The Benchmade Bugout was originally designed for backpacking, with the slim and lightweight design proving to be an absolute game changer. Over the past three years, the Bugout family quickly became EDC royalty and is consistently considered a must-own for enthusiasts of all types.
The next big evolution for the Bugout family is here. On August 24th, the Bugout is officially available for customization through the Benchmade Custom Builder , allowing anyone to design their own ultimate Bugout, styled exactly how they want it!
Options include choosing from 17 different handle scale colors across two different materials (G10 & Grivory), a dozen hardware colors, and a choice of different blade steels, including the super-premium M4 steel. From our calculations, there will be 414,720 different combinations that could be created. Make something truly unique, match a lucky lure, or represent a favorite teams colors!
The Custom Knife Builder is an easy-to-use interactive visualizer that shows exactly how combinations will look, including full 360-degree rotations with the knife both open and closed. Laser marking on either side (or both sides) of the blade is also possible through this system, allowing for personalization WAY beyond the colors and materials. Add a name, a pattern or upload a unique image, the Builder show an exact preview and allows for scale and rotational adjustments, so the final design is exactly what you want.
Depending on which options are picked, the prices will range from $170 to $240. Each Custom design comes with the same lifetime warranty and lifetime LIfeSharp services as every other Benchmade, guaranteeing that this Bugout will be Yours, For Life.
