Fix the Benchmade Bailout in one simple step! 

As a former volunteer firefighter, the most effective glass breaker I have used, other than a Halligen Bar, was a simple automatic center punch!

I've got a true knife glass breaker story. Everytime i carried the knife the glass breaker poked me in my side. They have no reason to be on a knife, and are only there for the tacicool crowd.

Man that butterfly had a huge spine ......or tiny wings

Gotta hit the thumbs up for the FF9 music (Eiko’s theme) 7:35

been using my 3V one daily for a year now. Got it and found some used aluminum scales for it so it looks like an M4 one. The pommel is at least comfy not like the glass breaker. been a great knife and serves as my main user. A small amount of the blade coating is wearing off from hard use at this point.

I use glass breakers on my knives, not to free people or myself from a car roll over as I think it’s not a tool for that, but I do use them.. sometimes for breaking glass, sometimes for breaking other things. I personally think they’re useful. Lmao but I love your videos man keep it up please

cool review but I cant believe you defiled that mega range with a non-stick pan

Benchmade: We need to improve our knives to justify high price! Let’s add a glass breaker. Customer: Idiots!

I’ve used the glass breaker on the back of my 917 many time for extrication. Yes I do have many other tools at my disposal. But It’s always in my gear and can be accessed quickly, plus it’s easy to control over penetration into the passenger compartment of a vehicle. So you don’t risk smacking meemaw in the dome with a halligan spike.

I've scoured the internet for stories about anyone using the strobe feature on a flashlight. Never found one.

I mean, I agree, the glass breaker is dumb, but there are no hot spots because of it...

Omelet! I've used a glassbreaker at work a few times.

"Glass breakers on knives are stupid and stop putting them on there fuuuuuu!" Made me actually lol 😆

That omlette is AMAZING!!! 😛

Pretty hard to maintain a one way parasocial relationship with this upload schedule tbh

I like it. It can be used for other things besides breaking glass

Why the big fuss, could not care less if it was there or not. I'll use glassbreakers to cut tape on boxes just quicker easier and doesnt get the blade sticky

The soil in your yard is terrible. You should set up a compost system. I agree with you about the glass breaker.

If you got a red backspacer and yellow thumbstuds that would really start to get that boba fett look... Kind of tempted now.

New knife in the mail AND a new Pete upload in the same day. It’s gonna be a good week my dudes lol

Bout time somebody called out those manufacturers over their glass breaker addiction. Been buying & using knives for more decades than I want to admit. Never had to break windows. Quit putting that pokey stuff on my side of the handle. Loved seeing Ada.

I couldn't agree more regarding ridiculous glass breakers.

Came for the glass breaker rant, stayed for the pan to plate flip. Been looking but no other knifetuber has demonstated effective technique for defence against loaded soda cans. Thanks Pete.

Pete: omeeeeeega Me, a stupid yank: Whomst?

I hate glass breakers on knives with the intensity of 1000 suns 🤓

So when a knives has a bottle opener like the Civivi Qubit everybody likes it but when they put a glassbreaker at a Bailout knife. The names says it all, people think it’s foolish? I don’t need one but I’m sure happy when I need one someday and it’s on my edc knife in my pocket.

Introduction is way too long. I didn’t come here to watch you cook. If you are too sissy that it hurts your hand. Get rid of it. But that is not a fix for everyone. Mine on my shoot out is just fine. Haven’t hurt my lil hand yet. And a glass breaker that is useful is the one you have on you at the time you need it.

I guess I’m weird, but the glass breaker doesn’t bother me. I couldn’t care less if it’s there or not, and I’m certainly not going to spend money and time to get rid of it. The Bailout is one of my favorite Benchmade knives since I got the M4 version. Never thought I’d have a tanto as an EDC, but it’s a lot more useful than I expected. Btw if the glass breaker ever starts bothering me the way it seems to bother so many, I’ll just take it to the belt sander and be rid of it.

Awesome. A bloody funny smorgasbord of domestic life skills with a knife review thrown in. Thanks

I'm sorry, my mind wanders, but you got a heck of an echo going on in your kitchen. Thanks for the review!

The bailout is ment to be a bugout for first responders and military who use glass breakers semi frequently. I think it works as a good full sized back up knife for first responders/Military because of its light weight and thin profile. If you hate the glass breaker on the bailout, I suggest getting a bugout. The glass breaker is a great tool to have on your knife as a back up for your dedicated tools. I love my bailout for that reason, it’s a good back up to my Letherman raptor.

I love glass breakers on knives, I've worked in the emergency industry for many years, I stopped needing a dedicated glass breaker as my Benchmade Triage did just as good a job and more fun, so.... dont stop putting glass breakers on knives, should have zero effect on being comfortable, its at the end of the handle and out of the way, fark people whinge.

Literally never had an issue with the glass breaker. It's not uncomfortable. No hot-spots , nothing .... unless you have little girls hands...😅

This was very refreshing (the glass-breaker rant). And the video brought back two memories. One, setting up the 10mm poly for my garden in Rockhampton. And Two, I used to buy those purpose-made glass-breaker/seatbelt cutter tools that mounted on a door pillar or wherever you reckon is a good spot. The moulded clamp held the tool really well and the glass hammer and the belt cutter were tools that really worked, because they weren't half-size add-ons to another tool.

I disagree. First of all, the glass breaker does not bother me; it doesn't get in the way, probably because the handle is pretty long (I have L/XL hands). 2nd: your theory about specialized people having specialized tool is correct, however everyone might end up in a situation where breaking glass is a must. A communication accidents or trapped animals in vehicles happen and car windows are rather tough to break without a tool. There are plenty of videos showing how easy it is to brake glass with a dedicated glass breakers - including the ones on knives. I wouldn't even call it `tactical` - if I witness a car accident while I'm out for groceries it means I'm `tactical`? On the other hand - do I want to carry a dedicated glass breaker as an everyday carry? M4 Bailout is a great edc knife that carries light and slim, and it has a bonus glass breaker that doesn't interfere with my comfort of making a sandwich. And for that I really like it as a whole.

ive noticed far less talking to bricks in the content lately.

I gotta finish Persona 5, were you playing that or moved on to Strikers? I was wondering if I could remove the little glass breaker nub on my favorite low budget knife, Sanrenmu 9031 roller bearing champ.BTW, over/ under 25 on the times Pete says AL-YOU-MINIUM :-D

You missed the much more important reason to omit that glass breaker. So, Benchmade is *STILL* showing (well earned???) disrespect to their customers??? Actually using that glass breaker can cause failure of the Axis lock. This is an issue that Benchmade *should* be well aware of by now ... not that Benchmade cares ...

Benchmade must make hundreds of knives/SKUs...maybe 2-4 have glass breakers...Benchmade and it’s designers are not the problem here....plenty of knives out there will cut your bags of soil and zip ties...not too hard to select a tool for the job without those pesky “hot spots”

Pete, I love you and all your content but I gotta disagree and just make 1 amendment! The only manufacturer that produces good, non obtrusive glass breakers is Microtech. The Tungsten carbide ball bearing is smooth and never really a hotspot. Other than that I do agree, Benchmade includes their glass breakers as pretty much an after thought. On my Outlast it's fine but on my Contego it's INCREDIBLY uncomfortable.

True! I'm a professional firemans for 14 years and carry a cheap 3 euros dedicated glassbreaker in my suit pocket. If I fall to the sea in my car I'll just open the window to get out before the water get to it. If I passed out, well, it wont matter. And if I wake up? That just not gonna happen... Sry peeps...

Greetings from NorCal (Northern California, Green Day sector). New to the channel, where is this guy from? Seems like Oz judging from the terrain but I could be wrong. Anyway I like his vibe.

Now Pete, I know it'll be hard to take me serious with my profile pic, HOWEVER, as a fulltime paramedic for the last 7 years I've used the Benchmade 915 triage as my edc blade. The 915 triage has a glass breaker on it and It does its job quite well, if I'm going to shit on something its all those stupid fucking "ReScUe HoOkS" those things are fucking useless, they dont hold an edge and are a pain to sharpen, it's easier just to sharpen the main blade and use it for things like airbags and seatbelts, pending my mood determines if I use my knife or my trauma shears [yes I have a pair of leatherman raptors and that's a whole different ass story in its self]. I'll say in a knife designed with frequent use of the breaker in mind, its not a horrible addition, but for generic knives to just have it on them to be a selling point of sorts is stupid.

Terrible video. Nothing worse than a reviewer reviewing a product that didn’t fit his needs in the first place. It called a Bailout for a reason. If you didn’t want the features of a Bailout then why buy it in the first place. Never noticed a hotspot on the knife unless you are using it to punch holes in paint cans or something. This ain’t my first rodeo with knives with glass breakers. I extracted a guy out of a burning car 25 miles out of Houston with a Benchmade Triage. I bet the guy was happy that I had it and that it had a glass breaker.

Who do those (very large) vertebrae belong to? I found this vid very informative. I had NO idea that Australians ate omelettes. Also, had never heard another man say “Touch it up on my pants”… I like it. Next time I’m at a bus stop and need to strop a blade - I may just ask a gentleman nearby if I may “touch it up on his pants”. I foresee a positive outcome.

I really don't understand why anyone would buy a overpriced benchmade. If it was like $60 for a bugout then ok but $150 is robbery. The bailout I don't trust because of benchmade lame heat treatment then the Chris Reeves excuse we left it soft so it is easier to sharpen. Man what a con. I like to buy American but I refuse to be treated like a idiot so they can make a few Xtra bucks. The simple truth make a great product for a good price people will buy it. But companies nowadays like to see how many suckers they can get.

I have a glass breaker story for you. I bought a Kershaw knife with a glass breaker and I had to try it out. I was at the time a volunteer fire fighter so I carried that Kershaw for months and tried it out first chance I got. My dumb ass didn't put a glove on and cut the fuck out of my hand. That was the first and last time. An axe works way better lol.

I don't agree that having a glass breaker on knives is stupid. I think it is nice that some knives have one and thus allow you the option. That being said, the "glass breaker" on that knife doesn't look like a very good one. It looks more like a bottle opener. A good glass breaker is just a small and somewhat sharp nub that protrudes from the end of the handle and stays out of the way.

I don't mind it, don't notice it myself. I've used it one time to open a jar of pickles I couldn't open. It pokes a nice little hole in lid. Although I'd rather not have it, the knife looks better without it..

Ebic

i think microtech puts a glass breaker on their knives as a legal thing..maybe in case of some court case it could be considered a glass breaker rather than a knife. i have no idea but that’s my theory. in the same way brass knuckles are sold as “paper weights” cuz of some little nibs

With the price of a benchmade it shouldn’t need to be modified or just buy something else

I’m in the fire service and my bench made is the only knife I have that the glass breaker works.

I am totally confused with your channel I don't understand which way you're going with it Also have fun sharpening at tanto

ummm.... couldn't you just grind the glass breaker point off and then not have to pay for a new back spacer?

I removed my glass breaker too and ground that Tanto into a drop point and it magically became what the Bugout should have always been 😂

idk benchmade, made omelets. what the fuck did I just watch. Great review.

All jokes aside Pete, would love to know what your thoughts are on the M4 over the 3V version. Have you ever had your hands on Benchmade's 3V?

Spyderco doesn't cater to the LARPers like the other companies do, and that makes me happy.

Tantos are just so ugly and awkward to use. Can't get into them. Good looking omlette though.

Woah woah "a device such as this"???? Dude it's called a spatula! Holy hell man.

HEY! That's not what an omega spring looks lie!🤔🤔🤔😳

Here’s my glass breaker on a knife story: Yeah. I got nothin’

16 minutes and you don't actually show how to remove it. Ok then.

Great video, that Persona 5 music and gameplay 🥰

I put titanium scales on my 3v version but kept the lanyard on it

I like the cooking part. You are, after all, the Cate Blanchett of your Aussie omelette.

Love the review, but you overcooked the shit outta that omelette. Damn.

Reminds me of all those crappy m tech tacticiool mall ninja knives

I came for the Martha Stewart video and a Benchmade review broke out.

too bad every legitimate backspacer online is sold out

all we need are carbone Omeeega springs and they would never fail

Stabs sodas needlessly, complains about a glass breaker that is part of the name of the knife. There are knives of the same size with glass breakers there that I forget about, there’s definitely no hot spot, or is your job just indoor related and that’s why you notice it so “terribly”? Would think the cut tests with the rope strengthen your hand.

That can of Coke reminded me of one of my favorite movies..."The Coca-Cola Kid" from the early 1980s.

At first I thought you were saying Amiga spring, but I guess that's before your time as a gamer.

Hey Pete, @ 6:02, I assume you are cutting the stump of some tasty broccoli to throw it away? If that's so, I just wanted to let you know that you can eat the stump just like you can eat the rest of the vegetable, you don't have to throw it away. Of course, only if you want to. But yeah, it tastes literally the same as the rest, just a bit crunchier :)

My bugout had the aluminium scales from the cheaper China one I bought years before...love the real bugout blade on thoughts scales its a rock

Was I supposed to be aroused with that pic of the omega spring?

The real life rescuers used pens with glass breakers like mine, you need to use the search terms "pen" and "hero"

Lets be real for a moment. There are worse places than Johns house.

I was in a roll over my heal of my foot was my glass breaker

Glass breaker? I though it was a skull breaker 😅

Ok, but now you're going to need to review the VIctorinox Rescue tool!

Who cares about the knife, look at that beautiful omelette!!

If you want a glass breaker, steal one from bus or train

As soon as the picture of the omega spring popped up, I was instantly reminded of how immature I am... lololololol

i dont like the green color on the aluminium and the glass breaker other then that it would be my perfect benchmade honestly

Thank you for the video Pete ❗ great job as always😊👍

Where did you get the back spacer?

Regular pointy glass breakers I agree are STUPID. The one on the back of my bailout I wouldn’t consider a standard glass breaker more of a bar that I actually use often for prying, opening bottles and hitting/ hammering things.

How do you now open your beer?

No glass breakers! Unless you are a Microtech Bounty Hunter, then you're badass.

Where is the the JapaKnives review? We need it.

hope your far away from the floods mate!

The glass breaker works though…

Will remove and replace.🇨🇦

EVERYBODY NEEDS a glass breaker... lol

Wait you're Australian?

I feel violated by the choice of music. But since it’s your video, I apparently enjoyed the experience. Keep up the great work bud

I had an omega spring fail in my bugout, and I dont know how it happened, it just felt extra weak when I pulled it out after carrying it all day, then my knife was shutting weird and somehow the blade cut through the spring... I replaced the springs with a little thicker guage after market omegas and have had no problem since then. The axis lock is so much fun.
