Bugout® Vapyr | Black Aluminum | Drop-Point
Quick Verdict
The Bugout Vapyr is an ultra-lightweight EDC folder that refines the classic Bugout design with a thinner profile and extended cycle life. The Magnacut steel blade paired with a black Cerakote finish offers excellent corrosion resistance and edge retention. At just 52g, it's one of the lightest full-size folding knives available.

Overview
This is the Bugout® redefined—33% thinner and longer cycle life than a standard Bugout. Built on a black aluminum chassis with a Taiga Green backspacer and matching thumb stud, it features a premium Magnacut drop-point blade finished in stealthy black Cerakote®. Lightweight, low-profile, and high-performance—everything the Bugout® was meant to be, pushed even further.
