Weatherford Outdoorsman Fixed Blade Walnut Handle 1095 Carbon Steel Blade WKC141

The Weatherford Outdoorsman Fixed Blade is built for serious outdoor enthusiasts who demand reliability, strength, and precision in a compact, rugged package. Handcrafted by South Carolina knifemaker Chad Weatherford, this knife reflects a commitment to traditional craftsmanship while incorporating practical modern design elements. Every detail, from the blade geometry to the handle contours, is thoughtfully executed to create a tool that performs in the field and feels right in the hand.

At the heart of the Outdoorsman is its blade, forged from 1095 high carbon steel. This steel is known for its toughness, excellent edge retention, and ease of sharpening in the field, making it ideal for extended outdoor use. Measuring 3/32 inches thick with a drop point profile, the blade delivers versatility across a wide range of tasks, from skinning and slicing to general utility work. The forged finish not only enhances the blade’s durability but also gives it a rugged, utilitarian aesthetic that matches its performance.

The handle is constructed from stabilized walnut, offering a secure grip in wet or dry conditions. Measuring 4.5 inches, the handle is contoured for comfort and control, ensuring precise handling during delicate tasks as well as strength for more demanding applications. The walnut’s natural grain adds a touch of elegance to the knife while maintaining the robustness required for outdoor use.

With an overall length of 7.5 inches, the Weatherford Outdoorsman strikes the right balance between portability and functionality. It is large enough to handle serious cutting tasks yet compact enough to carry comfortably on your belt or in a pack. The included custom leather sheath features a belt loop for secure right-hand carry, keeping the knife accessible while protecting both the blade and the user.

Every Outdoorsman knife carries the mark of American craftsmanship. Handmade by Chad Weatherford in South Carolina, it’s a dependable companion for hunting, camping, bushcraft, or any situation where a durable, high-performance fixed blade is needed. Its combination of tough 1095 carbon steel, stabilized walnut handle, and thoughtful design makes it a versatile tool that will serve outdoorsmen for years to come. Rugged, reliable, and entirely handmade, the Weatherford Outdoorsman boasts a 1095 carbon steel blade with a walnut handle, available at SMKW.
