For those looking for something a little more robust, the 537GY-1 Bailout takes lightweight strength one step further. Outfitted with woodland green anodized aluminum handles and a CPM-M4 super tool steel blade, this Bailout can hang with the best of them despite its slim profile.

Differing from the drop-point blades of the traditional Bugout models, the 537’s blade mimics a Japanese profile tanto, as opposed to the tanto Benchmade has used on models like the Griptillian, AFO II, and Barrage that sport a straight belly and crisp primary bevel. This design was influenced by a desire to embolden the tip strength of the blade while maintaining superior slicing performance.
