What Benchmade says:
For those looking for an elevated variant of the outdoor adventurer’s go-to EDC called the Bugout, look no further than the premium 535BK-07. Keeping with the slim yet ergonomic profile of the Bugout while advancing the materials, the handsome new 535BK-07 dons eye-catching Burnt Brass anodized 6061-T6 aluminum handle scales and a premium M390 stainless steel blade with a black DLC battlewash finish. Sprinkle in some tasteful color — a its turquoise anodized thumb stud and barrel spacer — and the 535BK-07 is the Bugout that looks and performs just as brilliantly around the campsite as it does carried in dress up mode.

6061-T6 Aluminum
Exceptionally tough, yet lightweight. Aluminum can be anodized in many colors and milled with fine detail. It also naturally resists corrosion.

M390 Super Premium Stainless Steel (58-61 HRC)
A super-performance, powdered-metal blade steel with exceptional edge retention and corrosion resistance. Takes a very fine edge.

Drop Point
Drops off the spine to the tip. Tip height is typically below the center line on the blade.

Quinn Knives' take:
The latest offering in the Benchmade line once again takes a tried-and-true model, the venerable Bugout, and completely transforms the feel of it with a materials refresh. While we've had an M390/Aluminum Bugout before with the 535BK-4, the reshaping and smooth texturing of the 535BK-07, coupled with the colorway, give this a different personality. If you're looking for a great everyday carry with well-proven, top-tier materials, this is a great option.

Note: The handle colorway is called "Burnt Brass" but the material is 6061-T6 aluminum.
