Product detailed description
The Benchmade 535SL-13 Bugout is a precision-crafted pocket knife that pushes the boundaries of everyday carry (EDC) to a new level. The ultra-lightweight anodized aluminum handle in a shade of crater blue is reminiscent of the dark depths of the ocean, where this unique tone draws its inspiration. The minimalist design of the knife body delivers not only a sleek look, but also exceptional resistance to mechanical wear and corrosion, while maintaining an extremely light weight of approximately 56 grams.
The drop point blade, made from premium CPM-S90V stainless steel, offers superior hardness, long-lasting sharpness and extreme wear resistance. This steel achieves high Rockwell hardness values (HRC) ranging from 59-61. The Cerakote® finish in a shade of crushed silver not only gives the blade an attractive matte appearance, but also greatly increases its resistance to corrosion, abrasion and chemicals.
Details in the form of turquoise anodised fasteners and the Axis® lock system underline the modern character of the knife, while ensuring smooth and secure opening and closing with one hand. Handle shaping and fine texturing provide a secure grip in a variety of conditions, whether in urban environments or outdoor activities. The blade length is approximately 82 mm, with an overall length of 190 mm when open.
The new 535SL-13 Bugout® combines technical excellence, aesthetic purity and extreme practicality. Its timeless design meets the requirements for a reliable tool for everyday wear and demanding outdoor expeditions.

Benchmade Knife Company has earned its reputation as one of the leading American manufacturers of modern, high-tech knives. Since the late 1970s, the brand has focused on innovation, functional design, and real-world performance rather than short-lived trends. Precision manufacturing, advanced blade steels, and reliable locking systems define the Benchmade approach.
Early recognition came with the iconic Bali-Song folding knife, a model that highlighted mechanical ingenuity and balance. This success encouraged further development in blade geometry, handle ergonomics, and durability. Benchmade blends traditional knife-making values with contemporary engineering.
Based in Oregon, the company benefits from a strong local knife-making culture and a regulatory environment that supports craftsmanship and experimentation. Continuous testing and refinement play a major role in product development. As a result, Benchmade knives are trusted by professionals, military users, and demanding enthusiasts worldwide.
Today, the brand is closely associated with features such as the AXIS Lock mechanism, modern powdered steels, and long service life. Each knife feels purpose-built and technically refined. These qualities make Benchmade knives practical tools designed for everyday use and demanding conditions alike.
