Product Description
The result of overwhelming feedback, the Bugout has been scaled down in the form of the 533 Mini Bugout. Available in two different colorways, the Mini Bugout maintains the same material configuration as its full-sized counterparts in a mere 1. 5-ounce package. With a closed length of 3. 7", this ultralight folder is small enough for a mint tin, yet big enough for real-life adventure.

My knife came quite sharp, with a toothy edge that would probably satisfy most folks. I refined it on my Wicked Edge, going to 17 degree polished edge, and finishing with a .25 diamond spray. It took an incredible edge.
I’ve had my eye on this guy since Benchmade announced it, and I’m thrilled to finally own it. It’s an absolutely fantastic EDC pocket knife.
The original Bugout was pretty darn great. But perhaps a little too much of a knife for some one hiking, or backpacking. Although the colors were great, and the steel and materials choice was awesome.
Now the mini is somehow even better, because of the reverse. You get SO MUCH knife, out of such a little package (hope that makes sense).
I have thick medium size hands, and it feels just right. Not too small that I can't safely use it. But not too large that I feel I am carrying something that is overkill for my needs on the outdoors.
Best of all, the color choice makes it so easy to see anywhere you put it or drop it. It is so much easy to fid inside my pack, pocket, tent, etc. No need to colorful lanyards anymore.
Let's be honest, most of us who simply hike and backpack, don't need a massive survival knife. This one is plenty for our needs. Is even better than the mini Griptillian. And I will recommend it to anyone. I will actually be gifting a few to, my wife, family and friends.
Now if only they made them in more subdue colors so I can carry it every day at work and around town. Or a few more color choices so I can tell my knife apart from the one I am giving my wife and others.
A rainbow of mini Bugout colors will be AWESOME.
This is quality made. Opens and closes easily and comfortable to hold. You can put it in your pocket and not even notice it’s there.
Bench Made makes a great knives. Don’t leave home without one. T&K
I find flicking the knife open with my thumb to be very natural and needed zero break-in.
The grivory (plastic) handle scales do have some flex. To me on a knife with a sub three inch blade that's not a big deal because the smaller size limits how much it flexes and because this isn't supposed to be a hard use knife.
The handle is very slim but still comfortable with enough texture for a secure hold without being abrasive. It's just big enough for me to get a four finger grip. I wear a men's size large gloves, so those with big hands may find their pinky hanging off the end.
The small pocket clip is my favorite style that Benchmade has and is very easy to get in and out of the pocket. Because the knife sits so deep in the pocket with this clip you get security knowing the knife won't come out and also a discrete appearance.
I love buying American made products and am very happy to support Benchmade with all their knives made in Oregon.
From a price standpoint Benchmade charges a premium even among American knife makers, so I can't call it a amazing value, but the price tag isn't so high that it's unreasonable.
For a quality sub 3 inch bladed, lightweight, American made knife in my opinion this is the top of the heap.

Ouverture et fermeture instantanées d'une seule main, et en plus, il est magnifique, tout en noir.
Mais le prix pique un peu.
Pour la tenue dans le temps on verra mais connaissant Benchmade je ne me fais aucune inquiétude.
Vraiment difficile pour la concurrence d’en offrir plus à un prix équivalent. Le succès de ce modèle n’a rien de surprenant.
Für einen "Plastik Folder" etwas zu teuer für meinen Geschmack aber trotzdem noch ok, ich wollte ja ein Ultra-Light Messer. Einen Stern muss ich allerdings abziehen da meine Verpackung bereits geöffnet war und ich gerade bei solchen Artikeln mit einem neuen Produkt rechne wenn ich so viel geld dafür ausgebe.
