Benchmade 533SL-10 Seasonal Mini Bugout AXIS Lock Folding Knife - 2.82" CPM-S90V Crushed Silver Cerakote Drop Point Blade - Woodland Green Anodized Aluminum Handle (533SL-10)
Product Description
If you love the ultralight feel of the iconic Mini Bugout but want something with a bit more structural rigidity and a serious upgrade in blade steel, the Benchmade 533SL-10 Seasonal release hits all the right notes. Designed and manufactured in Oregon City, Oregon, this limited seasonal variant upgrades the standard ultralight platform with a premium metal chassis and top-tier American super steel.
The centerpiece of this build is its 2.82-inch drop point blade forged from CPM-S90V stainless steel. Packed with vanadium carbides, S90V is legendary in the knife community for holding a working edge far longer than standard EDC steels. The blade is treated with a sleek Crushed Silver Cerakote® finish, providing an added layer of corrosion defense while giving it a crisp, non-reflective matte look that contrasts beautifully with the handle. It flicks open smoothly using dual thumb studs powered by Benchmade's ambidextrous AXIS® lock mechanism.
Instead of the usual polymer scales, this seasonal edition features contoured 6061-T6 aluminum handles finished in a deep Woodland Green anodization. The aluminum scales give the knife a rigid, rock-solid feel in hand while adding virtually no bulk, keeping the total weight at a pocket-friendly 2.15 ounces. Accented with custom hardware touches and a reversible deep-carry pocket clip, the 533SL-10 Mini Bugout delivers custom-level aesthetics and high-end cutting power in a compact daily carry package.
*Bench Notes & Care Guidance:*
CPM-S90V is a true super steel when it comes to wear resistance, meaning you'll get incredible edge life between sharpenings. However, because it is so wear-resistant, touch-ups are best done using diamond or ceramic abrasives rather than traditional natural stones. The Crushed Silver Cerakote® coating protects the steel beneath from moisture and sap, but keeping the AXIS® lock mechanism and pivot clean with a light pass of compressed air and dry lubricant will keep the action feeling slick and hydraulic.
