Benchmade SlipRidge_fixed

Rescope your kill kit. Envisioned as the core component of your big game gear loadout, the all-new 15650 SlipRidge™ Fixed Blade aims to be the most versatile tool in the field. Cut from stainless MagnaCut® super steel enhanced with SelectEdge®, ultra-fine edge sharpening process, this nimble fixed blade features a stabilized wood handle ergonomically designed to prevent rolling and provide maximum control, with a deep finger choil for enhanced safety. Contoured pinch points allow for more precise work with the high tip and large belly of the 3.8” drop-point blade, which provides the length needed to process large game while remaining agile for work in tighter spaces. Accompanied by a modular Boltaron® sheath allowing you to carry as you wish, with the option to add a gut hook attachment (sold separately), the 15650 SlipRidge™ Fixed Blade integrates with the rest of the SlipRidge™ Collection (15090 SlipRidge™ Folder and 11OR SlipRidge™ Hook).
