Surgeon / Surgeon-R – Precision Without Compromise
The Surgeon and its ringed counterpart, the Surgeon-R, are compact fixed blades engineered for control, precision, and real-world utility. Each knife measures 7" total length with a 2.5" scalpel blade shaped in the style of a No. 22 surgical scalpel—broad, curved, and built for clean, precise cuts that rival surgical instruments.
This scalpel knife combines the reliability of a fixed blade design with the cutting precision of surgical blades. Machined from a single piece of fully hardened steel in the United States, the Surgeon line combines a 1/4" thick scalpel handle for strength and grip with a 1/8" thick blade for slicing efficiency. Jimping along the spine and underside of the handle ensures excellent control in varied grips, while laser-engraved side texturing adds both traction and visual detail.
Available in AEB-L stainless steel, CPM 3V, or Magnacut steel options, these steel blades offer a balance of toughness, corrosion resistance, and sharp edge retention. Whether you're breaking down small game, cutting through tough materials, or relying on it as part of your everyday carry emergency loadout, the Surgeon delivers uncompromising performance for everyday tasks requiring surgical precision.
























Carry Options & Accessories
Each scalpel knife includes a precision-fit 3D-printed sheath, compatible with a range of Discreet Carry Concepts clips for versatile carry options. Traditional users can choose handcrafted leather sheaths from Chattanooga Leather Works. Both systems protect sharp blades while providing reliable retention, bringing surgical-level performance from backcountry to urban environments.
