SMKW Benchmade Bugout M4/G10

[LJTanzer]

I'm looking at the SMKW exclusive Benchmade Bugout M4/G10 and think weight and dimensions of this folder are impressive.
Are there any other brands out there who put out a knife that resembles the Bugout's specs..?

How about carbon fiber scales, and S90-V steel?
535-3

I can't think of any options in that weight class really. The lack of weight is the Bugouts specialty.

 

[Bob Denman]

Light weight, and they're thin enough to almost disappear in your pocket.

I love my bugout. No replacement for it imo. I use it when I run or just don't wanna feel a knife. It's awesome.

But I wouldn't pay for the slightly heavier way more expensive smkw version unless it's really a favorite design of yours.

The standard bugout is great and u can build your own or choose color options from various sites. $140ish vs $210.

I carry my PM2 or a fixed blade most days but I love how the bugout disappears.

Hogue Deka, WE Kitefin (there's G10 and Ti versions), Asher Nomad, Benchmade mini presidio/mini freek....off the top of my head.

I know gerber and SOG make some pretty tempting alternatives (and I've gotten a few just to try), but they are best left alone or bought for a steep discount (think 50%+ off).

Good luck!

The Hogue Ritter RSK 1 is pretty similar. I don't have the Hogue, but I carry a Benchmade Ritter grip often, which is almost the same knife with different scales.

What are your feelings on the bugout? Been looking for one for a while. But cannot decide wich version

 

[Bob Denman]

Get the -3 or -4 models...
The carbon fiber or aluminum scales make ALL the difference!

Been eyeballing a M4 model really. But this S90v Carbon one looks amazing

Yup! That was my choice...
And after some "tinkering"...

Don’t be tempted by the Gerber or SOG options. They are junk

I wouldn't call them "junk"...
But they are certainly low on the EDC list...
The Terminus is better than the Sedulo by a long shot!

I prefer the CF and then G10
For your first one you could go with the standard Grivory since it’s really nice to and honestly you can’t go wrong with any of the above .
