Built by Chad Weatherford in South Carolina, USA, the Weatherford Wire Stripper is a compact fixed blade designed for precision utility work, everyday carry, and dependable performance when you need a specialized cutting tool close at hand. With its lightweight construction, practical proportions, and durable materials, this purpose-driven knife delivers plenty of capability without adding unnecessary bulk to your gear.
The 1.75-inch AEB-L stainless steel blade gives you a compact, controllable cutting edge that's well suited for detailed utility tasks, including wire-related work and other jobs requiring precision. AEB-L is a respected stainless steel known for taking an exceptionally sharp edge while providing excellent toughness and corrosion resistance. That combination makes it a smart choice for a working knife that may encounter moisture, dirt, and the demands of regular use. The short blade keeps the knife nimble, giving you the control needed for careful, close-up cutting.
Red G-10 handles give the Wire Stripper a distinctive appearance while providing a tough, dependable grip. G-10 is lightweight, durable, and resistant to moisture, making it a natural choice for a compact fixed blade built for practical use. The red handle stands out against the included Kydex sheath, giving the knife a bold look that's easy to spot in your gear.
At 6 inches overall, this Weatherford fixed blade maintains a compact footprint that's easy to carry and maneuver. The knife itself weighs only 2.3 ounces, so it won't burden your pocket, belt, pack, or work gear. Even with the sheath, the complete setup weighs just 3.7 ounces, making it an excellent choice when every ounce matters but you still want the strength and accessibility of a fixed blade.
The included Kydex sheath offers durable, lightweight protection and convenient carry. Its black lanyard-cord attachment provides a practical securing point, giving you additional flexibility for attaching the knife to your equipment or keeping it accessible when you're working. Kydex is well suited for everyday utility thanks to its durability, moisture resistance, and easy-care construction.
