Weighing in at  1.6 oz., and a thin profile, the Benchmade 533-3 Mini Bugout is very pocket friendly. The carbon fiber handles gives this Mini Bugout a classy look. The satin finish high-performance CPM-S90V steel drop point style blade sports a partial swedge to provide a finer point, and comes fitted with blue finish dual thumb studs for easy one-handed operation. The AXIS® lock mechanism offers a fully ambidextrous build. Comes complete with an oversized lanyard hole and reversible deep-carry clip for convenient EDC.

CPM-S90V Steel: CPM-S90V steel is well known for its wear-resistance. According to Crucible, S90V is used in plastic feed screws, valve components, nozzles, slitters, cutters, gear pumps, pelletizing equipment, bearings, and other hard use parts. In the knifemaking world, S90V is legendary for its near perfect edge-retention. It is close to impossible to dull a blade made of CPM S90V. That being said, you need the patience of a saint to sharpen it, however infrequent that may be. S90V is in the upper echelon of knifemaking “super steels”, as is evident by the hefty price tag that accompanies the knives to which it adorns.
