TheBenchmade 535BK-4 Bugout is an ultra-lightweight edc knife in a deluxe version, featuring M390 super steel, aircraft-grade aluminum facings and red-finish accessories.
M390 - the queen of knife steels
The knife uses a blade with a utilitarian drop-point profile, made of M390 steel, considered the best steel in the world used in factory knives This super steel is hardened to a hardness of 59-61 HRC. M390 is a luxury stainless steel with a very high vanadium and carbon content, which make the blade unusually have excellent retention, very resistant to abrasion and corrosion. When choosing a hard steel knife, get a diamond sharpener, as sharpening with a standard ceramic whetstone can be very labor-intensive and inefficient.
