Benchmade - 535BK-4 Bugout folding knife
Benchmade - 535BK-4 Bugout folding knife
The knife uses a blade with a utilitarian drop-point profile,made of M390 steel, considered the best steel in the world for use in factory-made knives This super steel is hardened to a hardness of 59-61 HRC. M390 is luxury stainless steel with a very high content of vanadium and carbon, which make the blade unusually have excellent retention, very resistant to abrasion and corrosion. When choosing a hard-steel knife, get a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient.
Reliable and convenient mechanisms
The blade can be conveniently unfolded with one hand, thanks to the use of a double-sided peg (made of anodized aluminum), thus allowing right- and left-handed people to operate the knife comfortably.
The head lock is, of course, the Axis-lock, Benchmade's flagship mechanism, valued for its tremendous load resistance, insensitivity to dirt and ease of use.
Elegant handle and tasteful accessories
The Benchmade 535BK-4 Bugout has cladding made of lightweight and durable aircraft-grade aluminum, which, in addition to its striking appearance, provides a minimal weight of the knife - only 71 g. The facings have radial cutters that provide a firm and comfortable grip on the knife. Compact clip with translation option (left/right), allows you to carry the knife in your pocket in a very discreet, unobtrusive way. The handle also includes a hole for attaching the line or braided paracord.
The elements that attract the attention of any knife lover are fine elements of the design anodized in red color (aluminum spacer and pin on both sides).
The Benchmade 535BK-4 Bugout is an ultra-lightweight and superbly crafted knife designed for ultimate convenience and functionality. Recommended to any lover of EDC philosophy!
