SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Sniper Bladeworks Utility Skinner with a satin-finished blade is a hard-working fixed blade built for real-world tasks. From processing game in the field to carving out camp duties, this knife doesn’t just look the part—it earns it. The 4.3" blade is made from SUJ2 (52100) high-carbon tool steel, known for edge retention, durability, and its ability to take a screaming-sharp edge. The satin finish adds a clean, utilitarian look that resists glare and corrosion while holding up to daily abuse.
Designed with Lance Abernathy’s signature attention to grip and control, the handle is fitted with textured Micarta scales. They offer a confident, no-slip hold even in wet or cold conditions. The full-tang construction keeps everything solid, with the weight and balance tuned for long days in the woods or long shifts on the job. At just 7.56" overall and 6.1 oz, the Utility Skinner packs serious cutting power into a compact profile that’s easy to carry and quick to draw.
An injection-molded sheath with Safe Lock compatibility rides on your belt or gear without getting in the way, offering fast, secure access when things get rough. This knife is built for the doers, the fixers, the field-tested—whether you're skinning, slicing, or surviving.
