Frequently Asked Questions
What makes CPM-S30V steel special for EDC knives?
CPM-S30V is a premium powder metallurgy stainless steel that holds a sharp edge longer than most steels while remaining easy to sharpen. The 58-60 HRC hardness provides the right balance of edge retention and toughness for daily cutting tasks.
Can the pocket clip be moved to different positions?
Yes, the mini deep-carry clip is reversible and can be positioned for tip-up or tip-down carry on either side of the handle to match your carry preference.
How does the AXIS lock work?
The AXIS lock uses a spring-loaded bar that moves forward to lock the blade open and backward to release it. You can operate it with either hand using your thumb or index finger on the lock bar.
What is Grivory handle material?
Grivory is a glass-filled nylon polymer that provides excellent strength-to-weight ratio. It resists impact and temperature changes while keeping the overall knife weight minimal for comfortable pocket carry.
Is this knife suitable for tactical use?
The Bugout is designed for everyday carry and general cutting tasks. While it features quality materials and construction, it's optimized for lightweight daily use rather than heavy-duty tactical applications.
