As the EDC knife cognoscenti are well aware, Benchmade’s rep in the space is so strong that it can charge a premium for its products. 

Thanks to excellent materials, precision machining, unparalleled quality and the Lifesharp lifetime maintenance program, the investment is sure to pay off over the long haul.

Those high prices also translate to major excitement over sales, which the brand itself does not often run. 

But thanks to Black Friday, you can score a 15% discount on a number of staples, including the beloved Bugout and Mini Bugout.

I’ve sourced a six-pack of the best bets below. Just don’t be too picky about skews, as these exact variants are the ones that are actually on sale right now. 

You can check out additional winners, including fixed blades, autos and kitchen cutlery, via the full Black Friday/Cyber Monday landing page. Happy hunting.

Benchmade Bugout

One of the brand’s most popular and enduring designs, the Bugout has earned its status as Benchmade’s flagship knife — and one of the best EDC knives you can buy, period. Highlights include a 3.24-inch S30V steel blade, grippy Grivory handle scales and a handle and reliably sturdy AXIS locking mechanism, all adding up to a weight that rides light in your pocket, 1.85 ounces.

Benchmade Mini Bugout

A spinoff of Benchmade’s best-selling Bugout EDC knife, the Mini Bugout looks very similar to the original — just a bit smaller. That means a 2.82-inch blade, an open length of 6.49 inches and a weight of 1.51 ounces, versus the full-size version’s 3.24-inch blade, 7.46-inch length and weight of 1.85 ounces. When it comes to materials, the baseline versions are strikingly similar, both featuring reliable CPM-S30V Premium Stainless Steel and durable, grippy Grivory handles.

Benchmade Barrage

The Warren Osborne-designed Barrage was already a banger thanks to the formidable 3.6-inch drop point blade deploying in a flash via Benchmade’s patented AXIS Assist rapid-release mechanism. Making it even better is this upgraded edition featuring S30V steel and a milled Richlite handle with a beautiful matte blue finish, complemented by a flat dark earth anodized thumb stud and satin-finished split-arrow pocket clip.

Benchmade Mini Osborne

This compact yet premium edition of a fan-favorite EDC knife does not skimp on materials. The business end is a 2.92-inch reverse tanto blade made of S90V super steel, while the handle scales are carbon fiber, which plays a significant role in the total package weighing in at just 1.89 ounces.

Benchmade Redoubt

Designed to toe the line between everyday carry use and more emergency-focused tasks, the Redoubt is a tough-as-nails folder perfect for when you’re “your own first responder,” as Benchmade puts it. Highlights include a Cerakoted 3.53-inch tanto blade made of CPM-D2 blade steel, grippy Grivory handle scales and of course the brand’s patented Axis Lock for easy one-handed operation.

Benchmade Mini Freek

There’s nothing freaky about this knife EDC bona fides, which come courtesy of a 3-inch drop-point blade made of S90V super steel, renowned for its edge retention and corrosion resistance, plus snazzy carbon fiber 3K twill handle scales, eye-catching ambidextrous thumb studs and a split-arrow tip-up pocket clip.
