My EDC rotation has been Benchmade Bugout and Kizer Bear Drop...

I've got a lot of knives, but lately I've noticed a trend that when I'm in a rush, I tend to go with my Benchmade Bugout more than any other knife in my collection. I guess it's my ole reliable, lightweight, extremely sharp, and just so easy to carry. However, when I'm working around the house or going out to the club, I like to carry my Kizer Bear Drop. I can't believe how perfect the Bear Drop is. The fit and finish is outstanding, and it is categorically perfect. Still, my Benchmade Bugout gets the most pocket time. I'm sure things will change eventually, but his has been my edc habits for the last few months.

I too have been using my Bugout more and more. At first it felt small in the hand but the blade shape and the profile it's just a great EDC. I like mine so much I just bought another here off the exchange and have a set of Rockscale Ti scales with all blue hardware. Probably spent too much but I do love modding knives especially ones that I know I will use extensively.

Yes, I completely agree with you. I've got another one coming now, the 535BK-2 Black CF Elite. I hope that one will serve me as well as my blue original 535. There's been a lot of talk about how the mini-Bugout is even better, but I just find that hard to believe... I mean, I don't need to go any smaller than this, and it's already light as a feather.

The 535BK-2 Black CF Elite is a great choice! I too think the 535 Bugout is about as small as I could imagine going as I have L hands so the mini may be a bit small.
