Sawmill Cutlery 0017 Full Tang Fixed Knife

Description

The Sawmill Hunter, part of Rite Edge’s import lineup, is a fixed blade, a 5-inch blade forged from a repurposed steel file, with full tang construction, set in a Colorwood handle, and shipped with a leather belt sheath. Made in Pakistan.

Starting from an actual file means the blade begins life as a hardened, high-carbon tool steel, which holds an edge well through repeated field use. Colorwood is dyed and laminated to give the handle a vibrant, distinctive look while staying durable enough for regular outdoor use. At 5 inches, the blade has enough length for serious cutting tasks beyond light everyday work.

Sawmill built this piece for buyers who want a fixed blade with some character behind it, not just another factory stamping.

• Blade forged from a high-carbon steel file
• Colorwood handle gives it a vibrant, distinctive look
• 5-inch blade suited to serious cutting tasks
• Made in Pakistan

Buyers who like knowing where a blade’s steel actually came from tend to gravitate toward file-forged pieces like this one over anything cut from a generic blank. The dyed, laminated construction of the handle also holds up better outdoors than a plain stained wood would, resisting fading and moisture over repeated use. A five-inch blade puts this knife firmly in general hunting and camp knife territory, big enough for larger cutting tasks without tipping into oversized, hard-to-control territory. The included belt sheath rounds out the package, so there’s no need to shop separately for a way to carry it.
