Benchmade Mini Bugout 533-3 EDC Folding Knife, CPM-S90V Drop Point, Black

The Benchmade Mini Bugout 533-3 is a compact, lightweight folding knife built for everyday carry and outdoor use. Weighing just 1.62 ounces, it’s designed to go anywhere without adding bulk — whether you’re on the trail, in the field, or carrying daily. The blade is CPM-S90V stainless steel with a flat-ground drop-point profile, offering strong edge retention and corrosion resistance in a shape that handles a wide range of cutting tasks.

This variant features a black carbon fiber 3K twill handle with a satin finish, providing a secure grip while keeping weight to a minimum. The AXIS locking mechanism delivers reliable one-handed operation — smooth to open and easy to close — and works equally well for right- or left-handed users. A reversible pocket clip and lanyard hole round out the carry options.

Benchmade manufactures this knife at their facility in Oregon City, Oregon. It includes their LifeSharp service, which covers free re-sharpening to factory edge specifications for the life of the knife, along with cleaning, oiling, and adjustments.
