Very very happy that I went with this vs Infidel. As much as I like Benchmade, the craftsmanship of this Microtech is far superior.

So Benchmade scrolled across my FB screen for $60.00. Yeah…scam I thought. All the comments said the same. Why did I do it…..a fool and his money. But I’ll be damned if this isn’t a legit Benchmade. If it isn’t still worth every bit of $60.00.

I was looking at the CF version of the Bugout and then realized that the blade for the CF model is greyish (satin) not black.

I then looked at the font (S90V) and its not quite right. The real version has more of an italic thicker font. Also, the proximity in relation to the thumb stud. The butterfly is also not quite in the right location, in relation to the contours of the knife.

For the money, still a great purchase, IMO.

Bro, I promise you… Not trying to be bearer of “bad“ news or shit on your purchase. It is a copycat. The one you have is an imitation, for sure, no doubt about it. The more I look, the more apparent it becomes.

The carbon fiber model bugout is $300+

This is the real Carbon Fiber (Benchmade website):

its not just the fact that Benchmade does not make black coated blade Carbon Fiber Bugout models (Unless you are making a custom order). It also has different font for the steel type lettering, the butterfly size and location is off. Its the contour of the bevel. Also, the screw heads.

Where is the link for where you purchased the knife from?

Trust me, no way it’s real…I get it. But damn it’s hard to see a difference.

It got me too, at first… I had to do a triple take.

This one was one of the biggest tells for me (contour of the bevel):

Anyways, like I said, for $60, that was still a great purchase…. Now you can just use the hell out of it and not feel bad for beating on an expensive knife.

Little research pays off! FAKE! Still worth EVERY PENNY.

Rotated out my EDC. Sharpened it up on a wicked edge as well.

I'm not the biggest fan of S30V, it is chippy. But it's sharp.
