Benchmade Black Friday Deals

Which Benchmade Should You Buy?

Start with the knife that matches how you carry. The Bugout is a light drop-point folder that disappears in a pocket, and the Mini Bugout shrinks it further. The Mini Griptilian is a classic sheepsfoot with an ambidextrous lock, long a favorite for everyday carry. The Osborne is a reverse-tanto folder with a flat, rounded profile, available in aluminum and Micarta handles.

• Bugout (S30V or S90V): lightweight, general-purpose EDC.
• Mini Bugout: for small pockets and lighter tasks.
• Mini Griptilian: a proven all-rounder with a sheepsfoot blade for controlled cutting.
• Osborne (S30V or M390): sturdier, with a more distinctive blade shape.

Steel choices matter. S30V is a long-time premium standard, while S90V and M390 hold an edge longer but are harder to sharpen. The snapshot also includes a SOCP dagger and a Saddle Mountain Skinner for hunting, both aimed at narrower uses. Most buyers do well with a Bugout or Mini Griptilian.

Handle material changes feel and weight. Grivory is light and durable, aluminum is stiffer and colder in the hand, and Micarta is grippy and warm. Think about wet hands before cosmetic colors.

When Do Benchmade Deals Drop?

Black Friday is November 27, with Cyber Monday on November 30. If a Benchmade listing you want shows a markdown, that is worth a look before you wait for something bigger. Amazon has not announced the dates of its Black Friday Week, but early deals are live in its holiday listings, and some show a Limited time deal badge.

Retailers also match each other only loosely: Amazon has no general price-match policy, so what the grid shows is what you pay. Our grid updates from live Amazon data every day. When you want to compare against other brands, the pocket knife and multitool deals page has the rest of the category.
