Benchmade 533 Mini

Benchmade introduced this little version of their renowned Bugout variant in 2020 - The Benchmade 533 Mini. The Mini is slightly lighter and also slightly shorter (the total lengths vary by more than an inch). And it has a nearly half-inch shorter blade compared to the Bugout. Nonetheless, the little knife is a force to be reckoned with when it comes to chopping.


Throughout our testing session, the CPM S30V blades of these Benchmade 533 Mini knives sliced cleanly and rapidly through foods, cardboards, and rope of various sizes. Even better, the rough Grivory grip felt safe and strong even when we lay onto it. We are also huge fans of the crossbar latching mechanisms, and Benchmade's Axis proves to be the best in the Mini. The spring that disconnected the lock was firm yet smooth, allowing us to tuck the blades away neatly.


The vivid orange is hardly subtle, but we did not mind, particularly when stuffed inside our hiking bag. Even in dim light, the brilliant hue was easily visible.
