Compact, capable, and built with the practical mindset of a working knife, the Samuel Riner Custom Knives Clinton Clipper delivers dependable fixed-blade performance in an exceptionally carry-friendly package. As the smallest and lightest knife currently offered by Samuel Riner, the Clinton Clipper was designed for everyday carry while maintaining the rugged construction and handcrafted details that define Riner's knives.
This version 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 to everyday utility tasks and general outdoor chores. Detailed filework along the blade adds a distinctive custom touch, giving this compact knife additional character and visual appeal. The classic blade finish preserves a more traditional look, allowing the craftsmanship and bright handle material to take center stage.
An Orange Carbon Fiber handle gives the Clinton Clipper a bold, unmistakable appearance. The vibrant orange coloring provides excellent visual contrast against the classic-finished 80CrV2 blade, while the carbon fiber construction brings a modern touch to this otherwise rugged fixed-blade design. It's a combination that gives the knife plenty of personality without losing its practical, hard-working character.
Measuring approximately 5.5 inches overall, the Clinton Clipper is small enough to carry comfortably while still providing the advantages of a fixed blade. Its compact design was developed with blade-length restrictions in mind, making it a practical option for users who need to pay close attention to local knife regulations. Laws vary by location, so always check the applicable regulations before carrying.
The included Kydex sheath provides a secure and convenient way to carry the Clinton Clipper. Its compact dimensions make it easy to incorporate into an everyday-carry setup, hiking gear, camping equipment, or a variety of outdoor kits. Whether you're cutting cordage, opening packages, preparing camp materials, or handling general utility chores, this little fixed blade is ready to get to work.
Crafted in Clinton, Tennessee, by Samuel Riner, the Clinton Clipper reflects a decade of knife-making experience and a straightforward goal: creating durable, high-quality knives that work hard for you. From the tough 80CrV2 blade and detailed filework to the eye-catching Orange Carbon Fiber handle, this compact fixed blade combines working utility with handcrafted style.
