The Samuel Riner Custom Knives Pellissippi is a handcrafted fixed blade designed for those who demand rugged performance, refined craftsmanship, and a dependable tool built for real-world use. Inspired by the spirit of the outdoors, this knife combines premium materials with thoughtful construction to create a versatile companion for camping, hunting, bushcraft, and everyday utility tasks. Every detail reflects Samuel Riner's dedication to creating American-made knives with purpose and character.
The acid-washed 80CRV2 carbon steel blade offers exceptional toughness, reliable edge retention, and the durability needed for demanding cutting work. The acid-washed finish gives the blade a rugged, weathered appearance while helping reduce glare and adding a distinctive look that develops even more personality through use. Known for its strength and resilience, 80CRV2 provides the confidence needed when a knife has to perform in challenging conditions.
Forest Green Burlap Micarta handle scales deliver a secure, comfortable grip while giving the Pellissippi a classic outdoors-inspired appearance. Burlap Micarta is valued for its durability, moisture resistance, and natural traction, making it an excellent choice for a hardworking fixed blade. The deep green color complements the blade's rugged finish, creating a balanced combination of function and style.
The tapered tang construction showcases the craftsmanship and attention to detail behind every Samuel Riner knife. By gradually reducing the thickness of the tang toward the end of the handle, this traditional technique lowers weight, improves balance, and creates a more refined feel in the hand while maintaining impressive strength and durability.
Every Pellissippi is proudly handmade in the USA by custom knifemaker Samuel Riner, ensuring each knife carries the precision, individuality, and quality that only handcrafted American knives can provide.
