Benchmade 535-3 Bugout S/E Folding Knife – Black Carbon Fiber – Satin
The Benchmade 535-3 Bugout S/E Folding Knife takes the lightweight, versatile Bugout platform and upgrades it with premium materials for an elevated everyday carry experience. Featuring a sleek black carbon fiber handle and a satin-finished drop-point blade, the 535-3 combines exceptional portability with the strength, performance, and refined appearance expected from a premium Benchmade folder.
The Bugout’s versatile drop-point blade features a plain cutting edge and satin finish, providing an excellent profile for everyday utility and outdoor cutting tasks. A partial swedge creates a finer point while maintaining the practical blade geometry that has helped make the Bugout one of Benchmade’s most recognizable EDC designs.
Premium black carbon fiber handle scales provide an outstanding combination of strength and low weight while giving the 535-3 a clean, modern appearance. The ergonomic profile sits comfortably in the hand, while the lightweight construction makes the knife easy to carry throughout the day.
Benchmade’s proven AXIS® Lock mechanism provides secure blade lockup along with smooth, ambidextrous operation. Dual thumb studs allow convenient one-handed deployment, while the reversible deep-carry pocket clip provides discreet and flexible carry for both right- and left-handed users.
A generously sized lanyard hole provides another convenient carry option. Whether used for everyday utility, outdoor adventures, or added to a premium EDC collection, the Benchmade 535-3 Bugout offers an excellent combination of lightweight performance, premium carbon fiber construction, and iconic Bugout styling.
