CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESKnives of Alaska's Jaeger-Muskrat Combo is a purpose-built knife set crafted for hunters who demand precision and durability when processing game in the field. Proudly made in the USA, this two-knife combo pairs the rugged functionality of the Jaeger hunting knife with the detailed finesse of the Muskrat skinning knife, making it a versatile companion for everything from backcountry expeditions to weekend hunts.
The Jaeger hunting knife is built for strength and performance with a robust blade forged from D2 tool steel. Known for its exceptional edge retention and toughness, D2 steel holds up under the most demanding field dressing tasks. The Jaeger features a longer blade with a straight spine and aggressive belly, making it ideal for boning out large game such as elk, deer, or moose. Each knife is hand-honed to razor sharpness, delivering smooth and efficient cuts through hide, muscle, and sinew. Jimping along the spine provides improved thumb traction for added control during deeper cuts.
Complementing the Jaeger is the Muskrat knife—a specialized skinning and fleshing blade. Also made from D2 steel, the Muskrat stands out with its unique rounded point design, which reduces the chance of piercing hides while allowing for clean, sweeping skinning motions. It’s highly regarded among hunters and taxidermists alike for its precision on caping and delicate skinning work.
Both knives are outfitted with durable SureGrip handles, molded from Santoprene to offer a firm, slip-resistant grip even in wet or cold conditions. Available in black or high-visibility hunter orange, these handles are shaped for comfort and fatigue-free use during extended processing sessions. For those seeking a more traditional touch, this combo is also offered with genuine stag handles, adding a natural look and feel to an already capable field toolset.
The included combination leather sheath is rugged and reliable, offering secure, belt-mounted carry for both knives in one convenient package. Its angled design keeps your gear accessible while staying out of the way, whether you're on the trail or in the blind. Visit SMKW to check out this hunting combo today!
