The Benchmade Bugout 535GRY-1 is an exceptionally popular, ultralight everyday carry (EDC) folding knife built primarily for outdoor adventurers, hikers, and tactical use. This specific variation trades the bright blue aesthetic of the original model for a muted, tactical colorway designed to blend into any environment.
- Premium Blade Steel: Features a 3.24-in. drop-point blade made of CPM-S30V stainless steel (hardened to 58-60 HRC). S30V offers remarkable edge retention, corrosion resistance, and structural toughness.
- Discreet Blade Finish: The blade is coated in a durable, matte smoke gray chromium nitride finish (often referred to or treated similarly to a tactical gray Cerakote) to protect against rust and suppress reflections.
- Ultralight Handle Scales: Made of Ranger Green Grivory (a glass-reinforced nylon). The scales feature a textured diamond pattern for a secure grip and are hollowed out internally to reduce mass.
- Ambidextrous Operation: Equipped with dual tan-anodized aluminum thumb studs and Benchmade's signature AXIS Lock mechanism, making it entirely ambidextrous and buttery smooth to flick open or close with one hand.
- Discreet Deep Carry: Includes a reversible, tip-up mini deep-carry pocket clip with a matching smoked gray coating, allowing the knife to completely disappear into a pocket.
