In this video, I compare several different versions of the Benchmade Bugout and discuss steel and handle material differences (including carbon fiber, G10, titanium, aluminum, and grivory). In this video are the following models (535GRY-1 with Rockscale design Titanium scales, backspacer, and hardware, 535FE2101 SMKW Exclusive, 535-3, and 535-4).

Been EDC a base bugout for 4 years and very happy with it. Thinking about upgrading scales but likely will just keep carrying as is because it's a fantastic knife.

I just bought the aircraft aluminum bugout, already knicked myself... barely touched the blade during closing and it got me... what did i learn? Extremely sharp! Beautiful knife, nice ergo's, very lightweight, just a quality knife all around. The m390 will come in handy considering im a cardboard killer, it will see alot of use. Thanks for the comparison.

I have the OD green S30V Bugout. Has the most pocket time out of my other knives across different brands. I swapped out the Grivory scales for the same Rockscale titanium handles in this video, but ultimately ended up swapping back to the Grivory because I just appreciate the original model from Benchmade. However I’ve been longing for the M390 version. Dutch Bushcraft Knives has a great video where they absolutely torture that thing and it handles everything like a champ. Plus it just looks special compared to the other versions if you ask me. I’ll still hang on to my original Bugout because it’s been very reliable. IMO it’s the best EDC knife that money can buy, but to each their own.

I purchased the 535gry-1 model. I am pleasantly surprised. I have always used larger knives, such as a Griptilian Bone collector edition, or a Manix 2 G10 model and recently a 940-2. This knife has quickly become my EDC. Does everything I need it to on a daily basis. Fits great in my extra large hand, I wear XXL gloves. The blade is a super cutter, and the flex in the handle is not noticeable while actually gripping it. Just keeps cutting and cutting with minimal stropping. It has unexpectedly surpassed any expectations I had for it. If you are on the fence of purchasing I say go for it.

As a knife collector and an Amazon vine member (free stuff for review), I get soooo many cardboard boxes delivered to my house and have never once "broke down a box" by cutting it into little pieces. I cut the tape, and fold it flat... I absolutely hate when knife reviewers make it seem like julienneing cardboard is going to male it any easier to deal with that just flattening it out... for abrasive tests, sure... I guess, but ain't no employer paying 15-20 dollars an hour for some silly employees to dull their knives. That being said, I love collecting blades and completely understand why someone would feel the need to justify that new expensive piece...

Hey! I was the shoe coordinator at a tjx affiliated store (I’m not a spokesperson), but we cut off the tops of shoe boxes that are connected. For me, I also fish and hunt. I definitely get mileage outside of when I used to use it when I processed shoes, but the bugout feels more nice in my hand than a utility knife. I heard the fastbacks are good, but I dont process shoes anymore and I turned knife collecting into a hobby anyways :)

I got the M390 version for a demo knife to demonstrate for my sharpening service I want to provide. I put an 18 degree bevel on it and spent some extra time with ceramic and the strop. It got a really nice edge on it. It easily shaves facial hair and cuts paper towels pretty clean. I'm pretty happy with this little knife.

I handled a basic Bugout several months ago and just wasn’t impressed with it. It felt cheap. I get that they wanted it to be lightweight but the perception of poor quality killed it for me. Then came the aluminum one with the black coated blade and the red accents and it was worth checking out just for the aesthetics alone. Now it’s my favorite Benchmade knife. Funny how a change of handle materials can change the knife so much for me. *Edit to add* I’m listening to this at work so I was mainly just listening, but when you brought the Deadlock out I instantly recognized the sound of the deployment. Mine arrived yesterday and I spent most of the evening playing with it.

I have an original S30 which has always been great. Picked up the M390 at Bass Pro 5-ish months ago and it’s absolutely fantastic. I just got the s90v a couple weeks ago, and it’s great too. I’m overly addicted to sharpening and my current rig is a tsprof k03. As far as the M390 vs S90v so far they are functionally identical. Neither seems to take any longer than the other to sharpen on the K03, and the edge retention difference is negligible. Gun to my head I don’t think it matters which one you buy, they are both great. I’d recommend just buying whichever one you think looks better, or whichever one has the best sale.

Thanks for doing this video. I was hoping for something like that. I have to say I disagree a bit with your assessment of M4 toughness. It really is a very tough steel. 3V, 8670, 80c are toughness freaks, but barring those and a few others, M4 is crazy tough, and there are variables of course, as with all steels. Great video
@eddielittleii8919
@eddielittleii8919 2 года назад
Yes, I agree. Titanium is a premium component and has enhanced weight reduction, and scratch resistance. Handle materials being used in today's knives don't corrode, so no tangable improvement there. It costs more than aluminum yes, but knives that are in use get scuffed & scratched on the blade anyhow. I like the benefits that Titanium brings to quality, but for the investment and practicality in preformance I'm okay with stainless steel, or aluminium scales. Good video IIIxE. Thanks
@osafoca
@osafoca 2 года назад
Titanium is heavier than aluminum. The aluminum on this scale looks really good, so with it's weight reduction it's the best choice. Titanium would be a downgrade.

No pocketknife of this size needs more than S30V steel. I've used the hell out of S30V (and 154CM on a mini grip) and it held an edge for a long time. 3-4 passes on a smooth stone and it's back to super sharp, when it needs it.

Super steels are overblown. But that doesn’t mean I still won’t buy them and appreciate them! But yes, for most people 154CM is more than sufficient.
@insanogeddon
@insanogeddon 6 месяцев назад
Nothing wrong with the bugout as an EDC jewelry thing but not as a work knife. With a work knife it is simple: 1. Coatings wear eventually, and you likely don't want to be eating them, so get stonewash as it reflects less and doesn't show prints/marks/scratches like a polish. 2. Can you whittle for a straight half hour with it? If you can do work with it without pain. hotspots, or hand fatigue accidents. (the Bugout can't like most 'easy cleaning' gap in handle blades). 3. Easy sharpening is key there is no way you break down boxes at paid work speed and volume w/o hitting a staple or something worse. 4. Super steels are for stealing money from show ponies. 5. Choose an easy sharpening steel with some history otherwise when it breaks, they will if there work knives eventually, the shatter pattern and shrapnel or failure is likely not that bad unless you're really unlucky. - As far as working steels 14C28N Stainless Steel is better than any of the above for a work knife or even 12C27 stainless steel like Mora uses or the no name stainless Victorinox uses that every fish trawler on earth pretty much uses for their handfuls of boat knives. Anything that sharpens in seconds with little skill and even no kit (hell use a window edge that is down) and won't fail in catastrophic ways is what you want working unless you like ambulances and time not getting paid.

@TripleEEDC
@TripleEEDC Год назад
In my opinion, splitting hairs between the weights of Micarta, G10, and CF will cause people to disproportionately value weight when we’re talking fractions of an ounce difference but major difference in feel of each one mostly unrelated to weight. If you need the weights, they are all between 1.8 ounces and 2.5 ounces from the factory with CF-elite (not CF being the lightest at 1.8 ounces. The regular Grivory one is just under 2 ounces and the CF one is just over 2 ounces. The G10 one (except for the BHQ exclusive) is a little over 2.2 ounces. The aluminum one is 2.5 ounces. I also assume most people would know that aluminum is the heaviest out of the bunch. The titanium scales are after-market so I don’t know how much those weigh.

You need something with a lot of edge retention and some level of corrosion resistance since you deal with frozen foods and outdoor truck deliveries (at least until you get the products inside) in different kinds of weather. The good news: there are many steels which are good for edge retention. The bad news: many of them are hard to sharpen unless you have a good system (like KME or Wicked Edge) and a little practice sharpening. If you have a good sharpening set, the following steels are excellent and the edge will last a while without being too brittle or too rust-prone (if cared for correctly): magnacut, S90V, Elmax, M390, 20CV, 204P, 4V, and Cruwear (this one is better coated if you are in wet environments a lot). However, most of these are not as easy to sharpen without a proper diamond sharpening system. It may sound weird but if you’re not good at sharpening at the moment, your best bet may be to stick with S30V or 154CM/CPM-154 until you get good at sharpening as these are not only easier to sharpen but less time-consuming to sharpen. With how many boxes you open due to your job, steel choice is not a question of whether you’ll sharpen but how often you will sharpen and how long each sharpening session will take.

If you’re constantly cutting and your diamond stone are good, some good S90V can go a long way. I’d recommend something thin but not super thin and must have a stout edge for your purposes. The S90V Bugout, S90V mini Freek, and TRM Neutron would be good choices for smaller options. For larger options, Spyderco Native 5 (in one of the above-mentioned steels), the M4 Freek with the coated blade, hogue Ritter RSK in 20CV, the Spyderco Shaman (in one of the above-mentioned steels), Spyderco Manix 2 (in one of the above-mentioned steels), and TRM Atom are great options. Worth noting: I did not put the Spyderco Paramilitary 2 or Para 3 on this list due to the combined aggressive taper and flat grinds. They are excellent at cutting boxes but the tips are relatively this and you may be cutting pallet straps and other things repetitively enough that I’d worry about the blade snaking near the hole or the tip snapping. Yes, people have done torture testing on those modes but you don’t see people posting snapped blades of stouter models and you do see them posting them of these two models.

@@TripleEEDC I don't think they are Dimond. What do you think about work sharp systems. Would they be worth the Investment. Or should I invest in Dimond stones bc the stones I use are just old school stone we have at work. Have to use oil on them I don't know the grit. Like I said not a knife guy. To me they are just Tools however I know that you get what you pay for My dad was a Mechanic so I know you have to suck it up and spend some money to keep your Tools maintain.

@@bmft5884 if I may add to triple e edc's reply another knife option could be the Sig Sauer K320 it comes in S30V and you can get it with a coated blade or the knifecenter exclusive has a stonewashed blade. I have a bunch of the worksharp products and the field sharpener, bench stone with tri abrasives, or the guided field sharpener will great with any of the aforementioned steels.

I keep seeing/hearing one odd thing in these reviews. Why alu. and the statement here for instance that it too is relatively light as well. Uh, Huge gorilla in the room and the common misconception. Ti. is roughly one half the weight of ss steel for scales. No one sees to realis that Alu. is roughly one half the weight of Ti.. and this gets completely missed again and again. And of course the CF scales are substantially lighter that any of the others. I prefer Ti. for several reasons. One, being diabetic, I have a bit of loss of feeling in my finger tips and my Osborne 940-1 is simply too light for decent control. I do have a limited production Ti. scaled numbered 904 in the Ti. scales, and even though it is quite expensive and most have them as mostly safe queens, mine is my user and will continue to be so. Love the look, feeling in the hand, and if scratched, I can simply re-bead blast the scales and they look good as new. so now you have anther valid reason for Why alu.! KnifeMaker

I purchased an SMKW exclusive Bugout with Ti scales. The blade rub was so bad, it couldn’t be brought back to even near center. I don’t know if the scales were put on by Benchmade or SMKW, but it was ridiculous. Sure, aluminum is an alternative to titanium. But, a near 5 year old design with M390 and aluminum scales for $234? Nope, they can keep it. Give me the Ti. At least Ti has a good raw material value.

I highly doubt 9 knives from Benchmade (even thin ones like the bugout) all “fell apart” unless you were batoning with them, in which case you’d deserve it for batoning with a light duty edc knife. Also, Zach from Zach’s Stuff did a torture test on the bugout and it stood up way better than expected. Also, why buy so many bugouts if they fell apart on you?
