CASE KNIVES
High quality, extremely collectible handmade knives since the 1800s.
SHOP CASE KNIVESWhen the hunt ends and the quiet settles over the field, the real work begins. Every hunter knows this moment—the one that tests the precision of their tools as much as their own skill. The Knives of Alaska Muskrat and Cub Bear Combo was crafted for that moment. Designed to perform under the unforgiving conditions of the Alaskan frontier, this fixed-blade set has earned the trust of professional guides, seasoned hunters, and expert taxidermists around the world. It delivers unmatched control, precision, and dependability from the field to the freezer.
The Cub Bear, renowned as one of the finest caping knives ever made, excels in intricate detail work. Its narrow clip-point blade allows for clean, precise cuts around the eyes, nose, and mouth when caping a trophy. The Muskrat complements it perfectly, featuring a unique, rounded-tip design that glides through hide and tissue without puncturing or tearing. Each knife serves a specialized purpose, yet together they provide a seamless, efficient system that simplifies the entire field-dressing process.
Both knives are constructed from high-performance D2 tool steel, delivering exceptional edge retention and durability. The black Suregrip handles, made from Santoprene, ensure a solid, non-slip grip even when conditions turn slick or freezing. The dual, full-tang construction enhances balance and control, giving hunters the confidence to work with precision through every stage of processing. Housed in a custom, oil-tanned American cowhide sheath, this combo is built to last a lifetime of hunts.
For those who demand more than just a cutting-edge, the Knives of Alaska Muskrat and Cub Bear Combo offers the reliability and craftsmanship needed to perform with confidence when it matters most. Whether you’re preparing a trophy mount or processing meat for the table, this set embodies the spirit of true field performance—rugged, precise, and ready for anything the wild brings.
