The blade was shaving sharp and the action was drop shut smooth with solid lock up right out of the box. 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. Review: Excellent knife, great size, and holds edge - Excellent knife! Use it every day and carry it always. Lost my first one so bought a second, then found mine hanging on the garden fence. Must’ve hooked onto the fence as I was walking by and taken out of my pocket! Great size for me. I am 5 feet Tall and female. Constantly opening boxes and don’t have to go find scissors every time I wanna cut something. Don’t even notice it in my pocket. Knife holds a good edge and I just use a sharpening steel once in a while. Definitely recommend! ## Features - LIGHT AS A FEATHER: And incredibly tough; Ideal for hiking, camping, and backpacking, and made for everyday use; A lightweight, go-anywhere tool - CPM-S30V STEEL: For first-rate edge retention and corrosion resistance; Precision drop-point construction for strength and versatility.

The other way is to actually handle the knife. If it’s real benchmade it will Be buttery smooth when deploying and closing the knife. If it’s cake. Send that crap back lol **Q: Is good for self defense?** A: It could be used for self defense but it’s really more of a general purpose pocket knife that is extremely light. I have lots of Benchmade and Spyderco knives but the mini bugout is my favorite edc knife ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Really nice knife! *by W***E on January 6, 2023* This knife is as light in the hand and easy to carry in the pocket as advertised.

Use it every day and carry it always. Lost my first one so bought a second, then found mine hanging on the garden fence. Must’ve hooked onto the fence as I was walking by and taken out of my pocket! Great size for me. I am 5 feet Tall and female. Constantly opening boxes and don’t have to go find scissors every time I wanna cut something. Don’t even notice it in my pocket. Knife holds a good edge and I just use a sharpening steel once in a while. Definitely recommend! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A high quality 1 1/2 ounce knife with a just under 3" blade *by C***E on November 28, 2025* I got this knife as a backup to my everyday working lock blade folding knives with four inch blades and bigger handles. There are a few jurisdictions in Oregon where lock blade knives must have blades under 3" to be carried in a pocket or otherwise concealed. In addition, if a group of strangers is around, and I need to cut something it would be nice to have something smaller and less scary looking. Since the knife is smaller than those I like to use, I wanted it to be as light as possible so I would be willing to carry it even though I had a bigger knife with me. This mini Bugout by Benchmadeis perfect. The blade opens and closes easier than any of my others. However, I cannot open or close it with one hand. My hand is too big for the tiny knife to be in the right orientation for that. No surprise. The blade is razor sharp. The knife seems to weigh nothing. ## Frequently Bought Together - Benchmade - Mini Bugout 533 Folding Knife with Orange Grivory Handle (533) - Work Sharp Guided Field Sharpener, Compact Travel Hunting Knife Sharpener Tool - Benchmade - Bugout 535 EDC Knife with Crater Blue Grivory Handle (535FE-05) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.is/products/184675325-benchmade-mini-bugout-outdoor-edc-folding-knife-drop-point-blade](https://www.desertcart.is/products/184675325-benchmade-mini-bugout-outdoor-edc-folding-knife-drop-point-blade) --- *Product available on Desertcart Iceland* *Store origin: IS* *Last updated: 2026-04-28*
