The bugout has the smoothest action/drop shut I have ever experienced from the factory, so why not try the mini? I prefer metal scales, which is why I bought the 535BK-4 Bugout. I was skeptical about carbon fiber for this reason but this does not disappoint. Light and super sturdy. Grippy but also smooth and perfectly centered.
The materials used in this knife are good quality but the fit and finish is somehow worse than most of the knives I own that are a fraction of the cost. This one must have slipped through Benchmades QC.. I wish I could recommend this knife but I think it's overpriced. The blade on mine is so off center that it is almost contacting the scale. I'm not pleased with this purchase.
