The 80CRV2 carbon steel Sheepsfoot blade offers exceptional toughness, dependable edge retention, and the durability required for serious cutting tasks. The Sheepsfoot profile provides excellent control with a strong, practical edge geometry that's well suited for slicing, carving, and detailed utility work. An acid-washed finish gives the blade a rugged, weathered appearance while helping reduce glare and adding a distinctive character that will continue to develop with use.
Duck Micarta handle scales provide a secure, comfortable grip while giving the knife a unique, outdoors-inspired appearance. Micarta is known for its outstanding durability, moisture resistance, and natural traction, making it a trusted choice for hardworking knives. The earthy tones of the Duck Micarta complement the rugged blade finish while maintaining the practical character expected from a field-ready fixed blade.
The tapered tang construction showcases Samuel Riner's attention to detail and traditional knifemaking skill. By gradually reducing the thickness of the tang toward the end of the handle, this technique reduces weight, improves balance, and creates a more refined feel in hand while maintaining impressive strength and durability.
Every Pellissippi XL is proudly handmade in the USA by custom knifemaker Samuel Riner, ensuring each knife reflects the precision, individuality, and quality that only handcrafted American knives can deliver.
