Benchmade Bugout Crater Blue Aluminum | S90V | Drop-Point

Anodized aluminum scales in Crater Blue, a colour Benchmade pulled from deep water, paired with a CPM-S90V blade in Cerakote Crushed Silver and turquoise hardware. It is the best-looking Bugout in the range and the spec sheet backs it up. Worth knowing: this is S90V, not the M390 that runs in the Burnt Brass and Gray aluminum versions at the same $350. Both are premium powder stainless. S90V leans further toward raw edge retention; M390 balances edge holding against corrosion resistance and is a little easier to bring back. Neither is a bad answer — they are different answers. At 2.52 ounces it carries like the other aluminum Bugouts: more substantial than the Grivory, with a handle that does not flex.
