Product Description
EXPERIENCE THE PINNACLE OF LIGHTWEIGHT PERFORMANCE
The lightweight champion Benchmade Bugout CF-ELITE is a favourite for a reason. This feature-packed folding knife not only delivers exceptional cutting capabilities but also ensures a remarkably comfortable, ultra-lightweight design. With the Bugout, you can carry it all day without feeling the weight. This is one to add to your EDC (everyday carry) wishlist, knowing that you'll always have a reliable and comfortable tool at your side.
The Bugout is one of the most popular knives in their lineup and one of the most commonly carried blades in the EDC community. It was originally designed and built for outdoor adventurers who demand durability in a light, ergonomic, and minimal package. However, it’s also ideal for everyday use. The knife features a CPM-S30V drop-point blade, making maintenance easy. Just when you thought the Bugout couldn't get any lighter, they re-engineered it with Benchmade's new CF-Elite handle technology. It boasts greater rigidity under pressure despite it coming in lighter than its predecessors.

USE & CARE OF YOUR BENCHMADE KNIFE
Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition:
- Regardless of price and grade, all steel can eventually rust. It's important to keep your knife dry and lubricated. If spotting or rust occurs, semi-chrome metal polish will often take care of it.
- Dishwashers can cause damage that is not covered by the warranty. Please hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only, then dry thoroughly.
- Remember that knives are cutting tools. Never use your knife as a pry bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch unless the knife is explicitly designed for those purposes.
- If you sharpen your blade, avoid using grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery.
- Handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may occasionally require adjustment using T6 & T10 Torx drivers. It is recommended to apply a small amount of releasable thread-locker as necessary
