For those looking for something a little more robust, the 537GY-1 Bailout takes lightweight strength one step further. Outfitted with woodland green anodized aluminum handles and a CPM-M4 super tool steel blade, this Bailout can hang with the best of them despite its slim profile.

Differing from the drop-point blades of the traditional Bugout models, the 537's blade mimics a Japanese profile tanto, as opposed to the tanto Benchmade has used on models like the Griptillian, AFO II, and Barrage that sport a straight belly and crisp primary bevel. This design was influenced by a desire to embolden the tip strength of the blade while maintaining superior slicing performance.

The Bugout is one of the most popular knives in the Benchmade line—and one of the most pocketed blades in the EDC community. Originally designed and built for outdoor adventurers who demand durability in a light, ergonomic, barely-there package, it's also exactly what you'd want for the daily grind, too. It comes in a CPM-S30V drop-point blade to make maintenance a breeze. The Storm Gray Grivory handle and gray Cerakote blade evoke the dark clouds of a raging tempest.

Don't let its size fool you. The 533BK-2 Mini Bugout packs a mean punch and does it with class. Wrapped in black and tipping the scales at an ounce and half, this pint-sized slicer takes ultralight performance to the next level.
