I have several Bugouts and this is my favorite. These scales are top notch and feel so good in the hand. The fit and finish is exactly as i would expect from Benchmade. The blade should have had a better edge on it but i always resharpen my knives anyway.
I have a soft spot for ultra-thin pocket knives that clip to your pocket for easy access but are light enough to disappear when not in use. I lost my spearpoint Pardou 530, and the Bug-out 535-09 is its replacement. Its price is pretty dire, but the knife does not disappoint. Great fit in my hand for carving or cutting. Looks great, light, slim, but stronger than my old 530. I particularly like the lock open design and trust it to not fold on my fingers. Very nice knife. Recommended.
