Scales material doesn't bother me . My para 2 with jade scales was my edc for last year and half. . I have 7 deffrent scales for it. It was my edc and still love my para 2 . It was my main edc until this taggedout took over. I absolutely love my tag. The butterfly centering isn't a big deal at all for me. You can see more ofy butterfly and more centered to hole then yours. I was screaming for a little bigger bugout with a clip point. I love the orange also . I bought the mini bugout for my work knife in office to open letters etc. What a compact knife is good for. Little jobs. My mini bugout I got the hunter orange in it also and rock the carbinfiber rogue scales on it and have jade also. You knoweth tag will be extremely popular. clip point blades are so popular so this means scales galore coming soon with other assesories soon. This could take over the bugout. My next blade will be a custome blacked put with wood scales and will be the benchmade mini crocked River. Benchmade and spyderco are my main brands especially benchmade. I'll carry my tag everyday probly to work also with my sig p229 my ridge wallet my leatherman red para skeletool and my nightcore 1800 lums tactical flashlight. That's my edc
I don’t think the butterfly not being centered under the hole is “a bad thing” and I’m pretty ocd. It’s all the way in the back, that’s not a random spot. I would just prefer a thumb stud.
Hey Brad, really enjoy your content and thanks for all the reviews. One thing I don’t think you took into account with the Taggedout is that it is part of their hunt line. It’s not made to be an EDC knife, it was designed for the hunter. So, what matters to a hunter? Light, easy to clean, easily sharpened edge/steel, ergonomic and easy to manipulate in regards to breaking down an animal. When you consider these people things, this knife absolutely knocks it out of the park.
The only thing that makes a good pen is the refill, because all that really matters is how smooth the pen writes, fishers refills are very scratchy at best,
Wow, I'm glad I didn't read a lot of the reviews from this video, or else I wouldn't have purchased my new Taggedout which I like very much- People, what's all the bickering about? If you don't like the price now, wait 6 months and it will be $280.00. If you don't like the knife that's your loss and go buy a Spyderco!
I believe the choice of steel has to do with the market for the knife being hunters and wanting easier field care. The fit and finish is definitly a fair grip especially for core knife nerd folks. this did kill the buggout for me though i enjoy it alot and cant wait for some good titanium scales. also wish benchmade would discover elmax steel for their hunting/ outdoor stainless steel
Im still waiting for someone to review this knife as its intended purpose. I dont care if its a good edc... i do care how it will work as a hunting knife. Is the tip strong enough to split a rear quarter ball joint? Is it easy to regain an edge in the field. Does it clean easily or does meat and ofal get plugged in knife.... 10th review ive watched... all of them on edc... sorry i know not ur fault. But am concerned about how this will do in the back country. 10 miles in the mountains is not a good place to find out it wont 1/4 an elk.
I was trying one out at my friend's house (he was trying to sell it for 150 canadian) and it was the flimsiest handle I have ever felt. It was honestly shocking .. sure it's light, but some steel liners like the delica would have went a long way to not making it feel like a dollar store handle.
I wanted to love it, but don’t. Selling mine for reasons you may not think. I can’t stand the pill💊 shaped 🕳️ . It just doesn’t work for me. I ❤️ the scales. Grivory is awesome!
compare it the the giant mouse jutland which has the same profile but -- elmax, micarta, titanium back spacer. the jutland sells for 195. i got mine for 156 on black friday. the jutland is real knife, not lightweight, overpriced junk
IF it had a more durable lock I would really be into it. Cpm 154 is awesome for its well roundedness and the design is all good, except for the axis lock. Those springs break way too easy. Benchmade should get a new locking mechanism. Axis lock omega springs are such a pathetic absurdly weak component.
Almost all broken omega springs we see are the small ones that are used in, for example, the Bugout and 940. I have been using Benchmade knives with large omega springs for several years and have had no problems with them. Maybe I'm lucky or it's just the size of the spring that matters. 😄
Benchmade makes great knives but this steel with plastic handles - Noooo - if we allow these companies to sell $40 knives for $180, they will and eventually all knives will be priced 4 times higher than they should! Excellent review!
Yeah it's worth it-a 3.5 in blade,flat ground,sharp as a razor,pperfect action,axis lock,2.1 OZ...hell yeah,it's worth it!
I'm write there with you Tony! Yes, it's worth it!

Same man. I had to return a mini grip or two a while ago cause the logos were so uncentered. It just bothered me. It's pretty random these days.

Great video man

I have cpm154 on my Benchmade CLA and it takes a wicked edge very easily!
Definitely like the blade. Great review 👍

Just purchase the updated heat treated bailout 3V so hoping to see if that one has positive results or maybe I'll look into the tagout.
My grandson has the BM Bailout and absolutely loves everything about it
I respect your reasoning for making it walk the plank.
🤜🏼🤛🏼

CPM-154 + plastic handles does not = $170. My wife’s GP knives exclusive spyderco native 5 frn in Rex 45 for $125
Yup. Exactly why I said what I said
Who cares where the logo is located. That bugs me absolutely none. I care how the knife actually functions.
I wanted to love it, but don’t. Selling mine for reasons you may not think. I can’t stand the pill💊 shaped 🕳️ . It just doesn’t work for me. I ❤️ the scales. Grivory is awesome!

👍👍👍
This knife is junk for the price. I would pay 90 dollars and feel slightly unsatisfied.
It’s a diet crooked river 😂
I mean...you are not wrong.
yup, nope, cool blade shape but nope, good vid
