Description
The Benchmade Taggedout 15536 (some shoppers search for it as the Tagged Out) takes the hunt-optimized Taggedout folder and reworks it into a multi-role outdoor everyday carry knife. It pairs a 3.5-inch CPM-S45VN clip-point blade with an OD Green G10 handle, an orange anodized thumbstud and an orange anodized lanyard backspacer.
Compared with the lighter Grivory-handled Taggedout models, the 15536 swaps the thumb hole for a thumbstud and moves to G10, while the S45VN steel adds edge retention and corrosion resistance. At 2.1 ounces it still carries like a much smaller knife.
