Benchmade Mini Bugout Grivory Folding Knife

Description

Trekking along a trail in the woods or strolling down a tree-lined sidewalk admiring the change in leaves, somehow, it’s always nature that creates the coolest colors. Motivated by that very sentiment, decided to freshen up the colors on the new 533-08 Mini Bugout, which features Daybreak Yellow Grivory handle scales, a shade inspired by the changing of the leaves in fall. Paired with earthy Bordeaux anodized thumb stud and barrel spacers and a nimble CPM-S30V steel blade with a satin finish, the 533-08 is the perfect tool that carries light in any pocket, no matter the trail.

Meet the Mini Bugout

Designed with purpose and built to last, the Mini Bugout sets a high bar for durability and performance matched only by the promise that it will be yours, for life.

How it’s Made

Laser-cut from sheets of high-grade steel, every Benchmade blade is ground, beveled and finished with uncompromising precision. Mill and machine handles in-house to the most exacting specifications and every knife is hand-assembled and sharpened by highly trained technicians bringing to bear over thirty years of manufacturing excellence in the state-of-the-art factory in Oregon City, Oregon.

Uses

Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition.

All steel, regardless of price and grade, can eventually rust, so its important to keep your knife dry and lubricated. If spotting or rust occurs, semi-chrome metal polish will often take care of it

Dishwashers can cause serious damage that is not covered under the warranty, so make sure to hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only and dry thoroughly

Remember, knives are cutting tools and you should never use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel or punch, unless the knife is designed explicitly for those purposes

If you choose to sharpen your blade yourself, avoid grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery

Handle, pivot and pocket clip screws may require occasional adjustment using T6 & T10 Torx drivers. Recommend applying a small dab of releasable thread-locker as needed
