My favorite is the bugout much to my fathers chagrin.

We're of the opinion that everyone must own the Bugout. And the 940. And the PM 2. And the Delica. And the M16. And, and, and... You can't know the merits/downsides of one until you've owned them all! ;) -Ben

Can you take one of those knives and cut the string off of your shirt?

[starshiplazyboy]

Seems like bagging on a knife designed to be light weight for not being heavy duty enough is like complaining that your corvette isn't any good for rock crawling.

This video is actually what caused me to buy a bugout. I've been happily carrying it for over a year now, it's my favorite knife I've owned

[nicholesbrooks]

Who knew a plastic handle would sound like plastic, and feel lighter than aluminum? Absolutely astonished.

[justinbaker]

I love how he can open the 940 with ease, but can't operate the same lock on a different knife.

Putting aftermarket scales on the bugout is a game changer. The normal scales never bothered me but glad I swapped them, it’s like a whole new knife.

[benmcdaniel]

Honestly agreed, was super disappointed with my bugout until a friend gifted me the flytanium titanium grip and it completely changed the knife to, if not a 10/10, the closest I've felt to one

My husband's a knife guy. I think you'll appreciate this story.

About 20 years ago he was in a situation where he needed a knife and so he grabbed the cheapest knife at some random stand for $6. He did his task, slipped the knife in his pocket and moved on with his day.

For years he thought of her as 'that cheap POS' but he doesn't get rid of anything and she sat with the dozens of other precious, expensive knives in the case.

And when he needed a pocket knife, he kept finding himself going back to that cheap $6 POS.

It actually frustrated him. He kept buying nice knives, looking for a perfect one; but that $6 POS was just too perfect. She had weight. She fit his hand like she was designed for him. She sharpened beautifully and held an edge better than any other knife he's ever used. Fit in the pocket of everything he wore. (Yes, he's had that knife with him in a 3-piece suit and dress blues)

He never felt bad about abusing her because she was only $6, and she continued to live. And thrive. And work. She's been sharpened so many times that the blade is visibly narrower. The finish is totally gone. He's whittled with her, cut hundreds of boxes down with her. Cut meat with her. Thrown her into a ring at parties. Perfect spin every time. Balanced like it was crafted like a master. Heck, if he needed to abuse a knife, that was the one he'd reach for and she's quietly taken it all like a trooper.

She's not pretty at all. She didn't come out of the plastic with a nice design and years of use and abuse have taken their toll. But she won't die.

About two years ago, he finally decided to allow himself to fall in love with Her. She's cheap. She's not pretty. Not a brand name of any sort.

But she works for him and she's never, ever let him down.

He did buy the TOS sharpening system and the first knife he put in the clamps was the $6 POS. (Yes. That's what he still affectionately calls her.) He lovingly sharpened her for almost an hour. Put a single drop of oil on her hinge and snapped her open and shut with a smile.

Then back in the pocket she went.

I bought a Porsche 911. Man, I can’t load it with even a fraction of what I can load into my F250 Heavy Duty... What a disappointment! It’s just too small... And too fast... And too low-riding for an everyday car... Disclaimer: I am not saying that the Bugout is a 911 porsche of knives, or that the 940 is the F250 (although that latter may be :). But really, this whole review is not about Bugout, but about failed expectations.

[Ken-gvsb]

I’ve been carrying the mini bugout every day for many months and love it. Not the world’s toughest knife but perfect for 99% of anything I have encountered. It’s lightweight and an amazing slicer that fits very comfortably in the hand

[JPA]

Hadn't watched your vids in a while. Figured I'd watch this one and now I remember why.

[noahcutright]

I’ve had my bugout for going on 4 years now, it’s seen things that most knives wouldn’t recover from it and still looks almost brand new. I’ve worked construction type jobs the entire time I’ve had this knife and it’s been in my pocket every day getting used for cutting things from insulation to shingles and Sheetrock. It’s still the knife I carry and I have no complaints.

[Bananahammock]

I'll buy it off you for 70 bucks!

[EDCPride]

I think it's great for what it's intended to be; the perfect EDC. By perfect, I mean that everyone can carry it. Anyone. Whether you're a 12 year old bushcraft beginner or a 75 year old man or woman. It can be carried by anyone of all shapes, sizes, genders, nationalities and ages. It's also tough as nails. Sure, it's not as sturdy or powerful as my Cold Steel Recon 1, but it was never advertised or intended to be. The Bugout is for normal everyday use and sometimes more; going grocery shopping, cutting boxes at work, opening mail, cutting some bananas or apples(etc), shaving some wood, and even baton some wood(I've done it, trust me it'll hold up). The Bugout is fantastic.

[spencerwarren]

I totally 100% disagree. I have the bugout mini and by far the best edc knife I have ever known. The warranty with benchmade is incredible on top of it. You do realize they make the bugout in titanium and carbon fiber which is stronger then your 940. The Handel is comes with is for weight reduction. The whole in the back I have no issue and no clue what you are talking about.

13 minutes to say "one feels higher quality that the other because it's made of better materials"

Jesus.

[gasparortega]

I'm a knife guy.
I have no problems with this knife. In my opinion it's a good knife.

I love my bug out. At first when I bought it I felt that I was paying too much because of the plastic, but I love the light weight and the slim design. So much so that I even forgot it was in my pocket a few times at first. Overall a very capable knife in a light weight and slim package.
