Benchmade 535-3 Bugout is an ultra-light edc knife in a luxury version, which uses super CPM-S90V steel , carbon fiber cladding and accessories with a blue finish. Reputable American steel The knife uses a blade with a useful drop-point profile, made of premium steel - CPM-S90V . This super steel is hardened to a hardness of 59-61 HRC . CPM-S90V is a luxury stainless steel with a very high content of vanadium and carbon, which make the blade extremely resistant to abrasion and corrosion . When choosing a hard steel knife, you should get a diamond sharpener, because sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very laborious and ineffective. Quick and convenient unfolding The blade can be conveniently unfolded with one hand, thanks to the use of a double-sided pin (made of anodized aluminum), thus enabling comfortable operation of the knife for right and left-handed people. Reliable lock The blade lock is of course Axis-lock , the flagship mechanism of the Benchmade brand, valued for its great resistance to loads, insensitivity to dirt and ease of use. Ultralight linings The Benchmade 535-3 Bugout has linings made of light and durable carbon fiber , which, apart from the effective appearance, ensures the minimum weight of the knife - only 57 g . Gently profiled linings with non-slip texturing ensure a secure and comfortable grip of the knife. The compact clip with the option of relocation (left / right) allows you to carry the knife in your pocket in a very discreet, unobtrusive way. The handle also has a hole for attaching a rope or paracord braid. Stylish accessories The elements that attract the attention of every knife lover are small blue anodized construction elements (aluminum spacer and double-sided pin). The Benchmade 535-3 Bugout is an ultra-light and beautifully made knife, designed to provide the highest comfort and functionality. We recommend it to every lover of the EDC philosophy!
