The Benchmade 535TN-2601 Bugout® delivers a refined seasonal update to one of the most iconic everyday carry knives ever produced. Designed for those who demand ultralight performance without sacrificing durability, this limited-edition configuration pairs premium materials with distinctive outdoor-inspired styling. Featuring a Taiga Green Grivory® handle, a McMillan Tan Cerakote® finished blade, and striking Burnt Copper accents, this Bugout maintains its reputation as a dependable, trail-ready cutting tool while offering collectors a fresh, eye-catching variation. Built around Benchmade’s legendary AXIS® Lock mechanism, the 535TN-2601 offers fully ambidextrous operation and smooth, reliable deployment. The drop-point blade is crafted from premium ELMAX™ stainless powder steel, hardened to 59–61 HRC for exceptional edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. With a blade thickness of just 0.09 inches, it provides excellent slicing performance while keeping overall weight remarkably low at only 1.85 ounces. This makes it an ideal companion for backpackers, hunters, outdoorsmen, and everyday carry enthusiasts who prioritize performance without added bulk. The Taiga Green Grivory® handle ensures impressive strength-to-weight ratio and long-term durability, while the Mini Deep Carry pocket clip allows discreet, tip-down carry. The addition of a lanyard hole enhances versatility for outdoor or tactical setups. Every detail of this model reflects Benchmade’s commitment to precision engineering and American craftsmanship.
