Skinning knives can often be a one-trick pony. However, they’re supposed to excel at one thing and do it well. The Case Knives Sasquatch Skinner is a skinner and beyond!
Sasquatch Who?
Laramy “Sasquatch” Miller lives like he stepped out of a frontier legend. Raised in southern Colorado, he learned old-school wilderness skills from his uncles, Dirk and Colt Ross, early hunting filmmakers who tragically died in a plane crash. Miller carried on their legacy by guiding and creating shows like Sasquatch Mountain Man, where he lives off the land using handmade bows, traditional rifles, and buckskin gear, much like he might with a Case Knives Sasquatch Skinner.
At 6’7″, 270 pounds, his nickname fits his rugged style. He once lost 37 pounds while filming a season, enduring harsh conditions to live authentically, just like the mountain men he admires. A gun accident even led doctors to discover his ruptured appendix—luck saved him twice.
Despite the wild-man image, he’s a devoted family man with deep roots in his grandfather’s values. Miller doesn’t just reenact history—he immerses himself in it.
Case Knives Sasquatch Skinner
Meet the Laramy Miller Sasquatch Skinner—a no-nonsense fixed blade that’s ready to tackle any challenge in the wild. At a solid 8.75 inches long, with a 3.94-inch blade. It’s the perfect blend of reach and control, whether you’re skinning game or handling camp duties.
Crafted from tough 1095 carbon steel and wrapped in a stealthy dark Caswell™ coating, this blade not only keeps its edge sharp but also fights off rust like a champ. The handle, made from smooth Micarta®, provides a secure, scratch-resistant grip that feels good even after hours of hard work. With its full-tang design, this knife boasts exceptional durability, while the ergonomic shape ensures your hand stays firmly in place, regardless of the task at hand. Truly a Case Knives masterpiece.
And let’s not forget the stylish leather sheath that comes with it, offering classic protection and handy belt carry. Proudly made in Bradford, PA, Case Knives designed this one for performance, built to endure for the long haul!
In The Woods with Sasquatch
Using the Laramy Miller Sasquatch Skinner feels less like wielding a knife and more like gearing up for an adventure in survival mode. The first thing I did with this rugged beauty? I roasted marshmallows—just kidding! I set about making a fire. After all, it’s not hunting season around here; it’s skeeter season! A little smoke in the humid air is the best mosquito repellent I know (desperate times call for desperate measures).
With a dry birch stick in hand, I grabbed the Case Sasquatch Skinner and got to feathering. Oh boy, this blade’s edge geometry blew me away! I whipped up some curls that were so fine they practically begged for a spark. And boy did they get it! My trusty Uberleben Ferro and the edge of the Sasquatch knife made them burst into flames faster than you can say “bonfire.” Who knew that hidden gem of a 90-degree angle would turn out to be an MVP?
Next, I challenged the Sasquatch to tackle some poplar and maple. A little batoning action, and I felt zero hesitation—it sliced through like a hot knife through butter, and hey, with its carbon steel, durability is a given! Although I did notice that the handle felt a tad skinny for some of the detailed crafts I had in mind. But then again, maybe that’s the trade-off for being labeled a Skinner instead of a full-on survival knife.
Either way, this little beast is up for the challenge!
Conclusion of the Case Knives Sasquatch Skinner
