Benchmade Mini Bugout CF-Elite AXIS Folding Knife 2.82" S30V Black Cerakote Plain Blade, Graphite Black CF-Elite Handles
I switch between many different EDC's, but every time I pull the Mini Bugout of my pocket and use it, I am reminded why it is one of my favorites. It's so small and light you hardly notice it in your pocket, but it's solidly built and the nicely bellied blade is just long enough for most cutting tasks, and thin enough to cut fruit. If you hold the axis lock back, a slight flick of the wrist kicks the blade out or back in, and there's no risk of nickng your thumb like you have with a liner lock. The coated S30V blade is virtually corrosion proof and sharpens like the dickens, although I've only had to sharpen mine a couple times because the steel holds a great edge. The textured handle is non-slip even when wet. These are the reasons why the Mini is one of Benchmade's most popular knives.

Benchmade mini Bugout 533-BK2
Bought my very first Benchmade knife with S30V steel blade in September 2022 and really like it very well I’ve used it a few times now and haven’t had to actually sharpen it yet. Can’t wait to sharpen the S30V steel blade for the very first time to see how it holds a edge and how easy it is to sharpen I generally never let my knives get very dull so sharpening the S30V shouldn’t be a problem at all. I really like the warranty that they offer with the lifesharp program to where you can send it back in and they will clean it up and oil it and sharpen it up at no cost haven’t done this yet but will definitely keep it in mind for future reference. But I’ve been sharpening knives since 1997 and have sharpening equipment that’s over 100 years old so I don’t think I’ll have any problems with sharpening the S30V.

Benchmade 533BK-2 mini Bugout S30V with black handles and black blade
Bought my Benchmade 533BK-2 Mini Bugout in September 2022 my very first Benchmade purchase and knife and my very first with the S30V steel blade. Didn’t start carrying it till after October when was done camping and started wearing jeans again because I didn’t want to lose it from a pair of shorts being pockets are shallower. I’ve used it a few times this fall and winter but not enough to sharpen it yet. Kinda curious to see how the S30V steel actually sharpens for the very first time. I also have the 533 mini Bugout with orange handles and S30V also and I actually rotate between them both.
