BENCHMADE Bugout 535BK

The folding knife of the BENCHMADE brand belongs to the highest price category. The model is made in the United States, provides high-quality materials and quality assembly, plus the product is covered by a limited lifetime warranty. The blade is 82 mm long and 2.3 mm thick at the spine has a popular drop-point profile, which, together with a smooth cutting edge, contributes to the versatility of use.

The blade has a matte finish and is made of CPM-S30V steel - an alloy that was created with the participation of knife maker Chris Reeve. This metal is considered one of the most durable, reliable and productive. The hardness level is declared in the range from 58 to 60 HRC units, which guarantees long-term maintenance of the original sharpness. The handle is made of CF-Elite carbon fiber - a composite whose strength is not inferior to metal.

At the same time, the pads are not afraid of moisture and have a moderate weight (the weight of the product is a modest 51 grams). Other features of the model include a slightly pronounced finger groove for a confident grip, a hole for a lanyard, and a proprietary axis lock, which has the status of one of the most reliable today. It is responsible for blocking the blade and protecting the user's fingers in both the open and closed positions.
