Why You Should Own a Benchmade Bugout  

H

Yup

@@6point5grendel Only fools are happy when they are robbed.

​@@6point5grendelin my country its 300 euro for a benchmade and 190 for the hogue deka

Same people cried about Craftsman Tools moving to China, while standing in Line at Harbor Freight… Stop bitching and just don’t buy it. If you never got it, you never will.

@@peterbaars1218 ​In the US they are $180. Seems weird to form a opinion about price when it's clearly inflated due to import export costs.

Ka bar dozier very similar and easy on the wallet

Buck has some of the best product and warranty 0ut there for an affordable price, if you like traditional knives of course

The shootout is worth having for the name and history

@Freedom1775 The legacy,not the history.

For sure, there's a lot of other great knives out there, but you see...I have a problem, like a sickness I can't help myself. I'm going to buy Weknife, Boker, Spyderco, Finch, Buck, etc... and Benchmade as well. But seriously, there are good reasons to buy Benchmade. They are good knives and have one of the best aftermarkets.

I don't own a bug out yet but I do have an Osborne and a mini grip. I love them both and I like the axis lock a lot, i think everyone Hateing are just people who can't afford these knives or dont wanna bite the bullet to get them. I get that though, had to save for a bit before i got both of them.😕😕

thats what i said till i had it in my hand returned it the same day 😂 beautiful blade and axis lock but with the flimsy ass scales it comes with aint worth the price tbh maybe for under $100 yeah but $170 hell nah i can go find a bad ass CRKT or kershaw with the same features

Return it instead of complaining... they will repair or replace for free as long as the problem was not caused by user error.

@Blue Eyes White Dragon absolutely, and in most cases, I would do exactly that without complaining. But from my experience with Benchmade over the years, they have (or at least have had) a genuine problem with quality control. As a consumer, that is just not cool with me, and I am going to speak up about it.

@@blueeyeswhitedragon9839it’s not excusable for the price of the knife. Benchmade has lost touch with the consumer base.

I handled a bugout one time and thought the same thing. An over 100 dollar knife atleast needs g10 handle.

I agree

​@@brysontrotman5865yeah once you get it home and play with it you soon realize that you got screwed, I know I did. Too thin for my taste and axis lock isn't for me either. Sold the BM and got a spyderco para 3 LW in spy27 steel, now that lives in my pocket on the weekends.

@@chrisblair3081 axis locks have a limited wear life on them too. Lockback will last you until your deathbed (while also being the strongest knife lock type)

@@escapetherace1943 yeah I'm not impressed with the whole omega spring design, bic pens have higher quality springs lol. Also the ergo of it doesn't fit my hand well, I have to fidget it around to get on the release. Compression lock is by far my fav, just easy 1 hand drop close is nice at work.

got me today a CRKT Lck+ reverse tanto tip assisted opening for $30 cuts just as good and is lightweight also a Gerber Scout just a bigger version and a little heavier then the bug out, i personally don’t care for an ultra lightweight knife i need something i can grip onto without feeling like im going to break it like the bug out if they had used micarta scales i wouldve keep my bug out

Stop! You've violated the law! Pay the court your fine or serve your sentence! Your false statement is now meaningless.

@@ThumosTheUnbroken 😂

I saw someone put the sheepsfoot spydie hole mini grip blade onto a Bugout and it works

Interesting

Same here. My old 154CM mini griptilian get carried more than even though it is not my favorite blade. It is the most convenient to use though.

Thank you! My exact sentiments.

@@dannyfrog Even aftermarket still usually isn't cheap

@@MacaqueStinx there's a new folder knife from Benchmade for $600!!!! You can buy an AR-15 for that price. Ridiculous.

Get it trust me. I've been buying Benchmade knives since '97 and held out forever with all hype surrounding the Bugout but once finally bought one was super glad did and wished had sooner tbh. Probably own 18+ Benchmade knives currently

@DieselDabz710 I love their blades, I just beat the crap out of my knives. My only doubt would be the lighter handles on the bugout. My Barrage has taken a beating for years and is none the less for the abuse. Not one of those guys who doubt their quality, I just know what I do to a knife.

Both dieseldabz and frogking below have bought into marketing hype(buying whatever they made since '97), and frogking loves blade quality with flimsy handles(save costs), means poor resilience in nature. Don't be fooled,scammed by the artificial sounding bugout.

Deka is great but also different

It is!

Deka is awesome knife and several amazing blade steels like 20CV, Magnacut etc..

@@dieseldabz7104 exactly! It's cheaper (slightly) and it has a trim of ostensibly "better chemistry" steel with similar USA made warranties

@@dieseldabz7104 I meant for scales and such! I’ve got one in magnacut and it’s awesome, just need more aftermarket for it. Rcbladeworks has some awesome scales but it’s hard to pay the same for scales as you did for the whole knife

​@@Jefreeman13 Original Goat! I have their scales on my Magnacut Deka.

Na bro. Overpriced pieces of flimsy crap.

Not a lot of companies are willing to pick up magnacut. It's such a new steel too being less than a year old. Spiderco has a few good options for their salt line but they aren't flippers.

Get what pay for..$20 cheap Chinese knife that won't hold edge and probably break in 1/2 if actually put to hard work which is dangerous. Rather buy 1 $100 knife then 5 $20 knives but that's just me..

​@@dieseldabz7104 except a Bugout is $180.

@@lvbuckeye same analogy.

But you buy shit from China..Makes total sense..Bet your on Tik Tok as well, ALSO China..

Benchmade did help Oregon City police cut up some "bought back" or sized weapons. While I don't support them in doing that, they aren't anti police, military or anti 2nd. Benchmade does give money to the NRA and the GOA, like we all should . I don't support the NRA, but I am a member of GOA. Benchmade gives military and police discounts as well as supply knives to deployed Marines ( I know that from personal experience). Did they step on some toes? Yeah, they did. They kinda bit the hand that feeds them. But it's not like they donate money to anti gun lobbys or the DNC. Benchmade also does a lot in support of our 2nd.

Bench made is anti 2nd amendment??

@@rrf6747 it started in California as Balisong and Benchmade landed in Oregon for it's debut. Yep

​@@Lemon_Sage9999 damn ok well chalk up another company i won't do business with. Ill be sure to spread the word. Thanks

The buyout does have lighter weight "cheaper" feeling handles, I'll agree. I own 4 benchmades, but I don't own a bugout because of the light weight handles.

Nope and I'm also Spyderco fan and owner. Bugouts a great lightweight knife for sure especially depending which variant you get with whatever blade steel

​@@thefrogking481 Get Carbon Fiber version or put aftermarket scales on it for dirt cheap, or buy a custom Bugout online from several licensed dealers

@@dieseldabz7104 you've been bamboozled by the butterfly. BBTB.

@DieselDabz710 I've looked into them, and tbe aftermarket scales. One thing we'll both agree on, benchmade makes knives we can agree on, and some not as much.

Yes they did thats why I buy the spyderco pm2 instead better company better knives.

That's why I like my Hogue Deka!

I'm assuming you don't own any Smith & Wessons, Colts, Springfield Armorys, Rock River arms, Rugers, etc... . All of these gun companies have sold out the 2A at some point or in Bill Rugers case simply didn't believe in it.

Exactly. I have one in magnacut.
