“SKIPJACK: skip the jack-knife and put a fixed blade in your pocket!”
The Skipjack is the first pocket knife from Nordsmith Knives. Yes, it is a fixed blade, but with its leather pocket sheath with built-in clip, it is easy to carry every day while being less obtrusive than a traditional belt sheath.

A fixed blade for your pocket, the Nordsmith Skipjack takes the best parts from the past to create a fully modern EDC. Folding knives have moving parts that can wear out and are difficult to keep clean. The full-tang Skipjack fixes these problems by eliminating them and comes with a leather pocket sheath for convenient carry.
AEB-L stainless steel provides fantastic toughness and edge stability, holding a great edge without much effort required in sharpening. 3/32" thick with a full flat grind, the blade is sturdy and provides fantastic slicing performance. The versatile drop point shape allows this knife to perform well for a broad array of needs, covering daily utility chores, light kitchen use, skinning small game and anything in between.
With handles made from canvas micarta, the American-made Nordsmith Skipjack offers just enough grip, with a versatile shape that transitions from full-fisted grips to fine manipulation with ease.
The Nordsmith Skipjack comes equipped with a black-dyed leather sheath made by JRE Industries, providing function, versatility, and style. It is equipped with a pocket clip, allowing you to carry this knife every day just as easily as any modern folder without any of the drawbacks. The knife will fit tightly into the sheath at first but will break in with use for a secure hold with easy extraction.
As with all Nordsmith Knives, the Skipjack proudly designed and built by hand in the USA.
