Reddit take

Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • I love my Bugout but Benchmade has to be in jeopardy of losing market share to new players in the game such as WE, Kizer, Vosteed, Civivi etc who are charging a good amount less for comparable and sometimes better products.
  • Bugout was clutch today for gift boxes of all sizes.
  • Bought myself a Bugout a few months ago, but wanted something that felt more substantial.
  • 5" survival type blade, I have a crooked river, Bugout and Osborne I like but I don't think they're a ton better than say an American spyderco
  • Mini grip but better steel, why not go bugout?

Cons

  • Hard to compare to the bugouts because I consider those my ultralight carry knives only. Wouldn’t use those for hard usage but this buck seems like it would take a beating.
  • Civivi Vision FG. Benchmade Bugout. Cold Steel AD10
  • Never thought anything would take the top spot in my pocket over my Bugout
  • I bought my brother a bugout back when you could get them for $99. Now you can’t get the base model for less than $180. This is more than the butterfly tax, this is greed unbound.
  • Neither one. Too overpriced for what they are. Spyderco everyday.

Some very popular models are Benchmade Bugout (I prefer the 940)
