The hard-working Bailout family of tactical folders has long been revered for its no-holds-barred ability to balance strength and durability with a slim, ultralight build for quickness and comfort through tough tasks, making it just as impressive as a daily carry tool as it is in the field. The 537BK-07 Bailout and serrated-edge counterpart 537SBK-07 Bailout introduce amplified toughness to this impressive design. Enhanced with a wear-and-corrosion-resistant CPM-MagnaCut tanto blade with a DLC Battlewash finish, these new workhorse variants are finished off with sturdy, diamond-textured Burnt Copper anodized aluminum handle scales and black oxide hardware.

Differing from the drop-point blades of the traditional Bugout models, the 537's blade mimics a Japanese profile tanto, as opposed to the tanto Benchmade has used on models like the Griptillian, AFO II, and Barrage that sport a straight belly and crisp primary bevel. This design was influenced by a desire to embolden the tip strength of the blade while maintaining superior slicing performance.
