Benchmade 533SL-10 Mini Bugout Folding Knife

The Benchmade 533SL-10 Mini Bugout is a premium, ultralight folding knife designed for everyday carry. This model stands out with its CPM-S90V super steel blade and aircraft-grade aluminum liners in a Woodland Green color scheme. The Mini Bugout is a smaller, more compact version of the popular Bugout series, known for its lightweight and highly functional design.

Blade and Steel
The blade is crafted from luxurious CPM-S90V stainless steel, hardened to 59-61 HRC. The high vanadium and carbon content of this steel ensures outstanding edge retention, abrasion resistance, and corrosion resistance. The 72 mm blade is finished with a satin polish, reducing glare and giving the knife an elegant appearance. The drop point profile, flat grind, and gently rounded edge provide excellent cutting performance for a wide range of everyday tasks. The blade thickness is designed to strike a balance between strength and daily usability.

Opening and Locking Mechanism
The Mini Bugout features a double-sided thumb stud for quick and easy one-handed opening, suitable for both left- and right-handed users. The Axis Lock mechanism is Benchmade’s signature system, known for its safety, durability, and ease of use. Gold anodized accents, such as the thumb stud and spacer sleeves, add a unique and stylish touch to the knife.

Handle and Construction
The handle is made from lightweight, aircraft-grade aluminum in Woodland Green. It is profiled and textured with non-slip milling for a secure and comfortable grip. The compact design, with a folded length of just 94 mm and a total weight of only 57 grams, makes the Mini Bugout extremely comfortable and discreet for everyday carry. The high-set, reversible pocket clip allows for left or right pocket carry, and a lanyard hole in the spacer provides additional carry options.
