**Oregon-made knives that can handle the rigors of day-to-day work and the harsh circumstances of emergency situations**
To capture the true essence of their knives, founder Les De Asis settled on the name Benchmade as it best described the marrying of the two manufacturing processes used to make each knife—precision machine engineering paired with finishing touches made by hand. After 30 years of business, each knife is made from start to finish in their Oregon City HQ, and their eclectic assortment reflects decades of innovation and quality. The Bugout was designed for the modern outdoor adventurer, incorporating the lightest, best performing materials in an extremely slim yet ergonomic package.
