This one wears stabilized dark brown wood scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe feature that matters on a hunting knife is the one you cannot see. The handle scales are user removable and they cover the pivot, which keeps blood, hair, and grit out of the action while you are working. When you are done you take two screws out, clean it properly, and put it back together. Anybody who has field dressed an animal with a folder and then spent an evening trying to flush the pivot knows exactly why that matters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eMagnaCut and SelectEdge\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eMagnaCut at 60 to 62 HRC is the steel to have on a knife that gets used wet. It holds an edge through real work and it resists rust without giving up toughness, which is the tradeoff older stainless steels always forced. Benchmade puts their SelectEdge ultra fine sharpening on it from the factory, so it arrives slicing rather than needing a session on a stone first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eThe Blade and the Grip\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA modified clip point gives you a fine tip for detail work with enough belly behind it for long cuts. At 3.5 inches it is a full size hunting blade, and at 0.114 inches thick it is ground to cut rather than to pry. The handle has contoured pinch points where your thumb and forefinger land, which is what gives you control on precision cuts rather than just a grip on the handle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAXIS Lock, Next Generation\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis runs Benchmade's next generation AXIS lock. Ambidextrous, one handed to open and to close, and strong under load. It is the mechanism Benchmade built their reputation on and the reason the patent expiring created a whole category of imitators.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStabilized Wood\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStabilized wood is real wood with resin forced through it under pressure, so it will not swell, crack, or move with humidity the way untreated wood does. Every set of scales comes out with its own figure, so no two SlipRidges in wood look quite alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: SlipRidge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSKU: 15090\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCollection: Hunt\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Length: 3.5\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Length: 8.25\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClosed Length: 4.76\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Thickness: 0.114\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Thickness: 0.551\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Steel: CPM MagnaCut, 60-62 HRC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Style: Modified clip point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlade Finish: Satin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEdge: SelectEdge ultra fine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Material: Stabilized wood, dark brown\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConstruction: Full liner, user removable scales\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLock: AXIS Lock, next generation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePocket Clip: Deep carry, black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanyard Hole: No\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight: 3.738 oz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSheath: None\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCountry of Origin: Made in USA (Oregon City, Oregon)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eOne Thing Worth Clearing Up\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDespite the name, the SlipRidge is not a slipjoint.
