We decided to mix it up a little bit with this premium Bugout® and, like, literally mix some materials. Inspired by the earthy tones found in our outdoor gear, backpacking kits, and accessories around the campsite, the new 535-09 Bugout® sets itself apart from others we’ve built thanks to handle scales that contrast a gray anodized 6061-T6 aluminum bolster with a Redstone Richlite onlay, plus a few other added pops of color found in the orange anodized thumb stud and backspacer. Featuring a premium CPM-S90V stainless steel stonewash polished blade, this unique 535-09 Bugout® has the same stunningly lightweight and compact feel as its predecessors and remains the ideal EDC on any outdoor adventure from the mountain trail to tasks around town. Over time, Richlite®, a paper composite material, will develop a natural patina over time, altering the original color of the material. "Patina” is a natural occurrence in the product that can either darken or lighten depending on exposure to light.
