[Benchmade] Mini Taggedout S45VN OD Green - Hunt Class

A lightweight and versatile mini variant to the Taggedout family of Hunt folders, the Benchmade 15534 Mini Taggedout blurs the lines between EDC and Hunt by performing just as brilliantly field-dressing game as it does tackling tasks around the house.

Donning a tough CPM-S45VN clip point blade with SelectEdge tech for increased edge retention and corrosion resistance, the 15534 features an OD green G10 handle with an orange anodized thumb stud and barrel spacers. This is the compact EDC folder hunters have been asking for that carries in virtually any pocket.

Blade Finish

The ‘stonewash’ process was chosen for the finish of this blade. The stonewash process involves the blade being placed inside a drum with ceramic stones, or media, and then vibrated or tumbled for several hours. The result is a finish that looks precisely polished or roughened depending on the version. The advantage of stonewashing, however, is that signs of use are much less noticeable. That makes it a popular choice for knives that see a lot of use.

About Benchmade

Benchmade was founded in 1987 by Les de Asis in California. It began as a small company producing butterfly knives. With a strong commitment to innovation and quality, Benchmade quickly grew and moved to Oregon, where it expanded its production capacity. A signature feature of Benchmade is the Axis lock, which is also used by other brands today.
