Announcing the NEW 535GRY-1 Bugout

[Cscotttsss]

I'm going to hold off to make sure I don't get a FPR. Also, while the gold thumbstud and standoffs don't look terrible I believe I'll swap them out to black.

All the pivots match now.

Hold up! You haven’t broken your Grip year challenge have you?! Hope not. I was rooting for you. Regardless, cool pic

Yea...kinda. I ended up getting kind of big into titanium framelock flippers (ZT and Hinderer) for a while. Ended up moving away from them though. These 3 cover my needs really well.

Post pics if/when you do it please. I’m thinking black would make it look even more awesome

Oh well. Can’t fault you for those three awesome folders. We have exactly the same taste in slightly different versions lol. Obviously I have a Bugout and Grip as my only two knives, but I’d be tempted by a Mini Crooked River if it came in G10.

I would carry the Crooked River every day but a 4 inch folder seems a bit much at the office. The Grip gives me a full size knife that doesn't outright scare people. LOL

The Bugout I like for around the house and when I'm in lighter clothing (gym shorts, etc).

Still waiting on my pre order they haven’t shipped yet

Quick shot of a swap now that the ranger green is out. I deleted most of this original post to not sidetrack the thread ...

 

[kaput]

I think they both benefit from the look of the black blade. Blue thumbs studs for the win!

 

[VolGrad]

If you wanna cancel that and get a non FPR sent your way tomorrow, let me know.

PM sent

How do you plan to get black standoffs?

Thank you! Please enjoy

Mine arrived last Friday. I've not had anything else in my pocket since then. It's an amazing, lightweight, sharp, slicey, perfect knife. I didn't think I'd like the short clip but I love it. Feels better in the hand than the longer clips. This makes me want to buy another just to put away, or buy a blue one. Everything is perfect on this knife. Design included.

Glad to hear it David!

Yea man, I got mine the same day you did. I mainly carry mine in my gym shorts around the house but there have been a couple of days it's knocked my 551-1702 and Crooked River out of my pocket. Such a great knife!

Add my name to the growing chorus of satisfied owners! Received my 535GRY-1 today and I love it every bit as much as I do my blue 535! The only problem I'm having now is deciding which one to designate as a work knife...

 

[Jrunr619]

As an Army guy, I already know which one I’ll designate for work... lol (it will just have to take the place of this bright blue one I have in my pocket now)
