Meet the Benchmade Bugout | Ranger Green | Drop-Point

The Benchmade Bugout helped redefine ultralight everyday carry, becoming one of the most trusted pocket knives among outdoor enthusiasts. With its lightweight Ranger Green handle and durable CPM-S30V blade, it’s built for reliable performance whether you’re on the trail or handling daily tasks.

Every Benchmade knife begins with high-grade steel, laser-cut for precision and strength. Each blade is meticulously ground, beveled, and finished to exacting standards, ensuring exceptional performance and durability. Our handles are milled and machined in-house to the tightest tolerances, then hand-assembled and sharpened by expert technicians. With over thirty years of manufacturing excellence behind every edge, our knives are proudly crafted in our state-of-the-art facility in Oregon City, Oregon.

Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition:

• Prevent Rust: All steels, regardless of grade or price, can eventually rust. To avoid corrosion, always keep your knife clean, dry, and lightly lubricated. If rust or spotting appears, a quality semi-chrome metal polish can usually restore the finish.

• Hand-Wash Only:Always hand-wash your knife with warm water and mild dish soap, then dry thoroughly.

• Use as Intended: Benchmade knives are precision cutting tools. Do not use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch—unless specifically designed for those functions.

• Sharpen with Care: If sharpening at home, avoid grinding wheels and high-speed machinery, as they can damage the blade. Use appropriate hand-sharpening methods for best results.

• Tighten Hardware: Over time, handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may loosen. Use T6 and T10 Torx drivers for adjustments and apply a small amount of releasable thread-locker to maintain secure fittings.

Proudly made in the USA, the Benchmade exemplifies precision engineering, innovation, and reliability. Every knife is Benchmade’s commitment to quality — ready for any hunt, trek, or adventure.
