Benchmade 535BK-2 Bugout S/E Folding Knife – Black CF-Elite – Black
The Benchmade 535BK-2 Bugout S/E Folding Knife takes the lightweight, highly versatile Bugout platform and gives it a streamlined all-black configuration. Featuring a CPM-S30V drop-point blade, lightweight CF-Elite handle, and Benchmade’s proven AXIS Lock, the Benchmade 535BK-2 Bugout delivers excellent everyday cutting performance while keeping weight and bulk to a minimum.
At the heart of the Benchmade 535BK-2 Bugout is a premium CPM-S30V stainless steel blade, offering an excellent balance of edge retention, corrosion resistance, toughness, and ease of maintenance. The versatile drop-point profile incorporates a partial swedge that creates a finer point while maintaining the practical blade geometry that has made the Bugout a popular everyday carry design.
A black blade finish complements the handle and hardware, giving the 535BK-2 its distinctive blacked-out appearance.
The handle is constructed from CF-Elite, Benchmade’s carbon-fiber-reinforced nylon material. Designed to provide increased rigidity while maintaining an exceptionally low weight, CF-Elite makes an excellent match for the Bugout’s lightweight design philosophy. Texturing along the handle provides additional traction and control without adding unnecessary bulk.
Benchmade’s AXIS® Lock provides secure blade lockup and smooth, ambidextrous operation. Dual thumb studs provide convenient manual deployment from either side.
A reversible mini deep-carry pocket clip allows the knife to sit low in the pocket while accommodating right- or left-side carry. An integrated lanyard hole provides an additional carry or retention option.
Lightweight, practical, and easy to carry, the Benchmade 535BK-2 Bugout is an excellent choice for customers looking for a premium EDC or outdoor folding knife with an understated black-on-black appearance.
