SHOP CASE KNIVESWhen precision counts and performance matters, the Knives of Alaska Muskrat / Cub Combo in CPM MagnaCut is a set built to meet the demands of serious outdoorsmen, hunters, and professional guides. This purpose-driven pair delivers unmatched control and cutting power for skinning, caping, and detailed field work—all in a compact, lightweight carry system that’s as tough as the terrain you’re working in.
The Cub Bear knife in this combo features a 3.375" CPM MagnaCut clip point blade with a convex grind and a bead blast finish for added corrosion resistance and reduced glare. Widely regarded as one of the best skinning and caping designs on the market, it’s been a favorite of taxidermists and professional hunters around the globe for years. At just 6.25" overall and weighing only 2.1oz, it offers nimble handling with the confidence of full tang construction and a black Santoprene Suregrip handle that won’t slip—even in blood, rain, or snow.
Paired with it is the Muskrat, a compact powerhouse featuring a 2.25" CPM MagnaCut blade also finished in bead blast. The blade’s rounded profile is ideal for finesse work and controlled skinning strokes, especially on game where hide preservation is critical. Like the Cub Bear, the Muskrat is built full tang with the same reliable Suregrip handle, giving you consistent feel and security in hand. It measures 6.5" overall and weighs 2.6oz, making it a solid addition without adding bulk.
Together, these two knives cover the full range of skinning and caping needs, with the versatility and strength of high-performance MagnaCut steel. Whether you’re working on an elk in the field or prepping a cape in the shop, you’ll have the tools you need within reach. Both knives are carried in a high-quality brown leather belt sheath designed to keep them securely side by side and ready to deploy when every cut counts.
