4” Outfitter Ironwood

Developed in collaboration with local professional outfitters, NWKW has created something unique and tailored to the needs of the Jackson Hole hunter. The handle is shortened to make it less cumbersome inside a carcass and the fitted leather belt sheath is easy in-and-out but holds the knife securely when things turn into a rodeo. The details are what counts and the extended choil will prevent your blood-soaked hands from slipping forward onto the blade. The addition of a lanyard hole for a p-cord loop eliminates struggling to pull it from its leather belt sheath if your hands are slick with blood.

Most knives start to dull after the first kill but The Outfitter will continue to cut with razor-sharp accuracy. Once it does need sharpening, the addition of the Spanish ricasso makes at home or backcountry sharpening no problem. Some local Jackson guides subscribe to an old wives tale that washing your knife between kills in the same season is bad luck. If you are bringing your knife to our shop to sharpen mid-season, wash that shit first. Cutting up your food with a dirty knife is just gross and we don’t want to touch it either.
