Full Specifications

The result of overwhelming feedback, the Bugout® has been scaled down in the form of the new 533 Mini Bugout®. Available in three different colorways, the Mini Bugout® maintains the same material configuration as its full-sized counterparts in a 1.5 ounce package. With a closed length of 3.7", this ultralight folder is small enough for a mint tin, yet big enough for adventure.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Mini Bugout® different from other compact EDC folders? +

The Mini Bugout® stands out by offering a 'full-size' cutting experience in an ultralight, 1.5-ounce package. While many compact folders sacrifice ergonomics or lock strength, the Mini Bugout® retains the legendary AXIS® lock and a 2.82-inch blade, making it tough enough for real work while remaining virtually weightless in a pocket.

What is the difference between the Mini Bugout® 533 and the full-size Bugout® 535? +
Who is the Mini Bugout best suited for? +

The Mini Bugout® is built for versatility. It's ideal for minimalist EDC users who want maximum performance with minimal pocket bulk, office professionals who need a discreet yet capable cutting tool, and outdoor enthusiasts tackling hiking, backpacking, or camping where every ounce matters. Small enough to fit in a mint-tin, it appeals to anyone prioritizing lightweight carry without sacrificing blade quality or lock strength.

Is the Mini Bugout® good for hiking and backpacking? +

Yes, it is the gold standard for ultralight backpacking and trail running. It provides a premium S30V cutting edge for camp tasks, food prep, or emergency gear repairs without adding any meaningful weight to your kit. Its compact 3.7-inch closed length even allows it to fit inside a standard survival mint tin or a small shoulder-strap pocket.

Why is Grivory® a good handle material for the Mini Bugout? +

Grivory is a glass-filled thermoplastic composite that's lightweight, durable, and trusted in aerospace and automotive industries. It offers excellent toughness without adding weight, keeping the Mini Bugout® at just 1.5 oz while maintaining impact resistance for hard use. It won't crack or warp, provides a secure grip texture even when wet, and stays comfortable in extreme temperatures, unlike metal handles.

How does the AXIS® Lock function on such a small frame? +

The Mini Bugout® uses the same proven AXIS® Lock mechanism as the full-size Bugout®, just fitted to a smaller frame. A spring-loaded bar engages the blade tang to create a secure lockup that's as strong as any frame lock or liner lock. The ambidextrous design allows one-handed opening and closing from either side, and the lock remains fully functional despite the knife's compact 3.7" closed length.
