The Benchmade Bugout 535TN-2601 represents a premium, high-performance evolution of the legendary folder, merging elite materials with a striking tactical aesthetic. This Blue Class edition features Taiga Green Grivory handles, providing the structural rigidity and premium hand-feel of metal while maintaining an incredibly low weight of just 1.85 ounces. The slim profile is complemented by a Tan Cerakote blade finish, offering a desert-meets-forest colorway that is as durable as it is visually distinct.

A significant upgrade in this model is the Elmax stainless steel blade. Renowned for its superb balance of edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance, the Elmax drop point blade makes this Bugout a formidable tool for both demanding outdoor tasks and refined everyday carry. The signature AXIS lock ensures smooth, ambidextrous operation, while the mini deep-carry clip allows the knife to disappear into the pocket. Combining the "weightless" heritage of the original Bugout with the high-end performance of a modern boutique folder, the 535TN-2601 is a standout piece of American-made engineering.
