The HME Fixed Blade Caping Knife (brand part no. KNFBCK) is a 2.50-inch fixed blade built for the detail work a full-size skinning knife is too large to handle cleanly. Made by HME, it’s constructed from black oxide 420HC stainless steel with a non-slip thermoplastic rubber handle in green, and it ships with a heavy-duty sheath. It’s the small, precise blade you want in the pack alongside a larger skinner.

Key Specifications

• The 2.50-inch blade is sized specifically for caping and detail work around the head and hide.

• The green thermoplastic rubber handle stays grippy even with wet or bloody hands.
• It includes a heavy-duty sheath, so it carries safely on a belt or pack strap.
