Lishen Knives Yukon Fixed Blade Knife Spalted Curly Maple LKYUKSPALCM

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 need 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 visual 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 handcrafted with close attention to detail, resulting in American-made blades that look exceptional, feel balanced in hand, and perform with confidence in the field.

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 a razor-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 ideal for camp work, food prep, and general outdoor use.

Full tang construction gives the Yukon outstanding strength and balance. The handle is crafted from spalted curly maple, a highly figured hardwood prized for its unique grain patterns and rich natural color. This handle combines beauty with functionality, providing a secure, comfortable grip while giving each knife a one-of-a-kind appearance. A lanyard tube adds extra carry options and security. Measuring 11.125 inches overall and weighing 12 ounces, the Yukon delivers size and authority for demanding outdoor tasks.

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