Benchmade - 535GRY-1 Bugout folding knife
The Benchmade 535GRYCP-1 Bugout is the latest iteration of the popular everyday folder, valued for its functionality, lightweight and comfortable use.
Drop-point head, made of CPM-S30V stainless steel hardened to 58-60 HRC
The styling of the new Benchmade Bugout is inevitably associated with a tactical knife, due to the faded colors of the facings and the blade. The knife uses a blade with a utilitarian profile of drop-point, made of CPM-S30V stainless steel hardened to 58-60 HRC. Blade length 82 mm has optimal size and functionality, great for daily tasks. CPM-S30V powder steel is characterized by high hardness and resistance to damage, which ensures its optimal sharpness for a long time. The entire head has been coated with a gray chrome nitride coating, which has a very high abrasion resistance, also protects additionally against corrosion and oxidation.
Reliable locking and extremely lightweight design
The blade can be conveniently unfolded with one hand, thanks to the 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, Axis-lock, benchmade's flagship mechanism, valued for its immense load resistance, insensitivity to dirt and ease of use.
Thanks to the use of grivory plastic facings the knife is ultralight (only 52.4 g) therefore, carrying it in your pocket, we can forget about having it. The quenched color of the cladding harmonizes perfectly with the sand-colored anodized spacers. High-set clip with translation option (left/right), allows you to carry the knife in your pocket in a discreet and unobtrusive way.
The Benchmade 535GRYCP-1 Bugout is a wonderfully designed and crafted knife, created to provide the ultimate in convenience and functionality. The perfect choice for a knife for any lover of the EDC philosophy!

List of knife safety warnings based on requirements
Regulation (EU) 2023/988 on general product safety
(GPSR):
* Risk of injury: Use the knife carefully and always hold it by the handle. The blade is
very sharp and can cause serious cuts. Don't try to catch a falling
knife.
* Safe storage: the knife should be stored in a safe
place, out of reach of children and unauthorized persons. Use a blade guard if
is available.
* Use as intended: Do not use the knife for purposes for which it is not
intended, for example, for opening cans or loosening screws. This can lead to
knife damage or injury.
* Caution when cleaning: Use caution when cleaning the knife,
to avoid cuts. Do not use aggressive cleaning agents that can
damage the blade.
* Blade maintenance: Sharpen the blades regularly to keep them in good condition. Blunt
knives are more dangerous than sharp ones because they require more force, which
increases the risk of slipping.
* Transporting the knife: When transporting the knife, make sure the blade is secured,
for example, by using a vagina or sheath. This prevents accidental injuries.
* Keep your knife clean: Clean the knife regularly to remove any food debris
or other contaminants. This ensures safe and hygienic use.
* Do not modify the knife: Do not try to modify the knife or repair it yourself,
if you don't have the right skills. This can lead to damage to the knife
or injuries.
* Warning for children: knives are intended for adults only. Do not allow
children to use knives without supervision.
* Disposal: Dispose of used or damaged knives in a safe manner to
prevent accidental cuts.
This product is for adults only, who have knowledge and experience in handling sharp cutting tools. Improper use of the knife can lead to serious injury. The blade of the knife is very sharp and can quickly cut through skin and tissues; so always be very careful when slicing and do not bring your hand close to the cutting edge. To avoid slipping of the knife, it is recommended to cut on a stable and non-slip surface and avoid excessive pressure, which can cause uncontrolled movement of the blade.
Be aware that leaving a knife on the edge of a table, countertop or in easy-to-reach places, especially for children, is a danger. The knife should always be properly secured after finishing work, preferably by putting it down on a stable surface or storing it in specially designed blocks, sheaths or on magnetic strips. Never use a knife for tasks for which it is not intended, such as opening cans or using it as a lever, as this risks both damage to the tool and dangerous accidents.
Blunt blades pose an increased risk of injury because they require more force and tend to slip off the material being cut. Therefore, care should be taken to sharpen the knife regularly to maintain optimal sharpness. It is also necessary to clean and dry the tool regularly to prevent corrosion and bacterial growth. It is recommended to periodically inspect the condition of the handle and blade to detect any cracks, chipping or loosening. If damage is found, the knife should be immediately repaired or replaced with a new copy.
When using the knife, focus solely on the task at hand, avoid talking on the phone or watching TV while slicing, and make sure your work area is well-lit. You are reminded that in some countries or regions there are laws restricting the possession and carrying of knives. Before buying or using a knife, it's a good idea to make sure that using it in your location is allowed under the current law.
Adherence to the above rules will enable safe and efficient use of the knife, minimizing the risk of accidents and ensuring the long life of the tool.
