Benchmade 533-04 Mini Bugout knife

Benchmade 533 Mini Bugout ​ is  a smaller version of the Bugout​ model, an  everyday folding knife that conquered the EDC knife market with its lightweight, extremely functional design. Limited version with Mesa Red linings.

Renowned American steel

The knife uses  a blade with a utility drop-point profile,  made  of CPM-S30V stainless steel hardened to 58-60 HRC .

The satin-finished  blade, 72 mm long, has optimal size and functionality and is perfect for everyday tasks.  CPM-S30V powder steel is characterized by high hardness and resistance to damage , which ensures its optimal sharpness for a long time.

Quick and convenient unfolding

The blade can be conveniently unfolded with one hand thanks to the use of a double-sided pin, thus enabling comfortable operation of the knife by right and left-handed people.

The knife has several decorative elements, such as  an orange anodized pin  and  polished spacer sleeves  in the same color.

Reliable lock

The blade lock is, of course, Axis-lock , the flagship mechanism of the Benchmade brand, valued for its great resistance to loads, insensitivity to dirt and ease of use.

Comfortable and light handle

Thanks to the use of Grivory material linings,  the knife s construction is extremely light . The knife weighs only 42.5 g and when carrying it in your pocket, you almost forget about it. The orange color of the cladding contrasts effectively with the black clip and screws.

Gently  profiled linings with non-slip texturing ensure a secure grip of the knife . The low profile of the linings and its small folded size (94 mm) make  the Mini Bugout so comfortable in everyday carrying that we can forget about its presence in our pocket .

Clip for attaching to your pocket

A compact clip with a reversal option ( left/right) allows you to carry the knife in your pocket in a very discreet, unobtrusive way. There is also a hole in the handle for attaching a rope or paracord braid.

Benchmade 533 Mini Bugout ​ is  a very light and handy EDC knife that will certainly conquer the compact folder market.
