Benchmade Bugout 535BK-07 – 3.24" M390 DLC Drop Point EDC Folding Knife
The Benchmade Bugout 535BK-07 is an elevated version of the outdoor adventurer's go-to EDC pocket knife. It keeps the slim, ultralight Bugout profile while upgrading the materials: eye-catching Burnt Brass anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle scales and a premium M390 stainless blade with a black DLC battlewash finish, accented by a turquoise anodized thumb stud and barrel spacer. Benchmade's AXIS Lock delivers smooth, ambidextrous, one-hand operation, so the 535BK-07 performs as brilliantly at camp as it looks in the pocket. Benchmade builds it in Oregon City, Oregon, and Going Gear is an authorized Benchmade dealer.
