Benchmade SlipRidge Hunting Knife Collection
Benchmade SlipRidge Fixed
First up, we have the SlipRidge Fixed, which has an MSRP of $275 a knife. This blade sits between the Saddle Mountain Skinner model and the Steep Country, with a blade length ideal for a successful big-game harvests. It features a MagnaCut drop-point blade with SelectEdge for razor-sharp performance, and it is offered in two handle options: stabilized wood or Rust Orange G10. Both versions include a purpose-built sheath for secure carry and easy access in the field when you need it most.
Benchmade SlipRidge Folder
Next up, we have the SlipRidge Folder, which demands a touch higher price-point with an asking price of $300. This knife builds on the versatility of the North Fork and Taggedout knives, introducing improved cleanability with a hidden pivot and handle scales that can be removed for maintenance. So, when you get blood, fur, and other materials on your knife, you can easily get your knife back into a clean, functioning condition. The MagnaCut clip-point blade provides enhanced slicing control, while the initial choice of wood or G10 scales allows hunters to balance classic aesthetics with rugged toughness. Additional scale options will be available for purchase in the future as well.
Benchmade SlipRidge Hook
Last, but not least is the incredibly simple yet highly-valuable SlipRidge Hook (MSRP $75), which completes the system as a specialized tool for those utilizing the gutless method. Designed to nest seamlessly onto the SlipRidge sheath, it excels at fast, clean zipper cuts during early field dressing, preserving your primary blade for finer precision work. Also, it is robust enough to serve double-duty for those in EMT professions to cut seat belts and other odd materials as well.
