalker4236 3 года назад

damn, that's some testing, subscribed. i ordered this knife before i saw your video and now that i have seen the video, i'm stoked. this should put to bed a lot of crap i ignored earlier. i wouldn't put any of my extremely hard use carpentry tools thru this on purpose, although i never carried a pocket knife in my tool bag--only razor knives with disposable blades....

I think that when people said stand on it, they meant open it. Put it on blocks with enough space for your foot to fall into, and then stand on the knife over the gap.

@theartshow1476 2 года назад

Yeah the lock bar on those axis locks are stout for sure but I’ve had omega springs break in both my mini grip and 940, and I certainly never beat it with a hammer lol. Benchmades would be worth it to me if the omega springs weren’t such an inherent design flaw in the long term. And if you plan on using a benchmade for fishing, you better keep those springs oiled on a regular basis! It sucks because the blades are great…

After only a few days of pocket carry and normal use I badly chipped my Bugout’s blade. I returned it to Benchmade for repairs. About 5 weeks later it was returned back in mint condition(at no cost to me). I’ve been hesitant to carry ever since it’s return. Thanks to your video I’ll try giving it some pocket time again.

@Osprey1994 5 лет назад
