Benchmade has introduced the Slipridge series, a small family of outdoors-focused knives available in both fixed and folding formats. The line emphasizes practical geometry and material choices intended for field and trail use.
Folder and fixed models share similar ergonomics. Each has a chunky guard that overlaps a single wide but shallow finger groove. The primary silhouette difference is the butt end: the folder has a squared, fairly straight tail, while the fixed blade has a beaked butt to help bracket the hand.
The fixed Slipridge ships with a green Kydex sheath that bears Benchmade's Butterfly logo. The folding Slipridge uses Benchmade's stubby deep-carry pocket clip.
For the folder, Benchmade offers three standalone scale choices: green G-10, black canvas Micarta, and carbon fiber. Customers who buy the G-10 version can later upgrade to stabilized wood scales.
The Slipridge series is presented as an outdoors knife family. The combination of MagnaCut steel, drop-point geometry, and durable finishes positions these knives for trekking, campsite tasks, field dressing, and general waterside or rust-prone environments where corrosion resistance and edge retention matter.
Benchmade has released the Slipridge series and it is available now through the company's channels. The fixed blade and folder are offered alongside accessories and scale options described above.
- If you prioritize a larger fixed working knife, the fixed Slipridge has the longer 3.7-inch blade and comes with a Kydex sheath ready for belt carry.
- If you need a portable option for pocket carry, the folder's 3.5-inch blade and deep-carry clip keep it compact and discreet.
- Hook adds specialized functionality for gutting or similar tasks and integrates with the fixed sheath when purchased as a combo.
- MagnaCut is the blade steel across the series, keeping material consistency for corrosion resistance and edge performance.
Benchmade's Slipridge series is a compact, option-rich set of knives targeted at outdoors users. The range pairs a consistent blade and grind philosophy across fixed and folding platforms, and supports aftermarket customization via scales and an attachable gut hook accessory.
