Clyde Cutlery Co. Caper Blue Jigged Bone Fixed Blade W/Sheath CLYDE-BJB

The Clyde Cutlery Co. Caper Blue Jigged Bone Fixed Blade is a compact hunting knife that combines proven field performance with authentic American craftsmanship and a deep connection to cutlery history. Built entirely in the United States, this knife is handcrafted by Gilbert, owner of the Clyde Cutlery trademark and a member of the Cooper Cutlery family. Each knife is made by hand, preserving the legacy of a brand that began in Clyde, Ohio in 1892 and earned a reputation for producing dependable working knives and tools.

Inspired by the classic Nessmuk-style caper, this knife is purpose-built for hunters who need precision and control during detailed work. Measuring 6.75 inches overall with a 2.6-inch caper blade, it offers excellent maneuverability for skinning, caping, and trimming. The upswept blade profile allows for clean, controlled cuts where accuracy matters most.

The blade is crafted from 1095 carbon steel, a trusted high-carbon steel known for its outstanding toughness, edge retention, and easy sharpening. It takes a razor-sharp edge and develops a natural patina over time, giving the knife a unique character that reflects years of use. The plain edge and full fixed-blade construction deliver the strength and reliability serious outdoorsmen expect.

The standout feature is the striking blue jigged bone handle. Rich in color and texture, it offers a secure grip while giving the knife classic traditional appeal. These handles are highly limited, with only 25 slated for production, making each knife a rare and collectible piece. Along the exposed tang where your fingers rest, you'll find the inscription "May God Bless You 2026" and the maker's initials, GLC, adding a meaningful and personal touch from the craftsman.

Each knife includes a premium leather belt loop sheath handmade by Gordon Leather in Oden, Ohio. Built specifically for this knife, the sheath provides secure carry and complements the same dedication to American-made quality found throughout the entire package.

The Clyde Cutlery Co. Caper is more than a hunting knife—it's a handmade tribute to American tradition, faith, and functional excellence.
