Benchmade SlipRidge 15090-01
The Benchmade SlipRidge 15090-01 is a purpose-built folding hunting knife designed for serious field use. Benchmade combines a broad 3.5-inch MagnaCut® stainless steel blade with rugged Rust Orange G10 handle scales to create a highly visible hunting knife that’s easy to carry and ready for demanding cutting tasks.
Part of Benchmade’s Hunt Collection, the SlipRidge is specifically designed as a hunting workhorse for field dressing and big game processing.
3.5-Inch MagnaCut Blade
The Benchmade SlipRidge uses a 3.5-inch MagnaCut® stainless steel blade hardened to 60-62 HRC.
Its modified clip-point profile provides the control and slicing performance needed for precision cutting tasks in the field. Benchmade also uses its SelectEdge® ultra-fine edge sharpening process to deliver excellent cutting performance directly from the factory.
The blade receives a satin finish that complements the bright Rust Orange G10 handle.
Next-Generation AXIS Lock
Benchmade equips the SlipRidge 15090-01 with its next-generation AXIS® Lock system.
The knife uses full liner construction for durability, while the AXIS Lock provides the reliable operation expected from a premium Benchmade folding knife.
Rust Orange G10 Handle
One of the biggest differences between the 15090-01 and the wood-handled 15090 is the Rust Orange G10 handle.
The bright orange color increases visibility in the field, while the G10 construction provides a rugged handle suited for hunting conditions.
Benchmade designed the handle scales to be user-removable. The scales conceal the pivot area to help keep debris out of the mechanism while allowing easier cleaning and customization. Contoured pinch points provide additional control during precision cutting tasks.
Built for Field Dressing and Big Game Processing
Benchmade specifically identifies the SlipRidge for hunting work, big game processing, and field dressing.
The knife measures 8.25 inches when open and 4.76 inches closed, giving hunters a full-size 3.5-inch blade in a compact folding package. At 4.178 ounces, the 15090-01 remains convenient for pocket or pack carry.
A deep-carry pocket clip keeps the SlipRidge accessible without requiring a separate sheath.
