Sawmill Filework Hunter Fixed Blade Knife

The Sawmill Filework Hunter, part of Rite Edge's import lineup, is a compact fixed blade, a 2-inch skinner blade forged from a repurposed file, with full tang construction, set in a bone and wood 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. The skinner shape gives it a broad, curved edge suited to skinning and general utility tasks, and filework cut into the spine adds a decorative touch you won't find on a plain, unadorned blade.

Sawmill built this piece for buyers who want a small fixed blade with some character behind it, not just another factory stamping. Explore more Hunting 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. Its 5.5-inch overall length keeps it small enough to ride comfortably on a belt without getting in the way during other tasks. That compact footprint also makes it an easy knife to hand off or lend out without worrying about an oversized blade.
