The LEM Products Caping Knife (LEM part no. 575) is a purpose-built blade for the precise, delicate cuts skinning and deboning demand around a trophy’s head and cape. Sharp, well-balanced knives are indispensable for this kind of detail work, and LEM’s full-tang stainless construction keeps the blade rigid through every pass. The stainless steel resists corrosion, holds an edge, and sharpens easily, so it stays ready trip after trip. A brightly colored, nonslip handle keeps the knife easy to spot in leaves or low light, and a sheath with a belt clip keeps it within reach whenever a hunter needs it.
