Benchmade Bugout Vapyr Review: Is it just a $375 reskin?

Jacob Miller on June 25, 2026, in Model, Reviews
Tags: Benchmade, Bugout, Pocket Knives

In This Review: Is the Benchmade Bugout Vapyr just another reskin? No. But hold on—there’s more to it. The Bugout Vapyr is still a Bugout, but it has more going for it than a shiny new coat of paint (though it does have that). It’s been rebuilt to be lighter, thinner, tougher, and more user-friendly....

Benchmade 940 Osborne Review – Is It Still Great in 2025?

George Muhlestein on July 31, 2025, in Brand, Reviews

We’ve all heard the phrase, “Jack of all trades, master of none”, but is it true when it comes to pocket knives? A steadfast favorite of knife lovers, I put the Benchmade 940 Osborne through its paces to see if it lives up to its rich reputation. And after testing I will assign it a Knife Life Score. The 940 was first introduced at Blade Show in the year 2000. Now old enough to drive, get a tattoo, and fight for the US military, how has the Osborne aged...
