The Yukon: A Legacy of Performance Evolved

The Yukon is a fixed-blade knife based on a time-tested design proven by hunters and trappers in the far north. This modern interpretation incorporates contemporary materials and features to deliver exceptional performance in the field.

A Blade Built for Skinning:

• Elliptical Blade Shape: This unique blade design achieves a long skinning radius with minimal drag, allowing for smooth and efficient cuts.
• D2 Tool Steel: Renowned for its durability and good edge retention (Rockwell Hardness: 59-61), this blade tackles demanding cutting tasks with ease and stays sharp longer.
• 18-20 Degree Bevel Angle: This angle contributes to the knife’s sharpness and cutting performance.
• Additional Sharpened Top Edge: This adds versatility to the knife, providing an extra cutting surface.  For those who prefer, Model #2 has the traditional single edge.
• Hunter’s Non-Glare Matte Finish: Our ceramic-peened finish has been popular for over 30 years.

Comfort and Safety Features:

• Grooved Thumb Rest:  The gimping on the spine of the blade provides a secure area for the thumb or forefinger when field dressing and gives better control and leverage.
• Ergonomic:  The ergonomic design of this unique knife enhances grip and safety during use.
• Suregrip Handle: The finely checkered rubberized handle is designed for a secure and comfortable grip, even when wet or bloody, reducing fatigue during extended use.  Available in black or hunter orange.

Secure Carry:

• Leather Sheath: This high-quality sheath offers secure and convenient storage for your Yukon SureGrip Knife.

The Yukon Knife is a worthy successor to a legendary design. Its proven skinning performance, modern materials, and comfortable grip make it a valuable tool for hunters and outdoorsmen who appreciate tradition and innovation.
