Would you actually put a Benchmade Bugout in your bugout bag?

Not sure what the problem is, don't really care... take it somewhere else.

No harm intended, just messing around.

If I had to bug out with a crossbar lock, I’d do it with the Kunwu Django. It’s just a better made knife IMO.

If I had to bug out with a knife that I currently own… probably this:




It’s also 15N20, so I could probably sharpen it on a river rock if I really needed to. Having a super steel sounds nice, but not if you can’t sharpen it!

 

[kobold]

Never. And not just because I don't own one. These two would be good bugout tools imho. Benchmade's Bugout is a misnomer knife.

 

[AntDog]

Nah. No bugging out with a Bugout. They’re just good EDC blades. S hits the F, I’m grabbing this one:



Or this one at a bare minimum:



And yes, I do own a Bugout. A very nice one.

Nice knife, but currently way overpriced. As for the bugout bag, I'd take a sturdy FB instead.

My bugout bag (get home bag for me) has a leatherman in it. I always have a blade or 2 on me and i domt plan on having to knife my way home.

 

[Sibyrnes]

Fantastic knife!

Pocket jewelry.

For the price of one, I could get several Buck 110's or a Winkler. Thanks for reminding me I don't a have a Winkler...

You could buy two Bugouts for the price of a Winkler knife

The bugouts a nice little knife. Definitely not something that I'd consider as my only folder in a bugout situation. Honestly, it should be called the Backpacker. That's really what it caters to, the super lightweight backpackers that count every ounce. I mean Benchmade even made the Axis Lock bar titanium instead of steel to save weight and to prevent corrosion. Honestly I think they should have stuck with a steel Axis bar, but we can always change it. I am thankful for my Bugout though, I got it a couple years ago in a "package deal" used, this Bugout, a Civivi, and... I can't remember what the other one was right now, but it brought the total to 25 each, so this is my $25 Bugout! The spine was ground down a tiny bit from a broken tip, and I reprofiled it to 15 or 17 degrees when I got it.

Only place I'd put a bugout is in the trash or for sale threads.

That's not necessarily true, depends on which Bugout and which Winkler.

Regardless, I'd rather have any Winkler fixed blade over any two Benchmade Bugouts if shit got serious.

3 when the they were recently on sale for $110

Sir! Stop reminding me that I don't a Winkler!

Jerk!

I'm the jerk, not you...I think

Well me too! Actually, I have two Winklers and only one Bugout.

 

[FeelingEdgy]

Yes, the Bugout is not the only tool in the bag.

 

[rlewpolar]

If I was going to bug out with a folder, it’d be no doubt a Cold Steel 4 Max Scout. Assuming I was going to carry a folder at all in a bug out bag. Fixed blade makes a lot more sense though. For a fixed blade, probably a Tereva Skrama 200 or the Tereva Jaakaripuuko 140

The Bugout is right at the bottom of the list (especially to buy)

 

[hhmoore]

I don't even have a bugout - it just never appealed to me.
Besides, I've got a couple of fixed blades in said bag.

 

[XJ-linux]

They make nice box cutters and letter openers. Cute knives. My wife loves hers and the donut switchblade.

 

[jbmonkey]

besides my fixed blade...I'd be leaning towards a tri-ad lock folder. recon 1 or counter point or hold out, something like that.

 

[CSG]

Nevermind. Easier to use the ignore function...
