Product Description

The Benchmade Taggedout 15536TN-02 is a purpose-built hunting folder — Elmax powder-metallurgy stainless in a tan-coated clip point, deep olive handle, and AXIS Lock, designed for hunters and field dressers who want a blade that keeps its edge through a full field dressing session without demanding a sharpening kit in the pack.

The blade is Elmax, Böhler-Uddeholm's premium PM stainless with a finer grain structure than CPM-S35VN. In hunting applications, Elmax earns its keep through edge retention during sustained field dressing and skinning work — it holds a working edge through a full deer or elk without the frequent stropping that lower-tier stainless demands. The tan Cerakote coating provides low-reflectivity, field-appropriate color that works with the deep olive handle for a coordinated earth-tone presentation, while resisting blood and organic acids that accelerate surface corrosion on uncoated blades. The clip point profile carries a long, sweeping tip that excels at controlled piercing during field dressing while the belly handles skinning strokes efficiently. Deep olive handle scales provide a positive grip in wet hunting conditions. AXIS Lock deploys and closes one-handed from either side — ambidextrous for right- or left-handed hunters.

Ships same or next business day from Knifeworks in Columbia, Louisiana.
