If the Bugout was 10% bigger in every dimension it would be perfect
You could just do what I do. Carry the Grip in your front pocket and the bugout in the back pocket
Currently carry the Benchmade casbah. Looking to get the Grip because I think I need more real estate for my hands. But let's face it I'm only buying a new one for just because.
I have both in the upscale versions...grey Grip with G10, Black 20CV sheepsfoot blade, w/Spydie hole...Bugout grey blade with drab green scales...I played along with the vid...and BOTH knives are GREAT! Totally different use..so I recommend that everyone own BOTH! 👶
I need your help man, I can only afford one and I've gotten the go ahead from the wife. Do I get the upgraded grey 550-1 or the fullsize bugout?
Just ordered the grip to add with the bugout. Now there’s no issues cause I have both 😀
Both great, I absolutely love the Bugout. I cant wait for more versions of the Bugout.
I’ve had a Griptilian for about 10 years and rarely carried it. Thought it was bulky and cheap feeling. About a month or so ago I stumbled across the Applied Weapons Technology scales. Bought them for the Griptilian and now it’s my favorite knife. So much so I ordered another Grip and set of AWT scales.
I’d like to get a Bugout in M4 that would be sweet. That exact base model Griptilian 551 is what finds its way into my pocket I’d say most of the time. It’s not fancy or rare, but it is special. Special in a sense that it’s just one of the best work knives ever made. It’s really a fantastic knife for just a general work knife.
Both. Got it. Useful review, seriously. Thanks!
It’s got jimping for days. ( I love it. ) Great video, keep up the good work!
Fine critique - Thank you.
Great videos. Keep em coming
Best wishes from sweden
I love the Bugout it must be selling well everywhere I go it’s sold out
I went to buy a Bugout at scheels today. When I got it in my hand I felt like it was too small. I asked if I could try the Griptilian and instantly liked it better! Now I have an Osbourne and a Grip!
Thank you. Great video. Wish you had done the mini but good info.
The mini didn’t exist and is much more mini that Mini Grip.
Helped! Gonna buy the bugout
Bought the Grip 1 week ago today. I like the blade thickness, length, weigh and shape not to mention the s30v steele. Tactical qualities are there as well....
Bug out for sure!!! Thanks for the video!!
Nice comparison. I'm not sure about the Grip. But I like the Bugout.
I gave away my large Griptilian, loved the knife but hated to carry it, I couldn't handle the handle...way too big in the pocket so it sat for over a year before a good friend said he'd been wanting one. He eventually lost it. I like my 940-2 a lot so I'm considering the Bugout, I hope your right about some new material combinations.
Bugout fan here! I pick the bugout every time over my grip 550-1
Great video. I think the bugout in a marbled carbon fiber handle would be amazing. I think it would add a bit of rigidity to the handle and have the increased tacticool factor of course...
That would call for "structured" marbled CF (apparently there are two types)....because there are no liners. That type is expensive...so I doubt we will see that, although it would look cool,
Hell id like a solid metal bugout in stonewash.
Had the grip had to sell it and picking it back up and the bug at the same time marry xmas to me
Being a smaller guy that edcs a knife. I prefer the Bugouts size. It’s thin enough I can carry it by my cellphone without it getting in the way when I pull it out. It’s also so light I can just forget it’s there and with the deep carry pocket it’s just nicer. Currently, I’m carrying around the Bailout M4, but Bugout for me.
Pretty sad to see the 551 went away with the black coated blade/handle options. Its still alive, but in it most basic form, and for around 130$ in S30. As a teenager in the early 2010s (getting into knifemaking and meeting a few knife makers like RJ martin, Becker, Gavko in person)- the 551 was constantly mentioned as one of the best EDC knives you could get at the time. I ended up getting a Paramilitary 2 instead, but ive always felt like my collection was lacking a Grip. I hope they bring back some of the options or maybe make a griptillian 2.
Benchmade bugout! I'm hoping someone makes blue micarta scales.
Bug out with 20cv blade and g10 handle, a prophecy come true, my friend
Did the Griptillian get discontinued now though?
I'd still take the griptilian over the bugout. It can slice just as good as the bugout and the robust tip helps with prying. The griptilian has more utility as an edc blade
Revisit thoughts with the new griptilians being S30V now?
The bugout is lighter and thinner, which to me, makes it better for edc. But the griptilian seems to have a much better market for customization so I'm sticking to the grip.
The benchmade 940 is considered to be the best we’d ever made
Bugout hands down for me.
Just a thought. No offense but you need better/more lighting and perhaps a lighter background. Nice review.
Griptilian is the goat at benchmade🇺🇸
Actually the 940 is GOAT
Guess you saw the Knighthawks' owner moved the franchise to Halifax, NS. 😳
However, there is a new Knighthawks franchise, but all the original players are gone, except for the ones that are picked in the expansion draft, or reacquired in trades.... bummer!
The Rochester Knighthawks? No. I didn't see that. Not at all on my radar. Big Amerks and sometimes Red Wings fan because my friends have luxury boxes I can use for free, but not a big local sports guy.
I do live my bugout but nothing beats my griptilian for hard use jackassery prying and what not.
How smooth is the action on the Bugout? Someone commented in another video that it wasn't as smooth as that of an Osbourne (740). I wonder if they cheapened up the action, or if it was just that the Bugout was new and not broken in yet...
The grip went s30v now. Way better then the bo.
Griptilian is the best blade hands down, you should have compared mini grip instead of the full-size one, mini grip is perfect for edc, I own 4 of them , the recent version of bm556 with s30v on the blade is a killer! I wanted to buy a bugout but after actually holding it I ended up grabbing another mini grip, it’s just so comfortable and useful for everyday needs. Bugout is not a bad choice but not even close to mini grip.
Mini Grip would have lost by a lot more. It doesn't fit my hand at all.
Slicey Dicey griptilian , full-size or mini, is a legendary blade, an icon of edc, now there’s upgraded griptilian line with s30v steel, the bugout is temporary , fleeting phenomenon
Slicey Dicey I probably have to apologize and accept the fact that bm535 bugout is really an excellent knife for the summer especially as it is so freakin lightweight. I actually bought one 2 days ago after watching your video review. You were right about it being an awesome knife! So I feel like I have to admit that I was a little skeptical and had my doubts. Just to keep it real I had to withdraw that single “dislike” you had for this particular “battle”. You seem to have enough persuasion to turn stiff-necked unbelievers into believers) best wishes from West Ukraine!
I didn't think I would like the mini grip but I handled one today at the store after losing my Emissary that I carried daily for the last 3 years and I REALLY liked it. It made the Bugout feel like a cheap toy.
940 is better than both
I wish they would put the clip on the other end of the handle
Ive been carrying a spyderco persistance for a while now and the size, feel and shape are perfect for me, im looking to get a more premium spyderco, What would people recomend?
Sage 5.
@@SliceyDicey I will take a look. What about the para 3?
para 2 over the para 3, you wont regret the para 2 my dude
Para mí la bugout es la mejor y la más portable con una capacidad de corte muy buena!!!

Kind of rambling, you should write a bullet point script, at least.
One reason to go for the Bugout: the super-sharp diamond grip pattern on the Griptilian tears up the pants under the pocket clip. It really needs to be ground down on the clip side.
@1:30 It definitely went away sorry bud.
"Grip is never go away" .... Yep it is out of the customization shop ;)
I was very interested in your showdown. These are the only two Benchmades I own, I will buy a 940 and probably a nakamura and crooked river at some point. My feeling is much like yours; I would think I would like the grip more, but I carry the bugout more. It’s easier to carry and plenty useful for everyday use. I was laughing when you said the bugout hasn’t made it into the laundry. I’ve come close to doing that too, because it feels like nothing.
Jesus why did I think the buyout was aluminum handled lol glad I got the grip. I don’t think benchmade is even offering 154cm for the grip anymore. All I see is the s30v now for new minus a few sites selling 154cm discontinued stock. It also comes in a few other metals too... d2 is also popular I believe.
Yeah it changed recently. I’ll be getting the S30V next month when my REI dividend comes in.
For me bugout
I want to see the Ritter/Hogue collaboration .
I have one arriving any day now. Was actually supposed to arrive yesterday, but didn't.
Looking forward to your review. I really like the profile of the old Ritter griptilian, always wanted a mini with that blade.
I don't like the bugout that much personally. I just wen't to the sporting goods store to handle some blades as I lost my beloved emmisary. I fingerblasted the bugout first and was like "yeah, this is a pretty cool knife". Then I diddled the mini grip and it just made the bugout feel like a cheap toy. I understand that the point is to make it super light and thin but it's a small pocket knife. How is the extra few oz of weight really a problem for anyone? The heavier knives just FEEL sooooo much nicer and higher quality. I mean, you can even easily compress the scales on the Bugout, and I know it works just fine but it feels crappy. It just isn't confidence inspiring at all and I completely disagree that the bugout feels higher quality in the hand. Really don't get that vibe myself. If the Bugout had full liners I think I would like it a lot more but as it stands, especially for the price, I like almost every other Benchmade design better than the bugout. I was really surprised with how much I liked the mini grip. I don't love the looks of the grip series either but it just felt GREAT in the hand and like a much better quality knife. I would get a Civivi Elementum over the bugout any day.
Weres the liners
The bugout wins hands down against that grip. You probably shoulda compared the Grip to the freak there closer in comparison but the freak has even better ergoes and I think a better blade shape if you don't think it's to thick of a blade
I actually hate the feel of the Freek. Just a texture thing.
cant decide on the bugout or the griptilian mini please help me, Will be used for edc and the occasional canoe trip
$240 s30v g10 jade handle
I'll take the Bugout over the Griptilian all day no matter what version of the Griptilian it is
The Bugout feels too light and flimsy for my liking. Griptilian all the way.
Both great knives but the benchmade 940 is still superior to both
No matter the knife, I can't stand an exposed "tang" on a closed folder. Just looks and feels wrong!
I tend to agree, it's the gas-station-esque mark of (low) standards and limited care in design. The danged exposed shoulder.
Bugouts more expensive for less material. How does that make sense? lol
I don't buy knives by the pound.
@@SliceyDicey lol
Do you have any idea how a product gets its price? It is a combination of research, design, materials, the price of a mould has to be paid for, marketing, the amount of time someone has to work on it, the packaging, shipping etc etc. Most of the time a manufacturer puts something on the market and if it sells alot they will increase the price, if it sells less they may want to lower the price. It is not as simple as saying oh this one is made of more material than this one.
@@timbervandenhul9383 it was a joke bro ease up lol
Neither have any liners to speak of.
The 940 does
Expensive toothpicks
