The Skelton Bladeworks Scaphoid Box Elder Wood is a compact fixed blade built with a clear focus on durability, control, and clean utility. It brings together modern steel performance with the natural character of traditional wood, resulting in a knife that feels equally at home on the trail, in a working environment, or as part of a refined everyday carry rotation.
At the core of the design is a 3.75" tanto blade crafted from Nitro-V stainless steel. Known for its toughness, edge stability, and corrosion resistance, Nitro-V delivers dependable performance in demanding conditions without being difficult to maintain. The satin finish adds a subtle, refined sheen while helping to reduce glare and wear visibility over time. The tanto profile enhances tip strength and precision, making it well-suited for piercing tasks, controlled cuts, and utility work where reliability matters most.
Built with full tang construction, the Scaphoid ensures strength runs through the entire length of the knife. This design choice adds structural integrity and balance, giving the knife a solid, confident feel in hand. It’s the kind of build that holds up under consistent use without compromise, reinforcing its role as a functional tool rather than a decorative piece.
The handle is shaped from Box Elder wood, offering a distinctive natural grain pattern that makes each knife visually unique. Its warm tones and organic texture contrast cleanly with the steel blade, creating a balanced and grounded aesthetic. Double rivets secure the handle scales firmly in place, ensuring long-term durability while maintaining a clean, straightforward profile. The ergonomics are designed for practical use, providing a stable and comfortable grip without unnecessary bulk.
At 7.60" overall, this knife stays compact enough for easy carry while still offering enough blade length for versatile utility tasks. It rides with confidence in the included leather sheath, which features a belt loop for secure and accessible carry. The sheath complements the knife’s rugged character, adding both protection and traditional carry functionality.
The Skelton Bladeworks Scaphoid Box Elder Wood stands as a dependable fixed blade with a thoughtful blend of modern steel performance and natural material character, built for users who value strength, simplicity, and purposeful design.
