Benchmade Mini Bugout 533BK-2 – 2.82" CPM-S30V Black Drop-Point Folding Knife
The Benchmade Mini Bugout 533BK-2 is the blacked-out, ultralight version of the mini everyone loves. It wraps a 2.82" black-coated CPM-S30V drop-point blade in rugged CF-Elite handle scales and still tips the scale at only 1.5 ounces. Like every benchmade mini bugout, it opens and closes one-handed on the smooth AXIS lock, so it is quick to deploy and just as quick to put away. The CF-Elite handle gives you a grippy, carbon-look finish that is tougher and lighter than standard nylon. Going Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer.
