- The new 535-3 Carbon Fiber/S90V Bugout.
Is this the best Bugout Benchmade has put out so far? I believe so. It's everything the original Bugout was missing. Solid scales, high-end steel and a flawless design.
In this video, we go over my thoughts of the new Bugout.

10 minutes ago my doorbell rang and got my first benchmade bugout-cf elite. I open youtube with my new bugout in hand and got your video as recommendation.
I hope you're loving that bugout man! Thanks for viewing! :)
How are you liking your CF-Elite so far?
As always great video man! The Bugout was also a knife for me that kind of jump started things for me!
Just picked one up! Thank you for the video!
Great video sir. Really loved the closeups content and style of your video. Keep it up!
Man here I am catching up on all the bids and I get that little surprise. Love ya brother !
Thanks Rikki! Nice to see you around these parts. Love you man!
100% right about the sound. Got mine last week and it sounds great when working the action especially compared to my ranger green Bugout.
Very well done review..thank you!
I love my CF 535-3. The CF does feel awesome. Swapped out the washers for Knife Works oversized washers, added a little of oil, and it's butter smooth. The larger backspacer probably helps balance the knife due to the lightweight CF. It seems that way, at least.
Awesome video and benchmade never disappoints
Thanks man!
I've never had a bugout. It's a knife I've always considered. I like this varient quite a bit especially with the s90v. Great video 👍 I sent a DM yesterday about the pen.
Sweet! I'll get back to you via DM when I get back in town!
Really like the knife like the blue on it
One of favorite knives believe it or not is the newest version of the CS ak-47. Not a minimalist knife by any means but I've always been partial to its design.
Amazing knife and amazing reviewer 🤙🏼
Thanks for the kind words man! Have an awesome day!
Wow, this video is over a year old, ok so, i just recently got the Carbon Fiber, both the mini and the full size, i also have 2 other bugouts, the aluminum, and a BladeHQ limited edition jade G-10 with M4 steel. While i definitely love all my bugouts, i am much more in love with my aluminum bugout, it just really speaks to me, the aesthetics are just extremely pleasing to my eye, not that the carbon fiber isnt, but the aluminum also feels really nice in my hand. Bugouts FTW!
Much more rigid, as well sturdy than the composit plastic. The knife has a nice pop every time you open it. One draw back, the blue spacer digs into my hand every time I open it.
I see the knife b-roll in the truck 💙
Love this version of the Bugout, have been carrying it for a couple weeks now and is a fantastic edc blade.
I own 5 Bugouts ... CF in 20cv , CF in s90v , Ti in 20cv , Micarta in s30v , G-10 in 20cv , I plan on getting the Aluminum in M390 as well.
Thanks for the vid
any thoughts on the bugout carbon fiber after a couple years? would you buy it again?
Great vid. It was a good think to talk about how the carbon fiber rounded off the sharp edges cause that was a reason I didnt purchase one. Is it better than the mini super freek tho? And congrats on 400k 🎉🎉🎉🎉. Keep up the great content👍
Thanks man! Its pretty damn close to the super mini freek... If it were in M390 and red accents, I'd choose the bugout!
Just got one today, but it is stiff. Blade is not moving freely. Any advices?
If you had to choose between the Osborne 940-1 and that carbon fiber Bugout , which would you choose? I personally like S90v steel.
@CalikuhL I found the bugout 535 to feel a little dainty, I returned it. The 940-1 is better in my opinion.
If you had to choose between this one and the BladeHQ gray with green 20cv which would it be? I can get the Blade HQ for $200 right now
I would definitely suggest this version.
I just got mine. I've had several Bugouts, all modded and scale swapped. I had many problems with factory screws being stripped, lock stick, broken axis lock springs, terrible centering from factory etc. I ended up selling them because of the issues I had with Benchmade in general. BUT... I had to get more. I loved the pain I guess. Ended up with just one Benchmade, the 781. The 781 is perfect. But I still longed for the light weight 535. Now that the 535-3 is in my hot little hands, I can say that a couple minor gripes are coming back, but the scales on this factory Carbon are SWEEEEEET. And the back spacer? AMAZING! Blade? Throws rainbows from the grind like a 940! My old 535's were too stonewashed to see this effect. It's not AS vibrant as the 940, but it's still hot. I had to adjust the pivot looser, and add some oil. It should break in right about the time that the springs break- literally! I might send it back for repairs this time instead of having to replace them with inferior quality springs from eBay, but yeah........
Cool trd pro 4runner, debating this knife or the elite bugout.
Just got mine today. First Benchmade purchase and first axis lock. I’m not enjoying it like my PM3. Stiff and uncomfortable lock mechanism.
💪💪👍👍
Just got very interested in knives. Purchased the mini Freek last week - freaky smooth and crisp. Just recieved the 535-3 today. I'm guessing any knife will have a head time competing against the mini Freek.
300🥶
Subscribed! Great review. Appreciate your rationale. I tried a 535-3 CF at a local shop and it was really tight and that dissuaded me from considering it. But I imagine its just a matter of breaking in?
like most Benchmade, you might have to adjust the pivot and add oil. I have had 10-12 of them and lost count, but remember fondly having to adjust them all. Get blue loctite!!!
Gust got mine. It is a bit tight. Adjusted the pivot as mush as I dare. I feel like I might lose the screw over time. Still just a bit tight. Oiled and working it…
@@SolGuy42 That's the way to do it- leave it slighly tight and work it with oil! The bronze washers will break in and help rotate the blade over time.
Get a little tube of blue loctite and put it on th thread of the screw and replace it. Get it back to slighly tight, and you're in business. Never lost a screw after using it.
@@whatmakesittick8362 The one I got wasn't a little tight. It was a 2 hander. Tried to oil and adjust it. It was still super stiff and already had blade play. To get it anywhere near a one hand action, the blade was wobbling. I could try to break it in but this feels much worse than any benchmade. Not taking a chance. Back it goes.
@@joshevans3452 Out of maybe ten Benchmade I have owned, all of them when "drop shut adjusted" will wiggle slightly side to side. Except my 781, but that's a whole other animal! Some people will not stand this, but you get what you get... Benchmade is not the holy grail of quality some think it is. They do try...
The 940 was my gateway knife. I love it, but now I see this.
KEEP IT BRO! I sold two of them and want another one already.
"this is the knife that pretty much kicked it off for my entire collection" hearing that makes me laugh, because when I decided to splurge on a 535GRY-1 the addiction took hold.
Hey everyday minimalist or anyone that purchased this knife. Do you guys notice the coloration difference between the backspacer and the thumb studs that are blue on this knife? My backspacer looks like a flat blue and the thumb stud is more a neon blue color. Don't know why this bothers the hell out of me but I contacted Benchmade about it and they said the anodization process makes the coloration hard to match but I can send it back in and they can try to match it up better. Just wanted to see if anyone else is noticing this!? I really rather not send it in if it is the same on all of them. Is still suck on a knife at this price point though!
Nice video 👌🏿...I also like the water bottle u showed😀..which one is that?
That's my 64oz Hydroflask with a straw attachment LOL thanks for watching!
@@EverydayMinimalist thanks a lot..😊
In your benchmade anthem review, you said you wish it was in s90v because that was your favorite steel. This one is s90v but you said you liked 20cv a little better. Have you changed your position on these two steels in the last 5 months for some reason? (I mean no disrespect by asking this question, and I love your channel. Just wondering because I’m starting to get into higher dollar knives and knife steel, and trying to figure out the differences in edge retention, chipping, sharpening, etc)
I sure have. After handling more knives with M390 and 20CV, I've found that they are better in terms of performance and ease of maintenance.
@@EverydayMinimalist I appreciate the reply. I ordered a mini crooked river from the custom shop in 20cv because I’ve heard a lot in favor of 20cv over s90v recently. Thanks for the great content. Love your vids.
@@Johnwilliammoss Oh man, that must be a bad ass Crooked River! Nice! thanks for watching. Without you guys, this wouldn't be possible! Have an awesome weekend!
@@EverydayMinimalist When it comes down to it, even S30V is great steel. The choice to do S90 is okay by me, even though I do sharpen some of my knives, I will send this one back once the axis springs pop and have it sharpened then! BTW, cool to see you also carry a 781. It's my favorite BM hands down!
Does cardboard and tape know the difference between s90v and s30v?
no, but the edge will ;) haha. Especially if you hard use your knives.
Just added oversize bronze washers....its smooth as butter.
Can't wait for the 31 of March. The Sebenza !!!!
Best of luck! :D
What's gonna happen on the 31 of march to the sebenza? Damn it i just received my sebenza 31 yesterday lol
@@tuyenhoang5546 he has a giveaway on his IG
I like 20cv and m390 too
I call that the “snikt” sound. It’s something I haven’t found outside of Benchmade.
DAYUM
Super mini freek vs bug out I can’t decide
It's a tough call for me. Wish I could take the 535BK-4 (m390) and slap on those carbon fiber scales!
I am going to get both and just swap the blades. I want the M390 blade with the carbon scales. Aluminum with the S90v.
@@ronjamieson1768 blacked out m390 with red studs would look great (like the mini freek) and likewise with a satin s90 on the aluminum! Definitely a pricey swap though
@@bischroe24 would be pricey but fun. I had the carbon mini freek. Sold it as the handles were too small for my hands. Beautiful knife though.
The bugout omega springs are trash. Mine broke after 2 weeks which is ridiculous. The action s that great without adjust the pivot and for smooth action there's bladeplay.. why... For 300 I'd rather get a microtech or something else.
Been eyeing this new model coming from the second gen composite with carbon in the handle. Can't go wrong with carbon fiber scales.
They are even nicer in person! The edge layers and contouring really sets these off. Buying this kind of scales from third parties would cost at least $100-120. Plus you get S90V? Yes pleez.
@@whatmakesittick8362 true, haven't bought anything new other than my stitch auto from microtech. Been eyeing a new ultratech but I'm picky and they're out for most stock.
@@fernandolaguna426 I have an Ultratech D/E in all black. It’s worth getting- try local gun shops. That’s where I got mine
@@whatmakesittick8362 my options are limited. California knife laws are strict. Buy from PVKVEGAS
@@fernandolaguna426 That's awful! I'm very blessed to live in NH, LIVE FREE OR DIE!
I think it is , on my channel its been a hit
Just get the 535-3 instead of a regular. You'll end up swapping the scales or something an end up being into it for the same price or more then this one by the time you're done.
Been there, done that. Three times. Then sold them all and now just bought a 535-3. Sigh
Truth
The carbon fiber one does not weigh the same it weighs 2.02 ounces
Like mine
Bro I can tell that's a Elantra Sport 1.6L Turbo
Nice simple review. But “My boy”? Is he a slave?
My dad Baugh me a bug aut
can we look at the knife a little more and you a little less lol. i'm just playing around
most guys show the knife on a table stationary for 30 min during the review
To much for bugout.
The original is crap and the rip off benchmade butterflu rip off price ! Benchmade should be so ashamed that they should sen everyone they ripped off a 535-3 for free !
The soft bias reviewers help benchmade rip people of with the liehype about the crapout ! The original is a crap $5.00 gas station knife !
S90v is renamed D2 !
