Whether you're adding to your collection or looking for a smaller fixed blade for everyday utility, the Clinton Clipper offers a straightforward design built around useful materials and versatile performance.
The 2.25-inch blade is crafted from 80CrV2 carbon steel, a popular choice among custom knife makers for its toughness, impact resistance, and ability to take a sharp edge. This dependable steel is well suited to working knives, offering the strength and cutting performance needed for routine utility tasks. From opening packages and cutting cordage to handling smaller jobs around camp or the workshop, the compact blade provides practical versatility without unnecessary bulk. The acid-washed finish gives the steel a darkened, subdued appearance that complements the knife's functional styling while helping disguise minor scratches from regular use. Like other carbon steel blades, it requires routine care, including cleaning and thorough drying after use, to help prevent corrosion.
The OD green Micarta handle scales complete the knife with a classic outdoor-inspired color and a durable, practical material. Micarta is valued for its strength and stability, making it a popular choice for knife handles intended for regular use. The muted green finish pairs naturally with the dark acid-washed blade, creating a cohesive appearance that's equally at home among outdoor equipment and custom knife collections. The handle's straightforward styling keeps the focus on functionality while giving the Clinton Clipper a distinctive look.
With an overall length of 5.5 inches and a 2.25-inch blade, this compact fixed blade is easy to incorporate into an everyday carry setup or outdoor gear collection. Its fixed-blade construction provides a simple alternative to a folding knife, eliminating the need for a moving mechanism. The compact proportions make it particularly appealing to users who prefer a smaller knife for everyday cutting chores and light utility work.
