Mini Bug Out alternative

[Coopsdaddy]

10 wallmart is good,i have a few and a full-size bug out.
Everytime I look at the bugout it pisses me off.I could have bought 17 of the wallmart versions.
The bugout s30v Steel isn’t that great.

After I discovered I left my Benchmade 535-3 on the hood of my wife's car and it will likely never be recovered, I promptly ordered another one. It took me a long time and lots of money to finally end up with a knife I like so much. So I ordered another and also have a spare from a another lost episode that turned out to be only temporarily lost. I hate paying for them but I'm not satisfied with anything less.

Try this for $30. It replaced my Bug Out as my edc. Not necessarily better but a very good knife for the price.

That looks great

I agree with the vosteed mini psyop. Better steel than s30v, better grips than grivory, same crossbar lock and very similar size.

Kershaw mini Iridium or Vosteed Parallel if you're set on the crossbar lock. Options open up a lot more if you'd look at a frame or liner lock or even button locks.

That is true! D2 tool steel, works very well for $10. However, it is also a more "full size" version comparable to the regular bug out, much larger than the mini bug out.

Your right. I was thinking it was the mini for some reason. Who knows maybe they will make a mini knock off next.

A full size bug out?

I hate the mini.

Its not cheaper, but better in my opinion.

My wife carries the mini, but its too small for me.


In my opinion benchmade hit a slam dunk with the bug out.

Maybe I got them a while ago, but thought I was like $120 in them.

Definitely not cheaper, but a full sized bugout with backspacer and custom blade is about perfection.

The full flat grind slices better, noticably so.

I've had a Hogue Deka (2 of them) and the blade shape is just slightly off, to aggressive a curve on the belly. Plus the plastic handles on the Magnacut version are trash. The G10 handles are nice though.

This is more expensive than the mini bug out. OP is looking for a less expensive option.

IDK op said $170 for the bug out, I got mine for $160 figured there has to be some BF sales or something to get the price of either down.

Kershaw Bel Air Magnacut is on Amazon right now for $128. Mini Bugout is $150

 

[HairyScandinavian]

Buddy carries the Bugout and I carry the Walmart knock-off, put them next to eachother and they're very similar. For $10 it may be worth going from Mini to regular sized.

 

[Ferrulewax]

Definitely not the same in operation (back lock vs ball detent) but I love a spyderco delica for a similar function. Very svelte and lightweight, and significantly cheaper should I loose it.

Walmart knock off all day. I have 4 of them and they’ve worked great
