Benchmade 15650-COMBO SlipRidge Dark Stabilized Wood MagnaCut Fixed Blade Hunting Knife & Gut Hook Combo (3.70" Blade)

This Benchmade 15650-COMBO SlipRidge is a mid-size hunting fixed blade in MagnaCut, its dark stabilized wood scales set over a full tang. A Rust Orange gut hook ships alongside and nests on the same sheath.

• Magnacut Drop Point Blade - Magnacut resists rust better than most steels that cut this well. That matters on a knife working in blood and rain. The high tip and wide belly carry long slicing passes, and SelectEdge sharpening puts a finer angle on the edge.
• Dark Stabilized Wood Scales - Stabilized wood is impregnated with resin all the way through, so it holds its shape in wet weather instead of swelling the way raw wood does. Dark grain sets the SlipRidge apart from synthetic hunting handles. Pinch points and a deep choil govern the close cuts.
• 440C Gut Hook in Rust Orange Cerakote - Benchmade describes the hook as the fast zipper cut early in field dressing, which keeps the main blade clean for the finer work after. 440C is a mid-grade stainless that sharpens easily, under a hard ceramic coating in matching Rust Orange.
• Modular Boltaron Sheath - The OD Green Boltaron shell is MOLLE compatible and rides on a belt, a pack strap, or a bino harness with no added hardware. Boltaron holds its shape through cold and heat, and it rinses clean rather than soaking up what you cut.

The Benchmade SlipRidge

The Benchmade SlipRidge is a mid-size hunting fixed blade meant to take a field-dressing job from start to finish, while remaining useful for other outdoor chores during the off-season. Built in Oregon City, the blade lands in the sweet spot, a length Benchmade chose to be long enough to break down a large animal and agile enough for close work. Thin stock and a high flat grind make it a slicer first, with a fine tip for opening and a long belly for the pulls that follow. Sitting within the Hunt Line, its weight falls back in the palm while a deep finger choil brings the hand close behind the edge, so the small cuts remain controlled.
