MeatEater x MKC MeatEater Edition Stubhorn Knife

The Stubhorn is a limited-edition knife. Get yours while supplies last!

In collaboration with our friends at MKC, Steven Rinella worked closely with Josh Smith to develop the ultimate, do-it-all knife for the field. Meet the Stubhorn Hunter.

This blade is a true all-rounder, ready to tackle every task in a hunter's journey — from the moment you bag your game to the final preparation of a hard-earned meal by the campfire. It clearly captures Steven's vision: create a blade that's not only versatile enough to handle the entire hunting and harvesting process but also inviting and approachable for newcomers to the hunting world. The Stubhorn embodies Steve's welcoming spirit. Both highly capable and highly accessible, this knife will feel right at home in the hands of a seasoned pro or a complete beginner. Steve places a premium on clean opening cuts, so incorporating a surgical cutting tip was a no-brainer. Beyond that, the Stubhorn maintains a clean, classic shape with no hard edges.

Each Stubhorn comes with a custom MKC Kydex Sheath. The sheath features a built-in retention screw to customize blade tension and allow for handle-down carrying. The Stonewall sheath comes with a Kydex clip that allows you to carry your knife on a pack or belt loop, either horizontally or vertically.
