SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Chipaway Cutlery Falling Feather Fixed Blade Knife with torched, carved bone handle is a striking example of traditional craftsmanship blended with practical design. Built for hunters, outdoorsmen, and collectors, this fixed blade knife is both eye-catching and highly functional. As part of the trusted Frost Cutlery family of brands, Chipaway Cutlery continues its legacy of producing hand-finished knives that combine durability, style, and field-ready performance at an accessible price.
At the core of the Falling Feather is a guthook stainless steel blade, designed specifically for outdoor tasks like skinning and field dressing game. The guthook makes it easy to open hides without damaging meat or internal organs, offering precise, clean cuts in a single motion. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, this blade stands up to moisture, dirt, and heavy use, making it a reliable companion in the field or at the campsite.
This knife measures 12.75 inches overall, offering excellent leverage and control. The handle is crafted from torched, carved bone, giving it a rustic, handcrafted appearance that sets it apart from mass-produced knives. Each handle showcases natural bone grain patterns that are enhanced through careful torching and carving, resulting in a grip that feels both solid and unique in the hand. The ergonomic shape and textured surface provide a secure hold, even in wet or gloved conditions.
Accentuating the handle are black, red, and brass spacers that add a refined visual contrast and structural integrity between the handle segments. These traditional spacers not only highlight the craftsmanship but also provide added strength to the handle's construction. A fileworked brass guard serves both as a protective handstop and a decorative feature, showcasing intricate metalwork that elevates the knife’s overall appearance.
The pommel is made of durable black Pakkawood, a tough, moisture-resistant material that balances the bone handle while adding a sleek, modern touch. Pakkawood’s stability and strength make it ideal for outdoor knives that need to endure changing conditions without compromising performance. The contrast between the polished pommel and rustic bone handle gives this knife a dynamic visual appeal that collectors will appreciate.
For carry and protection, the Falling Feather comes with a high-quality leather belt sheath that’s stitched and molded to fit the knife securely. The belt loop attachment ensures easy access while you're on the trail, in the woods, or at the worksite. The sheath not only protects the blade but also complements the knife’s traditional styling, making it ideal for both practical use and display.
Whether you’re a hunter looking for a functional gut hook knife, a survivalist needing reliable gear, or a knife collector who values handcrafted detail, the Chipaway Cutlery Falling Feather delivers timeless design and dependable performance in a package that’s built to last.
The stainless steel guthook blade and torched, carved bone handle with Pakkawood pommel make this fixed blade knife a standout for hunters and collectors.
