{"product_id":"benchmade-535-09-bugout-s90v-gray-aluminum-redstone-richlite","title":"Benchmade 535-09 Bugout Folding Knife — CPM-S90V Stonewash, Gray Aluminum \u0026 Redstone Richlite Handle","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe Bugout reimagined for the outdoor adventurer — the Benchmade 535-09 takes the world's most celebrated ultralight EDC folder and gives it an earthy, camp-inspired makeover that feels right at home on the trail, at the trailhead, and everywhere in between. Inspired by the tones found in vintage outdoor gear, backpacking kits, and basecamp accessories, this variant brings premium materials and a distinctive personality to the iconic Bugout platform.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eAt the heart of the 535-09 is a 3.24\" drop-point blade crafted from CPM-S90V stainless steel — a super steel step-up from the standard Bugout's CPM-S30V, delivering superior edge retention, wear resistance, and corrosion resistance in the same slim, ultralight package. The stonewash finish gives the blade a refined, field-ready appearance that hides use wear without sacrificing the clean aesthetics the Bugout is known for. Dual ambidextrous orange anodized thumb studs provide fast, confident one-handed deployment, and Benchmade's AXIS Lock delivers rock-solid lockup at just 2.52 oz overall.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe handle is where this Bugout truly distinguishes itself. Gray anodized 6061-T6 aluminum bolsters contrast beautifully with warm Redstone Richlite onlays — a paper composite material renowned for its toughness, moisture resistance, and natural character. The result is a handle with the structural rigidity of aluminum and the warmth and grip of a natural material, all in a color palette that evokes the dusty reds and earthy grays of the best outdoor adventures. Orange anodized thumb studs and backspacer echo the accent color for a cohesive, considered look that sets this Bugout apart from every other variant in the lineup. A reversible deep-carry pocket clip rounds out a thoughtfully designed package. Proudly made in the USA and backed by Benchmade's LifeSharp lifetime sharpening service.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"[li_\u0026amp;]:mb-0 [li_\u0026amp;]:mt-1 [li_\u0026amp;]:gap-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ul]:pb-1 [\u0026amp;:not(:last-child)_ol]:pb-1 list-disc flex flex-col gap-1 pl-8 mb-3\"\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Length: 3.24\" (82.30 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Thickness: 0.090\" (2.29 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eOpen Length: 7.46\" (189.48 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eClosed Length: 4.22\" (107.19 mm)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Steel: CPM-S90V Stainless Steel (59-61 HRC)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Style: Drop Point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Finish: Stonewash\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBlade Edge: Plain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eHandle Material: Gray Anodized 6061-T6 Aluminum Bolster with Redstone Richlite Onlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eThumb Stud: Orange Anodized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eBackspacer: Orange Anodized\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eLocking Mechanism: AXIS Lock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003ePocket Clip: Reversible Deep-Carry, Tip-Up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eWeight: 2.52 oz (71.44 g)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"font-claude-response-body whitespace-normal break-words pl-2\"\u003eMade in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIn Stock \u0026amp; Ready to Ship from ClassicBlades.
