Compact, lightweight, and crafted with unmistakable custom character, the Samuel Riner Custom Knives Pellissippi XL Slim is a purpose-built everyday carry fixed blade designed to handle your daily cutting tasks without weighing you down. Handmade in Clinton, Tennessee, this Samuel Riner blade combines premium materials with a slim, carry-friendly design that's easy to take wherever the day leads.
The Pellissippi XL Slim features a 2.5-inch plain-edge blade constructed from San Mai with a 15N20 exterior layer, nickel contrast, and an 80CrV2 core. This layered construction creates a distinctive visual pattern while bringing together the individual characteristics of these steels into one unique blade. The nickel layer provides crisp contrast between the outer 15N20 and tough 80CrV2 core, giving the blade a refined appearance that's immediately recognizable as a handmade custom piece.
The compact blade is designed for everyday utility, providing a practical cutting edge for tasks such as opening packages, cutting cordage, trimming materials, and handling general day-to-day chores. At 2.5 inches, the blade keeps the overall knife compact while still offering the usefulness you'd expect from a fixed blade.
The handle is crafted from stabilized Fiddleback Black Mango Wood, giving the Pellissippi XL Slim a rich, natural appearance with distinctive figuring and grain. Stabilization helps make the wood a practical choice for a working knife while preserving the character that makes natural handle materials so appealing. The dark tones of the Black Mango Wood complement the layered San Mai blade beautifully, creating a combination that's rugged, refined, and unmistakably custom.
Measuring 6.5 inches overall, the Pellissippi XL Slim is designed specifically around compact everyday carry. Its lightweight profile makes it easy to incorporate into your daily gear without the bulk of a larger fixed blade. The included Kydex pocket sheath adds even more convenience, allowing you to slip the knife into a pair of pants without needing a belt. It's an ideal setup for users who want quick access to a fixed blade while keeping their EDC streamlined.
Samuel Riner has been crafting knives for a decade, beginning when he was just 14 or 15 years old, with a goal of creating durable, high-quality knives that work hard for their owners. That philosophy is evident throughout the Pellissippi XL Slim, from its premium San Mai blade construction to its stabilized natural wood handle and practical pocket-carry design.
Handmade in Clinton, Tennessee, the Pellissippi XL Slim is more than a compact EDC knife. It's a carefully crafted custom fixed blade that combines premium materials, distinctive aesthetics, and practical everyday performance in one remarkably carry-friendly package.
