The Bugout. Rebuilt. 33% thinner. The Vapyr is everything the Bugout was meant to be.
The Benchmade Bugout Vapyr 534BK is not a variation of the Bugout. It is a rethinking of it. Benchmade engineered the Vapyr chassis to be 33% thinner than the standard Bugout handle while delivering a longer cycle life through the AXIS Lock mechanism. The result is the slimmest, lowest-profile Bugout ever produced, built on a black anodized 6061-T6 aluminum chassis with a Taiga Green backspacer and matching thumb stud that add a subtle contrast to the all-black build. The 3.25" CPM-MagnaCut drop point blade carries a black Cerakote finish. At 1.72 oz with a standard carry clip positioned tip-down, the Vapyr is the carry-first version of the Bugout platform. AXIS Lock, ambidextrous thumb studs, lanyard hole. Made in Oregon City, Oregon.
Note from Lone Star Knife & Supply: The Vapyr is what the Bugout looks like when Benchmade asks what else can be taken away without giving anything up. 33% thinner handle, 1.72 oz, MagnaCut under black Cerakote, aluminum chassis. If you want the lightest, slimmest Bugout available, the Vapyr is the answer. Oregon made and backed for life.

Why You'll Want It
The Vapyr is the Bugout for people who have always wanted the platform to go further. 33% thinner, 1.72 oz, MagnaCut, aluminum chassis, Taiga Green accents. It carries like almost nothing is there and performs like a Benchmade. That is exactly the point.
