Deserving of its reputation
What hasn't already been said about the Bugout? For its weight and size, it's just an amazing knife. It's also FUN to "play" with (with its smooth action and Axis lock). I've already used mine on a dayhike, and next up is a multi-day backpacking trip. I know it will be a great companion on all adventures I have in my future.
Is it as robust as, say, a Spyderco Paramilitary 2? No, but the PM2 is also twice the weight. For most EDC-needs, the Bugout is more than adequate. Also, LOVE the Benchmade Life-Sharp service. Looking forward to using my knife so much that it needs the Benchmade "spa service". I know it will come back as near-to-new as I could ever hope for. Yes, Benchmade knives are expensive, but they're made in the US (yes, that matters), and are of high quality. Yes, the Chinese are making some pretty incredible knives for less, but something just doesn't sit will with me there. Glad I have a Bugout as part of my knife collection.
