Compact, rugged, and built with purpose, the Samuel Riner Custom Knives Clinton Clipper Defender is a hard-working fixed blade designed to deliver dependable everyday performance in a remarkably compact package. With its practical proportions and handcrafted details, the Defender brings the character of a custom knife to users who appreciate reliable materials, distinctive styling, and a blade that's ready to work.
The Clinton Clipper Defender features a 2.5-inch plain-edge drop point blade crafted from tough 80CrV2 carbon steel. Its versatile drop point profile provides a strong point and useful cutting edge, making it well suited to everyday utility chores, outdoor tasks, and general cutting duties. The blade receives an acid-washed finish for a rugged, subdued appearance, while detailed filework adds a distinctive handcrafted touch. This combination gives the Defender a unique custom look without taking away from its practical, working-knife character.
The handle is constructed from White Micarta with a contrasting Red liner, creating a bold appearance that immediately sets this Defender apart. The bright white handle provides a striking contrast against the darker acid-washed blade, while the red liner adds a subtle flash of color along the handle. Micarta brings the durable, work-ready character expected from a hard-use knife, making this compact fixed blade as practical as it is visually distinctive.
At just 5.25 inches overall, the Clinton Clipper Defender is easy to carry without the bulk of a larger fixed blade. Its compact design makes it well suited for everyday carry, camping, hiking, outdoor work, and utility tasks where a small fixed blade is an advantage. The 2.5-inch blade keeps the overall package compact, but always check your local knife laws and regulations before carrying.
A Kydex sheath is included to provide a secure and convenient carry solution. The sheath keeps the knife protected and readily accessible while complementing the Defender's compact dimensions. Whether you're cutting cordage, opening packages, handling camp chores, or simply want the accessibility of a fixed blade, this little knife is built to earn its place in your everyday gear.
Crafted by Samuel Riner in Clinton, Tennessee, the Clinton Clipper Defender reflects a decade of knife-making experience and a commitment to producing durable, high-quality knives designed to work hard. Its acid-washed 80CrV2 blade, detailed filework, and White Micarta handle with Red liner combine rugged performance with unmistakable custom character.
