Benchmade 535 Bugout Knife Review 1.8 ounce with hard use field test

With the Benchmade 535 Bugout pocket knife, Benchmade has made one of the lightest most durable 3 inch folders you can buy. Made in the USA with a S30V steel, and a liner-less grivory handle, it's 1.8 inch weight can be deciebing, but it's a very capable knife. In this review, I put it to the wood in a field test. I beat it up, whack the spine- and cut stuff with it. You'll also see me compare it to other popular knives like the: Benchmade 551Griptilian, the Benchmade 765, the Spyderco Delica 4, the Benchmade 940.
You can buy this durable knife at Blade HQ: shrsl.com/15410

Lol they issued us benchmade autos when we got to Iraq 3 days before the war started and for good reason, their knives are held to higher standards than many other manufacturers and they hold up to tasks beyond their recommended use! I still love my ZT and Spyderco knives but that benchmade knife may have saved my ass more than a few times and I wish I still had it today!

    I have my endura4 in zdp189 and love it .But now I'm considering selling that knife and buy the Spyderco caly3.5 (zdp189/420j)in carbon fiber handle and this one.would you suggest that?thanks^_^

    With the Caly you'd get a slightly smaller lighter weight knife, and a slicker handle. I would assume both have a pretty similar hand feel. I dunno I'd prefer the longer blade of the endura... both have the same lockup- so there's no fun factor upgrade. The Caly looks nicer? I literally have no idea... both have pros and cons- But I personally wouldn't upgrade if it was me. People want different things out of a knife.

    thank you ! the zdp-189 on the caly3.5 is harden to 67HRC , which is almost as hard as Maxamet...,that is a point I considered.Another point is that the FRN handle on the endura is kind of too flexible,makes the blade not that stable under hard use.Anyway thanks for your advice :) ,I think I will take the paramilitary2 in s110v

    Hey Advanced knife bro, I got a question for you. On my local CL, someone is selling a Bench Made Proper, Minigriptillian, Minibugout for $200. I only plan on keeping one (probably the bugout) and selling the rest. They seem to be in excellent condition, would you scoop this deal? I don't precisely NEED a new knife, but it almost seems too good to pass.

    If those are in good shape I think it’s a good deal- as long as they’re legit. It’s a good way to get a small collection going and you could probably resell those and make over half your money back or more.

    Not sure if I am too late, but could you explain your jab at Ganzo knives? I am newish into the knife world and have been genuinely shocked by the quality from my ganzo and tangram blades. I feel like it would fit in just fine with your channel and I'd love to see you do some reviews on them.

    Nothing wrong with build quality, or price and value. They make a solid knife for the money with a budget steel. So the most I’d say is you have to sharpen them more. The big problem with Ganzos are that about 90% of their designs are imitations of other knives. They aren’t designed as fakes.. but the fact that they copy major design cues from other manufacturers rubs people the wrong way. I have reviewed lots of their knives... probably won’t anymore though. Just not worth the headaches of lectures, and arguments over if what they do it ethical. Have given away quite a few to friends and family and they like them.

    @@AdvancedKnifeBro Mad respect for actually replying especially given how old the video is. I totally understand your answer as well. As a man whos independent and on a college budget i go for the budget blades. I would absolutely love to see you review some of the KA-BAR Dozier models (really any of them). For $20 on amazon they are literally workhorses that just keep on going. Hands down my 'first pick' if I need something to do some work. On another note, do you or anyone else reccommend a good (cheap) but effective sharpening system? Thinking about trying to snag a KME sharp maker on the swap if I can find one for the right price.
