Benchmade, a very well-known US-based knife manufacturer, offers a huge number of products that all make for a great pocket knife. From fixed blades, to automatics, to their signature AXIS-lock manuals, Benchmade’s growing list of options continues to impress. Us at SRKT agree that Benchmade offers one of the largest number of solid everyday carry pocket knives. If you find yourself using your blade multiple times throughout the day, and don’t have a Benchmade yet, you should certainly try one out, as they make a model for everybody.

Released in 2017, the Bugout has made waves in the everday carry pocket knife industry. When released, the knife community was shocked by the mixture of tacticallity, simplicity, and weightlessness behind the Bugout. Many knives have hit the market trying to model the classic Bugout by the US-based company, but the Bugout remains near the top of the Mount Rushmore of EDC knives. Incredibly lightweight, but featuring high-grade materials to get nearly any job done, the Bugout is a knife everybody should own. If you don’t already, the Benchmade Bugout comes in a large number of handle/blade color combos and materials. This new 535BK-2 model comes with a black CF-Elite handle, which comes in even lighter than it’s already lightweight brothers, and a black plain edge CPM-S30V blade. The thumb studs and backspacer are finished black, while the hardware and pocket clip are all black coated as well. This thing is as tactical as tactical gets. Please don’t let the lightness of this knife fool you, it is more than capable. USA made.
