Lishen Knives Yukon Fixed Blade Knife Castille Jute Micarta LKYUKCASTJUTE

The Lishen Knives Yukon is a full-size fixed blade built for serious outdoor work, combining rugged performance with the craftsmanship of a small-batch American maker. Designed for camp chores, field tasks, and demanding cutting jobs, it offers the reach, strength, and balance you want in a dependable outdoor knife.

Lishen Knives is a custom knifemaker based in Bristol, Tennessee, where Cass and Christian Lishen craft outdoor fixed blades and kitchen cutlery in small batches by hand. Their work draws from time-tested blade patterns while incorporating thoughtful modern refinements that improve handling and overall character. Christian frequently revisits classic designs and reworks them with his own distinctive touch, creating knives that feel traditional yet stand apart. Every knife is built with close attention to detail, resulting in American-made blades that look exceptional, feel balanced in hand, and perform with confidence in real-world conditions.

The Yukon features a 5.875-inch drop point blade made from AEB-L stainless steel with a clean satin finish. Known for its fine grain structure and excellent edge stability, AEB-L takes an incredibly sharp edge and holds it through demanding cutting tasks while remaining easy to maintain. The drop point profile provides a strong, controllable tip and plenty of belly for slicing, making it a versatile choice for camp work, food prep, and general outdoor use.

Full tang construction gives the Yukon outstanding strength and balance, ensuring the knife can handle tough tasks without compromise. The handle is made from brown Castille Jute Micarta, a rugged material known for its durability and naturally textured grip. The jute fiber construction provides a distinctive organic look while offering excellent control in wet or dry conditions. Over time, the material develops a rich character that reflects years of use in the field. A lanyard tube adds an extra layer of security and carry versatility. Measuring 11.125 inches overall and weighing 12 ounces, the Yukon offers the size and authority needed for demanding outdoor work.

A durable leather sheath with a belt loop is included for secure and reliable carry in the field.
