SHOP CASE KNIVESThe Weatherford Stabilized Walnut Utility Knife is a compact, no-nonsense fixed blade made for serious everyday tasks. Designed by South Carolina knifemaker Chad Weatherford and proudly crafted in the USA, this utility knife brings together raw functionality and handcrafted refinement in a form that’s built to be used—and used hard.
It features a 1095 carbon steel blade, forged for toughness and edge retention, making it ideal for everything from food prep to backwoods work. The forged finish not only adds character but also helps resist reflection and wear, giving the blade a worn-in, ready-for-anything appearance. Its compact utility profile is perfect for slicing, carving, or fine detail work where a smaller, more agile tool shines.
The full tang construction ensures durability and strength throughout the entire knife. The handle is made from stabilized walnut wood—rich in color and texture, yet hardened through stabilization to resist moisture, warping, and wear. The result is a handle that looks beautiful and holds up to real-world use. Steel pins and a steel lanyard tube lock the handle down tight, adding both structural integrity and practical options for carry or retention.
At just 6 inches overall, this knife is easy to carry, quick to deploy, and ready for work at a moment’s notice. Whether it’s on your belt, in your pack, or riding as a secondary blade on your kit, it’s compact without compromising performance. It comes with a brown leather sheath featuring a belt loop for convenient carry, adding to the knife’s classic, field-ready presentation.
The Weatherford Stabilized Walnut Utility Knife is made for those who value quality tools that are built by hand, not mass-produced. From its choice of high-carbon steel to the deep grain of its walnut handle, every element of this knife reflects the maker’s dedication to craftsmanship and functionality. Order it today from SMKW!
