KnifeCenter Exclusive MagnaCut Bugout FAQ

This exclusive collection pairs Benchmade's ultra-lightweight Bugout platform with high-performance CPM-MagnaCut blade steel in distinctive color configurations. Learn how these models differ from standard versions and what makes them capable everyday carry tools.

What makes these Benchmade Bugouts different from the standard model?
These KnifeCenter exclusive Bugouts replace standard CPM-S30V blade steel with premium CPM-MagnaCut steel and feature unique handle and hardware colorways. They retain the ultra-lightweight profile, slim drop point blade, and ambidextrous AXIS lock that made the original Bugout an everyday carry benchmark.
How does CPM-MagnaCut steel perform compared to CPM-S30V?
CPM-MagnaCut provides significantly higher toughness and superior corrosion resistance compared to CPM-S30V, while offering slightly better edge retention. Its increased toughness creates a more stable edge that can support thinner sharpening angles without chipping, taking full advantage of the Bugout's thin blade geometry and slicing capability.
What colors and blade finishes are available in this exclusive lineup?
This exclusive collection includes several handle and hardware combinations, such as black handles with green accents, red handles with matching hardware, and olive tan variants. Blades are available in both stonewashed and black-coated finishes, all built on lightweight Grivory handle scales.
What locking mechanism is used on the MagnaCut Bugout?
The MagnaCut Bugout uses Benchmade's patented AXIS lock, a crossbar locking mechanism known for ambidextrous operation and exceptional strength. You can learn more about how it operates in our guide to folding knife lock types. The lock allows for smooth one-handed opening and closing without placing fingers in the blade path.
Can these MagnaCut Bugouts accept aftermarket handles?
Yes, these knives use the standard Bugout frame and footprint, making them fully compatible with the wide array of aftermarket Bugout scales and accessories available. They offer an ideal foundation for enthusiasts looking to build a custom carry knife around a MagnaCut blade without paying extra for premium factory handle materials upfront.
