Benchmade Bugout 535BK-4 Pre-Owned First Production - Black Coated 3.24" Bohler M390 Drop Point Blade & Silver Aircraft Aluminum Handle - AXIS Bar Lock Folder | Made in USA

The Benchmade Bugout is one of the most used and beloved bar-lock folders available on the market. With a super smooth bronze washer opening mechanism and an easy to use AXIS lock, the Bugout is known for being a great choice for a one-hand use pocket knife. 

This model comes highly upgraded, with incredible aircraft-grade aluminum handle scales. Finished silver with milled stripes for extra texture, this guy stands out amongst the crowd. The blade is also improved, being made with high-grade Bohler M390 stainless steel, and finished with a black cerakote coating. The red titanium thumb studs give this model a bit of extra flair, while the rest of the hardware, including the reversible tip-up pocket clip, are finished black. This is a first production model that we have, as shown on the reverse side of the blade.

The condition of this Bugout we have in stock is incredible. It is pre-owned, but looks to be unused and only very lightly carried, if at all. There is just a bit of wear on the pocket clip, but is hardly noticeable. The handle scales have no clear blemishes and the blade seems to be in brand new untouched condition. The action is very smooth, but still feels to have a bit more to be worked in. Overall, this Bugout is in at least a 9/10 condition, closer to a 10 than 9. It comes with its original packaging, however there is a "Kittery Trading Post" barcode sticker on the side and an orange "PAID" sticker on the bottom.
