The Skinning Knife 

You can skin with any knife, but to get good and easy results you need a blade of the right shape matched with a handle that allows you to freely and easily move that blade and adjust it to the contours of the game. A Tod Cutler Skinning Knife has exactly these features.

The blade tip is rounded and flared to take the point above the centreline of the handle to create a classic skinning blade profile that has remained unchanged for hundreds of years. The handle is rounded with a soft heel to allow you to manoeuvre it in your hand with a finger grip indent to allow for a secure grip when it is slippery.

Comes with a leather belt sheath.

Overall length 220mm /8.6”

Blade length 111mm /4.5”

Handle length 100mm /3.9”

Blade thickness 3.6mm /0.15”

Steel is medium carbon steel 

 

The Bushcraft Knife

The classic form of bushcraft knife with a short, stout but controllable blade and a comfortable handle providing you with an indispensable tool for every wilderness and survival task you can imagine.  The blade is short enough to allow complete control, and fine enough to provide a good edge making this the perfect knife for any aspiring woodsman or just a camping trip. 

From whittling a stick to making a “survival crossbow”, this knife will be a reliable partner and comes with a leather belt sheath.

Overall length      223mm /8.75”

Blade length         114mm /4.5”

The Field Knife 

The Tod Cutler Field Knife is the very slightly larger brother of the classic Bushcraft Knife.  The handle form is a rounded rectangle making for a comfortable grip, but one with excellent edge control.  When this is combined with an edge that is ground right to the heel of the blade you have a tool that can undertake heavy field work or precise survival and camp activities.   Combine this with a broad and stout blade and you have a classic sheath knife for all manner of outdoor work. 

From whittling a stick to making a “survival crossbow”, this knife will be a reliable partner and comes with a leather belt sheath.
