Compact, rugged, and built with purpose, the Samuel Riner Custom Knives Clinton Clipper is a small fixed blade that delivers dependable performance in an exceptionally carry-friendly package. As the smallest and lightest knife currently offered by Samuel Riner, the Clinton Clipper was designed to provide practical everyday utility while retaining the durability and handcrafted character of a custom-made knife.
This Clinton Clipper features a 2.5-inch plain-edge drop point blade made from tough 80CrV2 carbon steel. The versatile drop point profile provides a strong point and useful cutting edge, making it well suited for everyday utility tasks, camp chores, and general outdoor use. An acid-washed finish gives the blade a rugged, subdued appearance, while detailed filework adds a distinctive handcrafted touch. The combination of functional blade geometry and decorative detailing gives this compact knife the unmistakable personality of a custom fixed blade.
A Maple Micarta handle gives the Clinton Clipper a warm, natural look that pairs beautifully with the darker acid-washed blade. The earthy tones of the Micarta complement the rugged character of the 80CrV2 steel, while the durable handle material is well suited to the demands of everyday and outdoor use. It's a classic combination that feels right at home on the trail, around camp, or in an everyday-carry setup.
Measuring just 5.25 inches overall, the Clinton Clipper is remarkably compact and easy to carry. Its small size makes it an excellent choice for users who want the convenience and accessibility of a fixed blade without carrying a larger knife. The design was created with smaller blade-length requirements in mind, making it particularly appealing for users who need to consider local knife restrictions. Knife laws vary by location, so always check applicable regulations before carrying.
The included Kydex sheath provides a secure and convenient carry solution, keeping the Clinton Clipper protected and readily accessible. Its compact profile makes it easy to incorporate into an EDC kit, camping gear, hiking equipment, or other outdoor setups. Whether you're cutting cordage, opening packages, preparing camp materials, or handling everyday utility chores, this little fixed blade is ready to work.
Crafted in Clinton, Tennessee, by Samuel Riner, the Clinton Clipper reflects a decade of hands-on knife-making experience and a commitment to building durable, high-quality knives that work hard for their owners. The combination of acid-washed 80CrV2, detailed filework, and Maple Micarta gives this compact fixed blade a distinctive look backed by practical functionality.
