Built as a premium, heavy-duty everyday carry fixed blade, the Samuel Riner Custom Knives Pellissippi XL combines rugged performance, practical design, and handcrafted American character in a versatile package. Each Samuel Riner blade is a handmade custom piece, and the Pellissippi XL reflects that hands-on approach with a purposeful design built for users who expect their knife to work hard.
The Pellissippi XL features a 3-inch plain-edge blade crafted from tough 80CrV2 carbon steel. The blade's practical profile provides a useful balance of cutting control, strength, and versatility, making it well suited to a wide range of everyday and utility tasks. Whether you're cutting cordage, breaking down packaging, preparing materials around camp, or handling general-purpose chores, the Pellissippi XL is designed to be a dependable tool you can reach for again and again.
An acid-washed finish gives the 80CrV2 blade a rugged, subdued appearance while adding distinctive character to this handmade knife. The darkened finish creates a striking contrast against the bright handle, giving the Pellissippi XL a refined yet hard-working aesthetic that's equally at home in an EDC collection, workshop, or outdoor kit.
The handle is crafted from White Micarta with contrasting Black liners, creating a bold two-tone appearance. The bright white Micarta stands out against the darker blade, while the black liners provide a clean visual transition and reinforce the knife's rugged styling. Micarta is a proven handle material for working knives, making it a natural choice for a fixed blade designed for regular use.
A tapered tang contributes to the Pellissippi XL's refined construction and helps create a balanced, purpose-driven design. Measuring 6.75 inches overall with a 3-inch blade, it offers enough blade length for serious everyday utility while remaining compact enough to serve as an EDC fixed blade. Its size makes it a practical choice for daily carry, general utility work, camping, hiking, and other outdoor activities.
The included Kydex sheath provides a secure and convenient carry solution, keeping the knife protected and readily accessible. Its straightforward design complements the Pellissippi XL's practical nature and makes it easy to incorporate into an everyday or outdoor gear setup.
Crafted in Clinton, Tennessee, by Samuel Riner, the Pellissippi XL represents a decade of knife-making experience and a commitment to creating durable, high-quality knives that work hard for their owners. From its tough 80CrV2 blade and tapered tang to its White Micarta handle and Black liners, this handmade fixed blade combines practical performance with distinctive custom craftsmanship.
