REI EXCLUSIVE BUGOUT
Yes , I recommend this product
I finally went to my local REI store and purchased their Exclusive Benchmade 535 Bugout in Forest Green/Sunrise with a black cerekote S30V blade and lanyard. Very happy with my purchase as I like Benchmade products and unique exclusives. This a an easy carry, lightweight knife that looks out-doorsy. Plus it’s a time tested product that can withstand the elements of both a family camping trip or a serious deep country expedition. Highly recommended. Thank you.

A Stunning Take on a Proven Favorite
Yes , I recommend this product
As a long-time fan of the Bugout platform, this REI-exclusive 535BK-2504 completely nails the details. The black Cerakote S30V blade is razor-sharp, durable, and handles everything from daily tasks to backcountry use with ease. The Grivory handle keeps it ultra-light while still offering a solid grip, and the burnt copper thumb stud and barrel spacers add just the right pop of personality without being over the top. The mini deep-carry clip keeps it discreet in the pocket, and the included 425 paracord lanyard with black bead is a smart, functional touch. To top it off, REI’s customer service was excellent—great communication, fast processing, and delivery ahead of schedule. This knife is a beauty, and the buying experience made it even better. Well done, Benchmade and REI!
