The Samuel Riner Custom Knives Pellissippi XL is a handcrafted fixed blade built for those who demand serious capability, refined craftsmanship, and dependable performance from their gear.

The 80CRV2 carbon steel Sheepsfoot blade delivers outstanding toughness, reliable edge retention, and the durability required for demanding cutting applications. The Sheepsfoot profile provides excellent control and a strong, practical cutting edge, making it ideal for precise slicing, carving, and utility work. This blade shape gives users confidence when tackling tasks that require accuracy and consistency.
Textured Brown Burlap Micarta handle scales provide a secure, comfortable grip while adding a rugged, natural appearance to the knife's design. Burlap Micarta is valued for its exceptional durability, moisture resistance, and dependable traction, making it an excellent material for a hard-use fixed blade. The textured surface enhances grip, while the earthy brown tones complement the knife's traditional outdoor aesthetic.
The tapered tang construction highlights 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 reduces unnecessary weight, improves balance, and creates a more refined feel in hand without compromising the strength needed for demanding use.
Every Pellissippi XL is proudly handmade in the USA by custom knifemaker Samuel Riner, ensuring each knife carries the precision, individuality, and quality that only a handcrafted American blade can provide.
