The Benchmade 537 Bailout delivers a slim, ultralight profile with an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio, offering just two ounces of cutting confidence. Outfitted with black Grivory handles, a robust CPM-3V tanto blade, and a hard-anodized aluminum pommel with integrated lanyard slot, the Bailout is engineered for durability without the bulk. Unlike the drop-point blades of the traditional Bugout, the Bailout’s blade features a Japanese-inspired tanto profilea deliberate departure from the straighter, more aggressive tanto forms seen in models like the Griptilian, AFO II, and Barrage. This refined blade shape enhances tip strength while preserving slicing performance, making it a stealthy yet capable addition to any minimalist loadout.
