The Harris is a purpose-built skinning knife for hunters who need a tool that works as well in the skinning shed as it does around camp. Tough, agile, and dependable, it handles everything from breaking down a deer or mule deer to food prep and gear work in cold conditions.

Built from Nitride-finished CPM 3V or tumbled Magnacut, The Harris offers excellent edge retention and corrosion resistance through multiple animals without stopping to sharpen. Choose textured micarta, G10, or Ultem scales, and carry it in a precision-formed Kydex or leather sheath.

Designed with Army Veteran and lifelong hunter Will Harris, this fixed blade brings more than 30 years of field experience into a knife that stays nimble for skinning yet strong for demanding camp tasks. For processing wild game or everyday outdoor use, The Harris is a reliable full-tang hunting knife built for real work.

Blade Profiles

  • CPM 3V - Nitride Finish

    A tool steel chosen for hunters who value toughness above all else. CPM 3V resists chipping during boning, joint work, or processing large animals. Its nitride coating adds corrosion resistance, making it reliable in wet or cold conditions. Occasional oiling keeps the blade performing through repeated use, and the steel’s durability helps it handle heavy pressure cuts in the field.

  • Magnacut - Tumbled Finish

    A stainless steel blade engineered for hunters who want durability, stainless steel corrosion resistance, and long edge life in a single package. Heat-treated to deliver exceptional performance, Magnacut stays sharp during extended field work and is ideal for breaking down elk, deer, and other big game without swapping to replacement blades or a separate boning knife.

Carry Options

The Harris is available with either a custom-fit Kydex sheath or a handcrafted leather sheath, both made in-house for a secure and reliable carry. Each option offers a slim, durable profile that rides comfortably in your pack, on your belt, or against your chest rig, keeping the blade protected from moisture, debris, and accidental pinch points while moving through brush.

Where The Harris Excels

  • Skinning & Game Processing

    The Harris is built around the controlled cuts and fine edge work required for skinning wild game. Its geometry supports precise slices along rib cages, legs, and tight contours, useful across small game and big game alike. The shaped handle and thinner blade profile near the tip give hunters the sharp edge needed for clean, accurate skinning without relying on a gut hook or a replaceable blade system.

  • Camp & Utility Work

    Beyond the skinning shed, the Harris performs as a dependable general-purpose fixed blade. Use it for camp tasks like preparing food, shaving tinder, trimming rope, or carving gear. Its full-tang build offers the strength expected from a premium field knife without the ongoing cost of replacement blades, making it a long-term tool you can trust for daily use in any conditions around camp.

  • Cold Weather Performance

    Both steel options maintain reliable cutting performance in cold weather, with grippy handle textures that stay secure even with gloves or wet hands. The blade geometry stays predictable under pressure, giving hunters confidence during detailed work. Designed for comfort and stability, the Harris performs consistently in freezing temperatures and extended outdoor use.

FAQ

Why choose The Harris over a replaceable blade knife?

Replaceable blade systems can break, dull quickly, or become unsafe under heavy pressure. The Harris is a full tang fixed blade that provides consistent strength and a sharp edge you can rely on throughout the entire hunt without needing replacement blades in your pack.

Is Magnacut or CPM 3V better for hunting?

Magnacut offers stainless steel corrosion resistance and long edge life, making it ideal for wet climates and extended hunts. CPM 3V provides extreme toughness and excels when processing big game or bone-heavy tasks. Both outperform typical utility knife steels, and hunters who want a deeper comparison can read our blog that breaks down Magnacut and CPM 3V side by side.

Does The Harris include a gut hook?

No. The Harris uses a controlled geometry that eliminates the need for a gut hook, giving hunters cleaner, more versatile performance during skinning and field dressing.

Can this knife handle big game like elk or mule deer?

Absolutely. The Harris was built to break down large animals without frequent sharpening. Its shape allows precise skinning while the strong spine handles joint separation and deboning.

How should I care for my skinning knife?

For CPM 3V, keep the blade dry and apply a light coat of oil when storing. For Magnacut, simple cleaning and drying are usually enough thanks to its stainless steel corrosion resistance. All knives should be stored safely in the sheath and touched up periodically with a sharpening stone.
