Moe Cason Classic Skinner Gut Hook Knife

The Moe Cason Classic Skinner Gut Hook Knife is a tough, agile fixed-blade knife developed for field dressing and controlled cutting. Its 5-inch blade provides a practical balance of reach and manoeuvrability, while the larger handle offers a secure grip and precise control.

Developed with pitmaster Moe Cason, the knife features a full-tang construction, with the steel extending through the entire handle. This creates an exceptionally strong and durable knife capable of demanding outdoor use while retaining the responsive handling required for accurate work.

The integrated gut hook adds versatility by providing a controlled cutting point for opening hide during field dressing.

The blade uses German 1.4116 stainless steel hardened to HRC 56–58 and features a titanium-plated finish. The steel was selected for its combination of durability, corrosion resistance and ease of sharpening, while the smooth titanium-plated surface helps reduce friction during cutting.

The handle is made from solid natural ebony and individually shaped and finished by hand. Its purpose-designed shape provides a secure, natural grip that helps maintain control without unnecessary hand pressure.

Each knife is supplied with an individually made thermoplastic sheath with belt clip and a premium storage bag.

CARE

Wash the knife by hand with warm water and mild detergent and dry after use. Do not place it in a dishwasher or use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads on the titanium-plated blade. The blade does not require oiling.

Natural ebony handles require no routine oiling. If desired, an occasional application of food-safe oil can be used to enhance the natural grain and appearance of the timber. Ensure the knife and sheath are completely dry before storage.

NATURAL MATERIALS

Natural ebony varies in grain, color, texture and character. This natural variation is limited to the appearance of the handle and does not affect the knife’s dimensions, construction, strength, balance or performance.
