The Samuel Riner Custom Knives Clinton Clipper is a handcrafted fixed blade that combines classic styling with hardworking performance. Built for hunters, campers, and everyday outdoorsmen, it's designed to tackle demanding cutting tasks while showcasing the attention to detail that defines true American custom craftsmanship. From processing game to preparing campfire materials or handling daily utility work, the Clinton Clipper is built to perform with confidence every time it's called into action.
Its acid-washed 80CRV2 carbon steel blade delivers the toughness, edge retention, and reliability that have made this steel a favorite among custom knifemakers. The acid-washed finish creates a rugged, weathered appearance while helping reduce glare and giving the blade a unique character that only improves with use. Whether you're making controlled slices, detailed cuts, or heavier push cuts, the blade offers the strength and versatility needed for real-world performance.
Shamrock Canvas Micarta handle scales provide a secure, comfortable grip in virtually any environment. Canvas Micarta is prized for its durability, moisture resistance, and natural traction, making it an outstanding choice for a knife that's meant to be used in the field. The rich green color gives the Clinton Clipper a distinctive look while complementing its traditional design. A tapered tang construction highlights the craftsmanship behind every knife by gradually reducing the thickness of the tang toward the butt of the handle. This refined technique reduces weight, enhances balance, and creates a lively feel in the hand without sacrificing strength.
Every Clinton Clipper is proudly handmade in the USA by custom knifemaker Samuel Riner, ensuring each knife reflects the precision, quality, and individuality that only a handcrafted American blade can provide.
