The Benchmade SlipRidge Hook is a purpose-built cutting tool designed for hunters and outdoorsmen who need absolute control during field dressing. Compact, specialized, and dependable, this fixed hook excels at clean, efficient cuts where precision matters more than blade length. It’s a straightforward tool built to do one job extremely well, without excess or complication.
At its core is a 0.75-inch hook blade made from 440C stainless steel, heat-treated to 58–60 HRC. This steel is well known for its balance of hardness, corrosion resistance, and ease of maintenance, making it a reliable choice for outdoor environments. The hook-style blade is ideal for opening hides and making careful cuts with minimal risk of puncturing meat or damaging underlying tissue. With a blade thickness of 0.125 inches, it delivers the strength needed for consistent performance while maintaining excellent control.
The handle features a rust orange Cerakote finish that adds both durability and visibility. Cerakote provides protection against wear and corrosion, while the bright color makes the tool easy to spot in low light, tall grass, or dense brush. The slim handle profile keeps the hook lightweight and easy to maneuver, giving you precise control during delicate work without unnecessary bulk.
With an overall length of 4.82 inches, the SlipRidge Hook is compact enough for comfortable carry while still offering a confident, secure grip. Its fixed construction means there are no moving parts to fail, delivering simple, trustworthy performance in demanding conditions. The included Boltaron sheath provides secure retention and safe transport on your belt or pack, ensuring the hook is always ready when it’s needed.
