Case Fixed Blade: Hunters, Skinners & Bowie Knives

Case's fixed blade lineup covers everything from compact leather-handled hunters to full-tang Bowies built with custom knifemakers. Unlike Case's folding patterns, every knife here is a solid, one-piece blade and tang, so there's no lock or spring to worry about, just a fixed edge ready to work.

The range includes the Ridgeback Hunter in canvas, burlap, and laminate Micarta handles, the CT Hunter in premium CPM-S35VN and Nitro-V steel, Laramy Miller's Sasquatch Skinner and Bowie in 1095 carbon steel, the Roland Welker RW 100 Hunter, the compact Mini Finn Hunter with a stacked leather handle, three lightweight Zytel-handled field hunters, and an 8" walnut-handled chef's knife from Case's Household Cutlery line.

Prices run from $49.99 for the Household Cutlery Chef's Knife up through $189.99 for the Laramy Miller Sasquatch Bowie, so there's a Case fixed blade here for the field, the kitchen, or a collection.

Tru-Sharp vs. premium steelMost Case fixed blades use Tru-Sharp stainless steel for easy, low-maintenance carry. Select models step up to CPM-S35VN or Nitro-V for better edge retention, or 1095 carbon steel with a Caswell finish for a traditional working-knife edge that needs a little more care to prevent rust.

The Case Fixed Blade Buyer's Guide (2026)

How to choose a model, blade steel, and handle material from Case's fixed blade lineup.

What Makes a Fixed Blade Different+

Unlike Case's folding patterns, a fixed blade has no hinge or lock: the blade and tang are one solid piece, running the full length of the handle on most models here. That construction makes a fixed blade stronger for hard use like batoning, skinning, or heavy field dressing, at the cost of needing a sheath for safe carry.

Case's fixed blade lineup spans compact leather-handled hunters, premium-steel field knives, designer-collaboration Bowies, and even a household chef's knife, all built at Case's factory in Bradford, Pennsylvania.

Designer Collaborations+

Case partners with well-known knifemakers on several fixed blades in this lineup. The Sasquatch Skinner and Sasquatch Bowie are designed with Laramy Miller, and the RW 100 Hunter is designed with survivalist Roland Welker, each bringing their own blade geometry and construction details to a Case-built knife.

Tru-Sharp, CPM-S35VN, Nitro-V, and 1095 Steel Compared+

Tru-Sharp stainless steel resists corrosion and needs little maintenance, making it the easiest choice for everyday field use. CPM-S35VN and Nitro-V are premium steels that hold an edge longer between sharpenings while still resisting rust. 1095 carbon steel, finished here with a Caswell coating, takes an especially keen edge for heavy skinning and camp work, but needs a light coat of oil after use to prevent rust.

Sheaths and Carry+

Every Case fixed blade in this lineup ships with a genuine leather sheath except the Lightweight Hunter models and the Household Cutlery Chef's Knife, which ship in a protective clamp pack instead. A snug-fitting sheath keeps the edge protected and the knife quickly accessible on a belt.

Case Fixed Blade: Frequently Asked Questions

Answers from Knifeworks' team on choosing a Case fixed blade knife.

What's the difference between a fixed blade and a folding knife?+

A fixed blade has no hinge or lock: the blade and tang are one solid piece, which makes it stronger for hard use like batoning or heavy skinning. A folding knife trades some of that strength for pocket-friendly carry.

What blade steel should I choose?+

Tru-Sharp stainless is the easiest to maintain for everyday field use. CPM-S35VN and Nitro-V hold an edge longer while still resisting rust. 1095 carbon steel takes an especially keen edge but needs a light coat of oil after use.

Who are Laramy Miller and Roland Welker?+

They're knifemakers who partnered with Case to design specific fixed blades in this lineup: Laramy Miller designed the Sasquatch Skinner and Bowie, and Roland Welker designed the RW 100 Hunter.

Is the CT Hunter a good all-purpose field knife?+

Yes. Its narrow profile is built for fine, controlled work in the field, and its premium CPM-S35VN or Nitro-V steel holds an edge well across a range of outdoor tasks.

What comes with each fixed blade knife?+

Most models ship with a genuine leather sheath. The Lightweight Hunter models and the Household Cutlery Chef's Knife ship in a protective clamp pack instead.

Can the Household Cutlery Chef's Knife be used outdoors?+

It's built and balanced for kitchen prep work like slicing, chopping, and mincing rather than field tasks. For hunting and outdoor use, choose one of Case's hunter or skinner models instead.

What is the Mini Finn Hunter best suited for?+

Its compact size and concave-ground Clip blade make it well suited to small game like trout and rabbit, rather than heavier field dressing tasks.

Are Case fixed blade knives made in the USA?+

Yes. Case's fixed blade knives, including its designer collaborations, are made at Case's factory in Bradford, Pennsylvania.
