Yes. It's generally tougher. Some people don't like the give that the og bugout has. G10 is typically a little harder without sacrificing the light weight that we know and love.

I have many knives. Been wanting a bugout. Finally got it. Was surprised at how small it was. But more so with how light it is. Im very sad all brass scales are sold out everywhere. But my Bugout came with one of the brass washers like glued to the liner and excess glue protruding out. the blade didnt move very well. But nothing a tear down didnt fix. I do wish the blade would close more effortlessly. But Brass scales are my first order once I find them. Would alot like a longer pocket clip.

Flytanium just restocked the full size copper bugout scales. The black on copper is hot and it adds some weight to the knife. Just feels and looks good. I definitely did it the hard way and removed every piece of the original kit rather than one side at a time. Oh well, live and learn.

Believe it or not, Benchmade won't void warranty on their knives if they have aftermarket scales. They will however require you to sign a disclaimer protecting them from legal trouble if your aftermarket scales end up getting damaged for any reason as a result of the warranty work. They'll email it to you upon receipt of the knife and before they do any work on it.

I have a bugout that I got from a friend who owed me but I think I got a bad example of one. The grind was uneven so I've had to do my best to fix that which hasn't gone as great as I'd like due to what I have at my disposal to use, lots of blade play when the action is nice rather than stiff, and 3 of the body screws fell out and have been lost. Was stoked when I get it but it's been kinda a disappointment. I will say though part of me wonders if its even a legit one or if its a counterfeit.
