535SL-13 Bugout® | Crater Blue | Drop-point

While our best-selling Bugout®s sure do have an array of colors to choose from as far as handles go — folks have been asking about pairing this all-star EDC with more premium scales found on other styles. The new 535SL-13 Bugout® is built with a super sleek, ultralight, anodized aluminum handle in crater blue, a color we pulled from profoundly deep waters in nature. Featuring a premium CPM-S90V stainless steel drop point blade with a Cerakote® crushed silver finish, and turquoise anodized hardware, the new 535SL-13 Bugout® is an elevated variant within the Bugout® family that carries light, tackling any EDC task, outdoors and in.

Use & Care

• Proper care and regular maintenance help make your Benchmade knife yours, for life. Here are some tips for keeping your Benchmade in peak condition
• All steel, regardless of price and grade, can eventually rust, so 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 serious damage that is not covered under our warranty, so make sure to hand-wash your Benchmade under warm water with dish soap only, and dry thoroughly.
• Remember, knives are cutting tools, and you should never use your knife as a pry-bar, screwdriver, chisel, or punch, unless the knife is designed explicitly for those purposes.
• If you choose to sharpen your blade yourself, avoid grinding wheels and other high-powered machinery.
• Handle, pivot, and pocket clip screws may require occasional adjustment using T6 & T10 Torx drivers. We recommend applying a small dab of releasable thread-locker as needed.
