Bugout

The Bugout is built around a simple idea: a knife you forget is in your pocket until you need it. At roughly 1.8 ounces with a slim half-inch handle profile, it's the everyday folder that earns its place on the scales — light enough for backcountry pack lists, slim enough for dress slacks, dependable enough for daily pocket duty. The ambidextrous AXIS lock deploys the blade with a smooth, confident action that feels the same on the thousandth opening as the first, and the reversible deep-carry clip keeps the knife tucked low and out of the way until called on. Made in Benchmade's Oregon City facility and backed by the LifeSharp lifetime service program, the Bugout is built to be carried — and to outlast the trips you take it on.

Ultralight Everyday Carry
Weighs just 1.8 oz (51 g). One of the lightest premium everyday-carry folders Benchmade makes — disappears in a pocket or pack.
Slim Pocket Profile
Handle thickness of just 0.42" (10.67 mm). Slides flat against the body for low-bulk carry in jeans, slacks, or pack straps.
AXIS Lock Mechanism
Benchmade's ambidextrous AXIS lock uses spring-loaded assist bars for smooth, consistent one-handed opening and secure lockup. Fully ambidextrous for left- and right-handed users.
Drop-Point Blade
Versatile drop-point profile balances tip control and belly for everyday cutting tasks — boxes, rope, food prep, and field utility.
Mini Deep-Carry Pocket Clip
Reversible tip-up clip carries the knife low in the pocket for discreet, snag-free carry. Removable for left- or right-handed configuration.
Lanyard Hole
Integrated lanyard attachment point at the rear of the handle for tethering, extended retention, or paracord customization.
Made in USA
Manufactured at Benchmade's Oregon City, Oregon facility. American-made quality with rigorous tolerances and tight QC.
LifeSharp Lifetime Service
Benchmade's LifeSharp program covers free lifetime sharpening, cleaning, oiling, and re-calibration. Send or visit any Benchmade dealer — your knife comes back factory-sharp, for life.

Cleaning
Wipe the blade and handle with a soft, dry cloth after each use. For deeper cleaning, rinse under warm water with mild soap, then dry thoroughly — especially the pivot area and lock interfaces. Avoid prolonged moisture exposure.
Lubrication
Apply a small drop of light machine oil or knife-specific lubricant (such as Benchmade's BlueLube) to the AXIS lock bar interfaces and pivot every few months — or after cleaning. This keeps deployment smooth and prevents grit buildup in the lock mechanism.
Sharpening
The Bugout is covered by Benchmade's LifeSharp program: free lifetime professional sharpening, cleaning, oiling, and re-calibration. Send it in or visit any authorized Benchmade dealer. For home maintenance, use quality diamond or ceramic stones at the manufacturer's recommended angle; the AXIS lock makes full disassembly safe and straightforward.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry environment. The Bugout ships with a reversible pocket clip — remove the clip before long-term storage if you want to preserve spring tension. Avoid leather sheaths for long-term storage in humid climates (leather retains moisture).
Warranty & Service
All Benchmade knives are backed by the manufacturer's warranty against defects in materials and workmanship, plus the LifeSharp lifetime sharpening and maintenance program. Contact Benchmade directly or visit any authorized dealer for service.
