I've yet to buy my first Bugout and the choice of which version that'll be just got even more difficult! And then there's that mini 940 coming as well...Like the coated blade best on this one... thanks for sharing!
I really wish everyone that criticized the standard bugout would try one of these. Such a great knife. I went with the satin blades version. Did blade hq have any shop mats left when you got yours?
Hey dude! Just a heads up, these are currently on sale at BladeHQ for 149.99!! That’s for both versions, I just picked up the black one. Looks like I’ll be returning my Bugout Elite I ordered from Knifejoy, haha.
I think the weight difference is in the axis bar. On the satin version the axis bar is made of steel. I believe the one on the black version is still made of titanium
IF I could afford knives like this, I most likely would go with the coated version! I do appreciate both for what they offer, but I really like coated blades and matching hardware if I can get them!
I just ordered both versions from BHQ at $149 each shipped ( probably won't get them till next year at this rate) I will be getting some micarta scales from deathgripscales for one , that will put me at 5 Bugouts ... blk 20vc Titanium scales , satin 20cv carbon fiber scales , satin 20cv micarta scales, blk s30v cf elite scales, satin s30v grey G-10 scales
That's a nice looking combination you have. To me, the black coated version looks better. However since I'm so stingy with my cash I will purchase the satin version as I would disappoint myself if I purchased the black version and then wore the finish off of it. Super cool knives.
I’ve been telling everyone lately to be kind to others. I’ve always loved the idea of “Pay It Forward” do something for two people who cannot do this thing for themselves instead of seeking a payment or gratitude ask them to pay the kindness forward.
When is Benchmade going to send you the 940 mini? This is the place where it should premier! I love the bugout. I could honestly just collect bugouts the way some people collect spyderco pm2s
I think the coated blade version looks better, but honestly the gray and green aren’t great. It’s a very good value compared to the custom shop but they need to let someone else pick the colors next time! Thanks Zach!
Thank u. Can u please help me with show me the link on eBay with titanium scales and other scales which are good for 535-2002 model?! Cause I wrote to some sellers and they are not sure that for my model their scales will match. I also got 535-2002 on hand already. Wearing it even in my home pijama:))
So, I bought some titanium scales for mine. When I took it apart, the standoffs are different and I couldn’t use the scales. More milling is required put of the inside of the scales. Anyone run into this yet? Hoping mine isn’t a clone. I have a bunch of benchmades to compare too. Seems authentic.
Pff this is atleast 300 dollar, with sale in EU. Id buy everything if I went to US! 😂 But then customs would stop me on the way home. 🙃 (add 25% and other fees...) 😭
I try to avoid Blade HQ they have some of the worst customer service I ever experienced and they are also refusing all warranty claims on all knives . There’s so many other options for knife dealers that are much more helpful to deal with, so I have no need to buy from them anymore. ( I would much rather go threw Benchmades custom shop and make my own knife than buy from BHQ )
I just bought the black version 5 mins ago can’t wait to see it in real life.
Such a good choice! Plus so many ways to mod it in the future!!
@@zachstuffThank you for making such great content and keep up the grind🙏
I just got it I think I’m gonna return it because the blade didn’t come properly sharpened and the knife has blade play out of the box
Will you sell it?
“You know me, I have a few Bugouts” 😂
I know right???
Wow - there are so many different Bugouts to choose from! Liking the gray with the the black the best. Thanks Zach!
Just purchased the satin. Really like the look of the satin, gray and green.

They did still have some left from people who recently ordered. You can call and ask to make sure. Yes the G-10 takes the Bugout to the next level!!

@@everydaycarry1328 i for my cf elite from bass pro
I got the coated blade version..definitely happy I did now I want another bugout...definitely a killer combination you got there🤙🤙
Thanks for taking good care of me Glock!
You're welcome buddy 👍👍
Will you sell it?

Nice combination with the colors grey and green
I would be happy with either
They are dope
Love the black one ☝️
I would go with the satin. I'm loving that green!

I got the coated blade a couple of weeks ago. The green is ok. Blue would have been much better. I'd even go with red.
Will you sell it?
Just ordered the BK and did the $5 for the 945BK. You sir are a bad influence. Well I can finally say I have a Bugout in my collection.
Right on!! Yes, I tend to turn some people into Benchmade collectors! Enjoy these sweet knives!
Like the coated version. However would probably get the satin as a user because have no way to restore the coated finish.
Nice customization of the Bugout by BladeHQ, always impossible to buy on them from Europe... Thanks for sharing Zach ;)
Oh that's a huge bummer. I appreciate you checking out the review!
They look very good!
Loving the Satin!
Very nice!!!
I just ordered both versions from BHQ at $149 each shipped ( probably won't get them till next year at this rate) I will be getting some micarta scales from deathgripscales for one , that will put me at 5 Bugouts ... blk 20vc Titanium scales , satin 20cv carbon fiber scales , satin 20cv micarta scales, blk s30v cf elite scales, satin s30v grey G-10 scales
That is a great deal on those Bugout's!! Oh the micarta on this will be amazing! Deathgrips does amazing work!! Thanks Every Day Carry!
Mini 940 looks nice
these looked much whiter in the blade hq pictures greyish scales still look cool though
Wow big clip!

Hey Zach, We are new to knives...Please send us one of those extra Benchmade shop mats THX

Stay tuned!! May see it very soon indeed!! Thank you! I’m with you on the Bugout’s!!
I don’t remember if it was a sale price, but I just picked the BK for $169.
Is this more of a white than gray
I think the coated blade version looks better, but honestly the gray and green aren’t great.
It’s a very good value compared to the custom shop but they need to let someone else pick the colors next time!
Thanks Zach!
great looking knifes. 😍
Grey with green accents 🤔 hmmm not too sure about that. Thanks for sharing
I can’t wait for a 20cv mini. Until then I’ll do this one with titanium scales and purple hardware with a lynch clip🔥
Ooooh that's a sweet sounding build!!
@@zachstuff Add me on Facebook. Same name. I’ll send you some pics of some recent builds. Maybe I can send you my mini smock to review!!!
I want one!

Also maybe some China scales will match?
Check out www.flytanium.com
Where did they these knifes every time I look for a knife it out of stock
I noticed you can’t put aftermarket scales on these without some slight modifications.
The G-10 and FRN scale models are slightly different.
I like the satin but I would like it better with blue hardware instead of green
You are reading my mind Grim!!
@@zachstuff first round is on me 🍻
I love mine
Got the black one for 150
