Benchmade – 15090 – Slipridge – Folding Knife – CPM MagnaCut Satin Clip Point – Stabilized Wood – Dark Brown

The Benchmade 15090 SlipRidge™ brings a purpose-built hunting design into a versatile folding platform, combining premium materials, field-focused ergonomics, and easy maintenance in a compact package. As part of Benchmade’s Hunt Collection, the 15090 is designed around the practical needs of hunters while offering the cutting performance and carry convenience that make it equally appealing for outdoor work and everyday use. Benchmade positions the SlipRidge folder as an evolution of its hunting-focused designs, with removable handle scales and a protected pivot specifically intended to make cleaning and customization easier. At the heart of the 15090 SlipRidge is a broad 3.5-inch modified clip-point blade made from CPM-MagnaCut stainless steel and hardened to 60–62 HRC. MagnaCut is particularly well suited to a hunting knife because it combines excellent toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance, providing a balanced performance profile for demanding cutting tasks and exposure to moisture. Benchmade further enhances the blade with its SelectEdge® sharpening process, producing an exceptionally fine factory edge intended for precise cutting performance. The modified clip-point profile gives the SlipRidge a substantial cutting belly while maintaining a controlled tip for detailed work. With a 0.114-inch blade thickness, the blade provides a practical balance between strength and cutting efficiency. The satin blade finish gives the knife a clean, understated appearance that pairs naturally with its dark brown stabilized wood handle scales. One of the defining features of the Benchmade 15090 is its full liner construction. Rather than relying on a linerless handle, the SlipRidge incorporates a robust internal framework while using removable handle scales that conceal and protect the pivot area. This design helps limit the amount of field debris that can reach the pivot and makes it considerably easier to clean the knife when necessary. The removable scales also create a straightforward path toward personalization, with Benchmade planning additional scale options for the SlipRidge platform. The dark brown stabilized wood scales provide a traditional hunting-knife aesthetic while offering a contoured grip designed around controlled cutting. Subtle pinch points give the user additional purchase when performing precision cuts, making the knife particularly well suited to detailed field tasks. Despite its substantial 3.5-inch blade, the 15090 remains relatively lightweight at just 3.738 ounces, making it practical for extended carry. Opening and closing are handled by Benchmade’s AXIS® Lock mechanism, giving the SlipRidge ambidextrous operation. The design works in conjunction with dual thumb studs for convenient one-handed deployment, while the included black deep-carry pocket clip keeps the closed knife positioned securely and discreetly in a pocket. The combination of ambidextrous controls and deep-carry configuration makes the 15090 adaptable for both left- and right-handed users. With an open length of 8.25 inches and a closed length of 4.76 inches, the Benchmade 15090 offers a substantial cutting tool without becoming unnecessarily bulky. Its 0.551-inch handle thickness provides a solid grip, while the lack of a lanyard hole keeps the handle profile clean and streamlined. No sheath is included, as the folder is designed around convenient pocket carry.
