Clean Cuts, No Compromise: A Pure Skinning Design

Quantity:

SPECIAL COLLABORATION

MKC x CAM HANES - PACKOUT SKINNER

We teamed up with the legendary Cameron Hanes to create a knife that embodies his relentless spirit: The Packout. This isn't your everyday blade; it's a compact, purpose-built skinning knife designed to make the toughest jobs easier.

After countless hours of design and testing, we've created a knife that's as tough and determined as Cam himself. Built for backcountry hunters who demand the best, the Packout is ready to tackle any skinning challenge. It’s a knife that is a testament to Cam Hanes’s work ethic: “Nobody Cares. Work Harder.”

COMPACT CRESCENT DESIGN

The Packout Skinner boasts a unique, half-moon skinning blade that maximizes cutting efficiency in a minimal footprint.

This knife is all belly, providing 3.5 inches of cutting edge packed into a 3-inch blade. The sweeping curve allows for long, clean strokes, making quick work of skinning. Cam wanted a compact package that could make quick work of his favorite game including, Blacktailed-deer, Whitetail, Mule deer, Elk or bears - and the Packout delivers. 

The Packout Skinner excels at fleshing out hides in the field, where its rounded tip minimizes the risk of puncturing. This knife may be small, but it's a powerhouse of skinning efficiency.

MAGNACUT STAINLESS STEEL

Made from premium MagnaCut stainless steel, the Packout Skinners's blade offers exceptional toughness, edge retention, and corrosion resistance.

At 110 thousandths thick, our stonewashed MagnaCut steel hits the sweet spot between hardness and toughness. It holds an edge through multiple animals but won't chip or break when you're deep in the backcountry.

Learn more about MagnaCut stainless steel from its creator, Larrin Thomas.

ERGONOMIC G10 HANDLE

The Packout Skinner's handle is crafted from milled G-10, providing a secure, comfortable grip even in wet or cold conditions.

This knife is designed to feel like a natural extension of your hand. The handle features a palm swell that fills your grip, giving you complete control. The way the handle ramps down in the front allows for your index finger to be placed along the top of the blade, or you can reverse grip and put your thumb on top where it falls into the half moon shape perfectly.

Even with its compact size, the Packout Skinner offers a full, ergonomic grip that minimizes hand fatigue. It's designed to fit comfortably in large hands and while wearing gloves, ensuring you can work efficiently for hours on end. We’ve also added Cam’s signature red and black layered handle to the color choices.

UNIQUELY DESIGNED FOR SKINNING

The Packout Skinner is a dedicated skinning knife, and that's where it shines.

With its unique blade shape and comfortable handle, the Packout excels at skinning game. While it may not be your primary blade, it's the perfect secondary knife for when you need to get the hide off quickly and efficiently. When paired with a larger blade like the Whitetail or the Super Cub, it becomes a complete system that can handle every step of processing.

EXCLUSIVE MKC KYDEX SHEATH

The Packout Skinner comes with a custom-molded Kydex sheath, designed for secure retention and easy access.

This sheath is built to withstand the beatings of the backcountry, keeping your knife protected and readily available. The retention screw allows you to customize the blade tension and allow for handle-down carry. The Packout Skinner sheath comes with a Kydex clip that allows you to carry your knife on a pack or belt loop, either horizontally or vertically.

Free Sharpening For Life & Beyond

Generations® is our promise to restore your knife to its original, unmatched working condition.

MKC will clean, sharpen, repair, and even reshape your blades when necessary, as well as rewrapping handles free of charge. While we perform all necessary sharpening and maintenance, our aim is not to return your knife to its brand new appearance.Learn more about MKC Generations Promise.

    Perfect Skinner

    I’m a huge Cam Hanes fan, so this is a collaboration I was excited to see. This knife feels great in the hand and is a great skinner. If yours hunter, you won’t be disappointed picking one of these up.

    I have yet to sharpen this knife, already used it on a hog and just killed my first dealer this year and used it again and it is still extremely sharp so sharp. I cut my finger three times.

    These knives have good edge retention and are extremely sharp, so handle with care and know where your fingers are at all times. I have yet to sharpen this knife and it is still extremely sharp after using several times on different animals.

    THE BEST

    This is the second MKC knife I have bought and they are absolutely the best thing you have ever put in your hand to skin an animal straight out the box I have used it to fully cape out 2 whitetails and use it for gp use in the woods and have yet to need to sharpen it! Trying to sharpen a blade in the middle of your animal is now a thing of the past!

    Thank you for five stars Braden! We're absolutely thrilled to hear the Packout Skinner - Keep Hammering Edition is living up to that title - that's incredible feedback! It's fantastic to know this is your second MKC knife and that we're consistently delivering that out-of-the-box sharpness and performance you can count on in the field. Hearing that you've fully caped out two whitetails and put it through general woods use without needing to touch up the edge is exactly the kind of real-world performance this blade was designed for! That's the beauty of quality steel and proper heat treatment - no more mid-field sharpening sessions when you're in the middle of processing your harvest. We love hearing from hunters who truly put these knives to work where it matters most. Thanks for taking the time to share this awesome feedback from the field!

    Packout skinner review

    Knife was not as sharp as I was hoping for. After close examination, one side of the cutting edge appeared to have a different beveled angle from the opposite side. After rolling my thumb across the cutting edge, it was apparent one direction felt different from the other. The over all knife itself looks well made. I love the deep belly on the blade, the full tang construction, and lightweight design. The handle fits my hand really well.

    Hi Anthony,

    Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed experience with the Packout! We're really glad to hear that you love several aspects of the design - the deep belly on the blade, full tang construction, lightweight feel, and comfortable handle fit. It's great that those key features are working well for you.

    However, we're genuinely sorry to hear about the sharpness issue and the inconsistent bevel angles on the cutting edge. That's definitely not the level of precision we strive for in our blade geometry, and we completely understand your disappointment when the edge doesn't feel consistent from both directions. Quality control on our edge work is something we take seriously, and it sounds like this one didn't meet our standards before it shipped out. We really appreciate you taking the time to give such specific feedback about both what's working well and what needs improvement - that kind of detailed review helps us identify where we need to tighten up our processes while also knowing we're hitting the mark on design elements like the handle and overall construction. Please reach out to customer service so we can send you a return label to have the edge corrected for you. Cheers!
