My wife was out of town so I thought it would be a good time to inventory the bugouts. I sort of lost track. 24 here, then after the picture I found 4 more. So 28 bugs total right now. I'm going to gift a few of them to family for Christmas, to thin the herd a little (and make room for more). Almost all are S30V, 3 are Magnacut, 1 S90V, and 1 20CV. The 20CV is a Smokey Mountain Knife Works that I bought off eBay, someone did a blade swap and took out the M4, and put in a serrated 20CV. Still a cool knife.

Just got this in the mail. Triage 917. Ordered during the 30% off sale that was going on on a couple of sites. I really like the look and feel of this knife. I put it in my pocket and a few minutes later pulled it out to look at again and the blade almost "fell" open. I realized I could just flick my wrist and it would open without pulling the axis bar back or anything. On further inspection it looks like it was put together with only 1 axis or omega spring! There is no spring on the clip side, causing the axis bar to have very little tension. I'm sure Benchmade will take care of it, just a little bummed.

New (to me) serrated knife day. My new EDC for now. This is a hefty knife, and best of all...serrated.

This is the latest edition to my serrated collection, and my EDC for the foreseeable future. I love this knife!... and best of all, it's serrated. Presidio II.

Putting this Bugout together for my son as a surprise. Flytanium scales, and axis bar. I got cheap on the gold titanium (supposedly) screw and pivot set. Picked it up from Amazon. The axis bar is slightly to big to fit through. I swear this is the last time I order cheap stuff from Amazon :). I see where I can get the screw set from Flytanium, and I trust their stuff. But I don't see any pivot pins on their site. I really want to get a good set of screws and a pivot pin, in gold. Where is a trustworthy supplier for gold titanium screws and a pin?

I'm not really a mini guy, but I do like these three. Best thing about them? Serrates.

Just picked up the green bugout, used, it was in the mail when I got home today. I noticed the pivot pin is in backwards. I will take it apart and clean it up in the next day or 2, probably swap out the shortly clip. It has the factory aluminum handle and the 20CV blade. As you can see, I like partially serrated knives.

Picked this guy up on eBay. Looks right to me. I usually pull the pin that the blade sits on and check the size. On Bugouts the chinese knock-offs are always metric 5mm, where the genuine made in USA are 3/16". Pin on this one is 7/16", handle screws also not metric. Thanks!

With some full size friends.

To the gentleman who commented “OH BOY! Another Bugout!” on my last post and then immediately deleted it:

I saw you.

I just wanted you to know I took your feedback to heart. So this time I proudly present… OH BOY! Another Benchmade! (Presidio II edition)

Hope this one hits different. Catch you on the next one king 👑

New knife day came twice this month. Grabbed the GOVX exclusive, carbon fiber, Magnacut, bugout. Here she is hanging with some friends...

Partially serrated, magnacut, crimson grivory handle. I love "new knife day"!
