Taggedout

Inspired by the insanely popular Bugout and adapted for the hunt, the Taggedout is a slim, ultralight hunting folder built to handle the wildest wilderness tasks — from prepping food in camp to field dressing game on the go. At just 2.1 ounces with a slim sub-half-inch handle profile, it's lighter than most knives in its class while still delivering the in-hand confidence needed for serious cutting work, thanks to abundant grip texturing for solid lockup in slippery conditions. The clip-point blade is honed thin from the factory for razor-sharp cuts and precise control during skinning and detail work — the kind of cuts that need to feel as effortless on the hundredth stroke as the first. Paired with Benchmade's ambidextrous AXIS lock and reversible deep-carry clip, the Taggedout is the go-to folder for go-far adventures. Made in Benchmade's Oregon City facility and backed by the LifeSharp lifetime service program.

Hunting Folder
Benchmade's purpose-built hunting folder platform. Inspired by the Bugout and adapted for the hunt — field dressing, processing game, food prep, and wilderness cutting tasks where weight matters.
Bugout-Inspired Design
Slim, ultralight profile descended from the Bugout — Benchmade's most popular everyday-carry folder. Refined for hunting use with added grip texturing and a hunting-tuned blade geometry.
Clip-Point Blade
3.5" clip-point profile with a tapered tip for piercing and detail work. The signature geometry for skinning and field-dressing tasks, where tip control and precise cuts matter more than brute belly.
Honed for Hunting
Factory-honed to a thin, razor-sharp edge for clean cuts through hide and tissue. Stays sharp through long field sessions and re-hones easily in camp or at home.
Aggressive Grip Texturing
Abundant grip texturing on the handle provides confident in-hand lockup — more aggressive than the standard Bugout, specifically tuned for wet, bloody, and slippery field conditions.
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.
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.
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, damp cloth after each use — especially after field dressing, where blood and tissue residue should be cleaned promptly to prevent corrosion and staining. 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 — especially important after field use where debris can get into the action.
Sharpening
The Taggedout 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 field maintenance, the thin clip-point blade sharpens easily with quality diamond or ceramic stones at the factory edge angle; the AXIS lock makes full disassembly safe and straightforward for deep cleaning.
Storage
Store in a cool, dry environment. The Taggedout 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). For hunting storage, a clean, dry knife drawer or gear bag works well.
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.

Where the Taggedout Shines

Built for the Hunt. Sized for the trail.

An ultralight folder doesn't replace your dedicated skinner or your camp chef knife — it goes where those can't. Here's where the Taggedout earns its spot in the pack.

The Film

Modernize Your Hunt Kit

Designed with the hunter in mind

01 — BACKCOUNTRY BASE CAMP

The camp chef's last-mile knife

When the day's been long and the freezer-pack is heavy, the knife that goes back to base camp is the one that doesn't get left behind on the first trip out. The Taggedout's slim, ultralight profile rides in a hipbelt or chest pouch without forcing you to choose between a folding knife and your fixed blade.

Why it works here: Slim profile slides alongside cooking gear; thin factory edge holds through a full week of camp meals and food prep.

02 — MID-HUNT QUICK TASKS

The knife you don't unclip for nothing

Opening a stuck ziplock on a snack, freeing a snare from a branch, scoring a tinder pile, cutting a strip of paracord for a gear repair — most of hunting isn't the big moment, it's the small interruptions. The Taggedout is the folder that handles those interruptions without the bulk of a dedicated work knife.

Why it works here: Reversible deep-carry clip keeps it low and out of the way until you need it; aggressive grip texturing stays locked when hands are cold or wet.

03 — GLASSING-POSITION EDGE WORK

One-handed deploy on a cold glassing stool

When you're set up on a ridge watching a basin, every motion matters. The Taggedout opens with either hand via dual thumb studs and locks up solid on the ambidextrous AXIS lock — meaning you can deploy, use, and close it from a seated position without taking your binos off the country.

Why it works here: AXIS lock is fully ambidextrous and one-hand operable; thin closed profile doesn't print under a pack-belt or jacket.

04 — THE TOWN-TO-TRAIL TRANSITION

Carry it from the parking lot to the truck

Most hunters don't change knives at the trailhead. The Taggedout's Grivory handle scales and slim, low-print profile make it appropriate for a coffee shop stop on the way out, while still being the knife you trust on a midday hunt when you don't want to unclip a bigger folder.

Why it works here: Hi-vis handle scales make it easy to find when set down; reversible clip carries tip-up for left-hand users; no tactical connotations in casual settings.

Benchmade Lineage

Bugout DNA, hunting intent

The Taggedout takes the ultralight, slim-profile platform Benchmade built for the Bugout and adapts it for the hunt: a thin, tough blade with SelectEdge geometry, hi-vis Grivory scales, and a fully ambidextrous AXIS lock. It's the folder you reach for when the Bugout isn't quite the right tool and a full-size hunting folder is too much.
