If any of you had read my past posts, you would know that I have had a bunch of knives, I have only carried 3 knives as primaries the past 40 years. I also throw a traditional in my pocket but that changes often.

Well this week number 3 is officially retired as my the Bugout has taken its place
It is a somber day retiring this knife because it has such a great story. But I am going lighter weight as I get older and this Bugout is awesome. I also love the deep but low profile pocket clip.
I also wanted to point out that the blade looks centered, it locks up great and there are ZERO quality issues that I can identify. It is razor sharp and the grind is clean.
Great job Benchmade!
Just thought I would share. I feel the 14200SBT deserved a thread to say goodbye to the depths of the safe to be passed onto the kids one day. Goodbye my old friend!



I'll give the ole 530 some love too seeing it was a stand in for 22 months and now the boy carries it and it is essentially the same type of lightweight knife
