Bugout® Family: Ultralight EDC Knives

The Bugout® Family defines what a lightweight EDC knife should be—simple, capable, and always ready. Designed to disappear in your pocket until needed, these knives balance minimal carry weight with durable materials and reliable mechanisms. If you’ve carried bulkier folders, the Bugout® shows just how refined and lightweight an EDC knife can feel.

Meet the Bugout® Lineup

The Bugout® series continues to grow because it delivers on what people want most in a lightweight EDC knife—portability, durability, and purpose-driven design. The Bugout® 535GRY-1 pairs ranger green handles with a smoked gray Cerakote® blade, delivering subtle styling with everyday capability. For a stealth option, the Bugout® 535BK-2 features a blacked-out design and CF-Elite® handle technology, offering lighter weight with increased rigidity. Those looking for a compact choice can turn to the Mini Bugout® 533, a 1.5-ounce folder that’s small enough to carry anywhere yet strong enough for daily tasks. For those who want something truly personal, you can design your own Custom Bugout® or Custom Mini Bugout®, choosing the colors, materials, and finishes that make the knife uniquely yours.
