Sawmill 0023 Filework Skinner Fixed Blade Knife

The Sawmill Filework Skinner, part of Rite Edge's import lineup, is a fixed blade, a 4.25-inch clip point carbon steel blade forged from a repurposed file, with full tang construction, set in a Pakkawood handle with a brass guard, 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. Pakkawood is a resin-treated wood that shrugs off moisture and warping far better than plain, untreated wood ever could, and the brass guard adds a layer of protection between hand and blade.

Sawmill built this piece for buyers who want a fixed blade with some character behind it, not just another factory stamping. Explore more Camp & Field Knives. Explore more fixed blade knives.

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 brass guard also does double duty as a visual accent, breaking up the wood and steel with a warmer tone that stands out in a display case.
