Benchmade Bugout AXIS Folding Knife 3.24in Storm Gray

Description

The Benchmade Bugout 535BK-08 is a lightweight manual folding knife built for everyday carry, outdoor travel, and general cutting tasks where a capable blade and minimal pocket weight are priorities. This exact configuration pairs a 3.24-inch plain-edge drop-point blade with a Storm Gray Grivory handle. The blade is made from CPM-S30V stainless steel, a practical choice for users who want a balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, and routine sharpening characteristics. Its Cobalt Black Cerakote finish gives the blade a subdued appearance while complementing the gray handle and black hardware. Benchmade’s ambidextrous AXIS locking mechanism makes the knife convenient for right- or left-handed operation, while dual thumb studs provide straightforward manual opening. The textured Grivory handle keeps the design light and provides a secure shape without adding the bulk associated with heavier handle materials. At 4.22 inches closed and only 1.85 ounces, this Bugout is easy to carry in a pocket, pack, or outdoor gear kit without becoming an unnecessary burden. When open, the knife measures 7.46 inches overall, providing useful reach while retaining the slim proportions associated with the Bugout series. A black-oxide mini deep-carry pocket clip supports discreet tip-up carry and can be positioned for either side, allowing the carry setup to match the user’s preference. The handle also incorporates a lanyard hole for an optional cord or retention loop. Made in the USA, this Bugout configuration is well suited to customers looking for a compact folding knife that can move comfortably between daily utility work, hiking, camping, fishing, and other outdoor activities. Its combination of a versatile drop-point profile, plain cutting edge, ambidextrous controls, low weight, and restrained Storm Gray color scheme makes it an adaptable addition to an everyday-carry rotation.
