Taylor Swift is such a sensation for Swifties that literally every move she makes gets scrutinized and analyzed to death.
While I am undertaking a huge metaphorical leap here, one could say the same of Benchmade’s Bugout with regard to pocket knife enthusiasts.
A justifiable hit since its introduction in 2017, the reigning EDC champ makes news every time it gets a new blade or handle treatment, which Benchmade is savvy enough to do just often enough.
But even as Benchmade has introduced MagnaCut in a number of its other knives, the super-est super steel has by and large steered clear of the Bugout.
That all changes now, in an unexpected way, thanks to Benchmade’s online Customizer.
Have it your way
It’s not just a Burger King slogan anymore, as Benchmade recently updated the Customizer, adding some eye-popping new blade steel and handle options for the 535 (Bugout) as well as the 940 (Osbourne).
Among these is the aforementioned MagnaCut, which has dominated the premium knife space for the past few years thanks to its remarkable blend of edge retention, corrosion resistance and toughness.
Benchmade is not immune to its charms, as you can find this blade material in more than a dozen of the brand’s offerings, including fishing knives, Bugout-adjacent knives like the Bailout and TaggedOut and also the PSK and the Osbourne.
For whatever reason, there is no MagnaCut Bugout, but the Customizer lets you procure just such a knife with a few clicks, even adding artwork, text, a serrated edge and what appears to be black Cerakote finish if you so desire.
