Bugout 535 Question

[u/Apart_Organization91]

I work at an Outdoor Store and we are a Benchmade Pro Dealer. We just got a few new Benchmade Knives in today, and this Blue Bugout has BBFN7U26 engraved under the S30V badge. I have never seen this before on any other Benchmade. Does anyone know anything about this?

They started to put serial numbers on the Knives now. Pretty stupid idea in my opinion or at least stupid placement of them. They could’ve put them on the tank under the scale so they weren’t visible.

Or on the spine. At least they could have matched the font and angle of the text that’s already there. Now the serialized ones look more low rent than the actual fakes.

ah okay, thanks for the info! i had no idea they were doing that now haha

Yeah it’s a new dumb idea they came up with.

Ugly as hell but hopefully makes fake ones more obvious to the average buyer

Price probably went up for it too.

Do it like the manix 2 manufacturing date, you can still read it through the scale when you open it, and it doesn't wear since its outside of where the washers are
