Benchmade 533-3 Mini Bugout

Looking for a gentleman's folding knife that pairs premium materials with high mechanical performance? The Benchmade 533-3 Mini Bugout takes the popular lightweight platform and lifts it into the top tier. With a handle in genuine machined carbon fibre and a blade in CPM-S90V steel, this is the knife for the gear enthusiast or outdoor user who wants the very best in their pocket.

Machined carbon fibre and blue details

Visually and structurally, the 533-3 stands out clearly from the standard models:

• Genuine carbon fibre handle: The dark handle is precision-machined from genuine carbon fibre. This gives the knife excellent torsional stability and a distinctive surface texture that sits well in the hand, while the weight is kept to a very low 45.93 g.

• Blue anodised contrasts: The clean carbon fibre look is offset by a bright blue anodised aluminium backspacer and matching blue thumb studs on the blade, giving the knife Benchmade's distinctive high-end custom look.

CPM-S90V steel with very long edge retention

The blade is made for those who hate sharpening and just want an edge that keeps cutting:

• High wear resistance (59-61 HRC): The 71.6 mm drop-point blade is made of advanced CPM-S90V stainless powder steel. With a very high vanadium content (approx. 9%), this steel offers very high wear resistance and edge retention that clearly exceeds both S30V and S35VN.

• Satin finish: The blade has a finely polished satin finish that complements the dark carbon fibre handle.

AXIS® Lock and fully Ambidextrous

The Mini Bugout has Benchmade's patented AXIS® Lock mechanism. The lock holds the blade solidly in the open position and allows fast one-handed operation. As the mechanism runs across the frame and the fitted Mini Deep Carry pocket clip is reversible, the knife is fully Ambidextrous and works equally well for right- and left-handed users.

The knife is Made in USA to very tight tolerances, making it a premium EDC (Everyday Carry) knife for both refined everyday tasks and outdoor use.
