The Benchmade SlipRidge blends classic materials with modern performance in a folding knife built for real-world use. It’s designed for those who expect precision, strength, and reliability from their everyday carry, without sacrificing refined craftsmanship. This knife feels deliberate in hand, with balanced proportions that inspire confidence from the first cut to the last.
The 3.5-inch drop point blade is crafted from MagnaCut stainless steel, heat treated to deliver outstanding edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance. MagnaCut is known for holding a sharp edge through demanding use while remaining easy to maintain. The blade’s profile supports slicing, piercing, and controlled detail work, while its slim thickness keeps the knife agile and responsive. Benchmade’s SelectEdge ensures it arrives razor sharp and ready to work.
Dark brown stabilized wood handle scales bring warmth and character to a design rooted in performance. The wood is reinforced for durability, resisting moisture and wear while maintaining a natural, premium feel. Subtle contouring and thoughtful ergonomics create a secure, comfortable grip, even during extended use. The contrast between the rich wood tones and precision-machined hardware gives the SlipRidge a timeless look that still feels at home in modern carry.
The AXIS Lock provides smooth, ambidextrous operation and dependable lockup you can trust. One-handed opening and closing are effortless, making the knife practical for fast-paced tasks. With an overall length of 8.25 inches, the SlipRidge offers excellent reach and control while remaining easy to carry throughout the day. It’s lightweight, strong, and built to perform wherever it’s needed.
