Benchmade 535 Bugout Folding Knife Titanium SMKW Custom

The full-size Bugout takes on a premium, long-lasting character in this SMKW Customs Crew edition featuring solid gray titanium scales and a clean satin blade. These custom-fitted titanium handles replace the standard Grivory with a tougher, more refined material that brings added rigidity, a smooth metallic feel, and a balanced weight that still keeps the Bugout comfortably suited for daily carry. Their subtle gray finish gives the knife a modern, understated look that feels at home in the field, in the shop, or clipped discreetly inside a pocket.

Up front, the 3.24-inch CPM-S30V drop-point blade wears a crisp satin finish that highlights the steel’s fine grain while delivering reliable slicing power, excellent edge retention, and corrosion resistance. With a total length of 7.46 inches, this full-size configuration offers a comfortable, confident grip that makes extended cutting tasks easier and more controlled. Ambidextrous thumb studs allow fast one-handed opening, and the AXIS-style crossbar lock ensures secure, consistent lockup no matter the task.

This titanium-clad Bugout keeps everything users love about the platform—its slim build, its well-balanced blade, its everyday versatility—while adding a level of durability and refinement that elevates it into a long-term companion piece. It’s built to handle real use and built to look better with time.
