Benchmade – 15650-01 – Slipridge – Fixed Blade Knife – CPM MagnaCut Satin Drop Point – G10 – Rust Orange

Built specifically around the demands of serious big-game hunters, the Benchmade 15650-01 SlipRidge™ Fixed Blade is a compact, purpose-driven field knife designed to become a dependable core component of your hunting kit. Combining a premium MagnaCut® stainless steel blade, SelectEdge® sharpening technology, an ergonomic Rust Orange G10 handle, and a dedicated OD Green Boltaron® sheath, the 15650-01 brings cutting performance, control, and practical field carry together in a lightweight fixed-blade platform. At the heart of the SlipRidge™ is a 3.7-inch clip-point blade crafted from CPM-MagnaCut® stainless steel and hardened to 60-62 HRC. MagnaCut was selected for its exceptional balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and edge retention, making it particularly well suited to demanding outdoor environments where a knife may encounter moisture, blood, dirt, and extended cutting sessions. Benchmade specifically heat-treats its MagnaCut blades within this hardness range to balance these characteristics for hard-use applications. The blade is finished in satin and incorporates Benchmade’s SelectEdge® sharpening process for a refined cutting edge. Its compact dimensions make it agile enough for detailed work while still providing the useful cutting length required for processing larger game. The blade profile offers a generous belly and high tip, giving hunters a useful combination of slicing capability, precision, and maneuverability during field processing. The SlipRidge™ 15650-01 is differentiated by its Rust Orange G10 handle scales. Beyond providing excellent durability for outdoor use, the highly visible orange color makes the knife easier to locate when working around camp, a hunting blind, or a field-processing area. The handle is ergonomically contoured to promote a secure, controlled grip, while the pronounced finger choil and carefully shaped grip surfaces provide additional control during precision cutting. Benchmade positions the SlipRidge™ Fixed between larger hunting knives such as the Saddle Mountain Skinner and Steep Country, giving it a balanced size for big-game applications without becoming cumbersome. With an overall open length of 8.11 inches and a blade thickness of 0.114 inches, the 15650-01 maintains a practical balance between strength and maneuverability. At 4.37 ounces, it remains light enough to carry comfortably as part of a larger hunting loadout. Because this is a fixed-blade design, there are no moving mechanisms or locking systems to complicate deployment; simply draw the knife from its included sheath when it is time to work. The included OD Green Boltaron® sheath provides secure storage and convenient field carry while protecting the blade when it is not in use. The sheath itself weighs approximately 2.106 ounces, keeping the complete carry system lightweight. Benchmade’s SlipRidge™ system is designed around practical field functionality, giving hunters a dedicated cutting tool that can transition from preparation and camp chores to demanding game-processing duties.
