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!
