Bailout vs. Bugout: What’s the Difference?

Both the Benchmade Bailout and the Benchmade Bugout are top‑tier slim EDC knives, but they’re designed for different user needs:

Benchmade Bugout – Ultralight and versatile, with drop point blades and Grivory or Carbon Fiber handles. Perfect for everyday carry and casual outdoor use.
Benchmade Bailout – Slightly longer and tougher, with premium steels and tanto or drop point blade options. Built for those who want a more tactical‑ready, reinforced design.

In short: Choose the Bugout if you want a feather‑light daily companion, or the Bailout if you prefer extra durability and a more tactical knife.
