The aluminum Bugout. M390. Like new in box.

The Benchmade 535BK-4 is the version of the Bugout that the knife community has been asking for since the platform launched in 2017: M390 blade steel and aircraft aluminum handles in place of the standard Grivory. The result is a Bugout that carries the same 2.5 oz weight while upgrading edge retention significantly and adding a handle with a detailed milling pattern that looks and feels more premium than the polymer version. Black Cerakote drop point blade, grey anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handles, maroon titanium thumb studs with bronze pivot washers, and a mini deep-carry clip. AXIS Lock, reversible tip-up carry, oversized lanyard hole. Made in Oregon City, Oregon. Backed by Benchmade's LifeSharp service and lifetime warranty.

Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The 535BK-4 is the Bugout that gets talked about most. M390 in an aluminum Bugout at 2.5 oz is a combination that very few other folders can match at any price. This one is like new in the box at $51 below current retail. Hard to argue with that.
