I had a black Bugout, which I loved to carry in my pocket, but there were a few problems:
1. The blade was really tight, and there was excess friction opening and closing
2. The blade was a teeny-tiny bit off centered when closed (not a problem at all, just a cosmetic issue for someone with OCD like me)
3. The thumb studs fell out.
I sent it back to Benchmade for free sharpening and attention to these other minor issues, and they sent it back - 100% perfect - with a nice blue pouch, to boot.
The blade doesn’t drop freely, but it’s a tad looser and exactly how I want it.
Nice job, Benchmade!
