Benchmade 535SL-13 Bugout - EDC knife in CPM-S90V steel
The knife uses a blade with a usable drop-point profile, made made of elite CPM-S90V hardened to 59-61 HRC. CPM-S90V is a luxurious stainless steel with a high content of vanadium and carbon, which make the blade stay sharp for a long time, highly resistant to abrasion and corrosion. The 82mm-long blade is of optimal size and functionality, so it's great for everyday tasks. The blade is finished using a traditional satin-finish technique.
The blade can be conveniently unfolded with one hand, thanks to the use of a double-sided peg, thus allowing right- and left-handed people to operate the knife comfortably. The knife features subtle embellishments in the form of a blue anodized peg and a spacer in the same color scheme. 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.
Ultra lightweight handle
The Benchmade 535SL-13 Bugout has facings made of lightweight and durable aircraft aluminum in the colors of Crater Blue, which, in addition to its striking appearance, make the knife weigh only - just 71 g.

There is a large hole in the back of the handle for attaching a lanyard or paracord tail.
