Designed with one purpose in mind, the Ericht Custom Unzipper Knife is a specialist field dressing tool engineered to make opening game cleanly, safely, and efficiently while minimising the risk of puncturing the stomach or intestines.

The knife features a 60mm cutting edge forged from 26C3 high-carbon steel—a premium steel prized for its exceptional hardness, fine grain structure, and ability to take an incredibly keen edge. Often referred to as "Spicy White," 26C3 is capable of achieving outstanding sharpness, making it an excellent choice for precision cutting tasks where control is paramount.

Every aspect of the blade geometry has been carefully refined to deliver smooth, controlled cuts through hide while helping to protect the carcass during the gralloch. The compact cutting edge offers excellent manoeuvrability, making the knife equally at home on roe, fallow, sika, and larger deer species.

The handle is crafted from premium Kirinite®, a durable acrylic composite renowned for its striking depth, vibrant colours, and excellent weather resistance. Complementing the handle are Turbo Glow liners, adding a distinctive visual accent while improving visibility in low-light conditions—ideal for those early morning starts and late evening stalks.

Each Wildriver Forge knife is individually handcrafted in Scotland, with every blade ground, heat-treated, and hand-finished to the highest standard. No two knives are exactly alike, ensuring every piece carries its own unique character while delivering uncompromising performance in the field.

Care Information

As a high-carbon steel, 26C3 will naturally develop a patina with use and requires basic maintenance to prevent corrosion. Clean and thoroughly dry the blade after use, and apply a light coat of oil before storage. With proper care, 26C3 rewards its owner with exceptional cutting performance and a razor-sharp edge that is easy to maintain.
