One and a half ounces. That is the whole pitch, and it is enough.
The Mini Bugout came out of people telling Benchmade the standard Bugout — already a famously light knife — could go smaller. Closed it is 3.7", small enough to disappear in a shirt pocket, and it still opens to a 2.82" drop-point blade that handles anything an everyday knife is actually asked to do.
Grivory is a glass-reinforced nylon: light, cheap to replace, and completely indifferent to water. That last part is why this ends up in a lot of wading jackets and boat bags. CPM-S30V blade, satin finished, stainless.
Orange is the one you can find when you drop it in the grass. White is the one that shows its age honestly. Both are $175 and mechanically identical.
