I have been eying that Bugout for a while now and if I see one Tomorrow I might be powerless to resist it. Better stay far from the knife store on my B'Day?
I really like the Bugout it's so light you forget you have it and at the same time gives you a knife with a little more handle.I didn't find the handles to gripy or aggressive, in fact a lot smoother than a mini grip I handled.

I like mine too, but I replaced the scales with Titanium ones.And...Benchmade released a Mini Bugout recently!
Did not need to know this
And at just a smidge smaller, and considerably lighter than the Mini Griptillian, I'm really looking forward to eventually picking one up!
Not to rain in your parade, but I saw this review and it makes a lot of sense to me... I had a chance to get one of these and passed.
Any idea what color?The orange one really pops out...
The whole folding knife built like a tank thing has always struck me as a bit silly. Folding knifes are, by their very nature, weak. If I worked in an environment where a sturdy knife was important, I would carry a fixed blade. I have been pocket carrying mine now for several weeks with the clip removed and quite like it, especially having thinned the edge down considerably. One thing I have noticed is that in the pocket of most of my pants the knife, with the pivot side at the bottom, tends to stay vertical, which only adds to its 'ease of carry', which is the primary reason I bought it. Also, I bet I could break his 940 using just me hands
LOL, had to google for this:This is the kind of thing that would get bladeforum's members panties in a twist back when I was a member.
