Thread 'Help finalize the "Dixie Zipper" (Mini CBK) for a group buy'

Jan 31, 2025

@Dixie has been working on perfecting a Mini CBK (Canadian Belt Knife) design. I am in LOVE with the design and its effectiveness as a skinning/processing knife.

The name "Dixie Zipper" is inspired in part by @nebhunt when he said this about a knife Dixie sent him:

"The handle design also makes it easy to unzip the hide off animals when you flip it over."​

​

I completely agree, when I used Dixie's knife, it was like unzipping the hide, just crazy. Unless you have one of these unique designs you just don't know how easy it is. The "zipper" feature is because...

Mora knife. Buy two (or three....or whatever multiple you'd like....) for the money you'd spend on a more expensive knife.

I would take the dixi zipper over any og my mkc knives.

The only knife I would consider over it is a heavily customized esee 3 I have. But specifically for cutting up animals the zipper wins out.

Thanks for the info. Looking forward to make some purchases.

Argali Serac is that knife for me.

I did get a Dixie Zipper that I’m quite excited to test.

If you’re interested in the CBK style there’s several custom makers as well. Dixie, slalomnorth are members here that make them. There’s a couple of others as well but those two come first to mind.

Thread 'Custom mini Canadian belt knife'

Dec 1, 2024

New knife arrived today from Cyprus Creek Knives. 3” version of a Canadian belt knife in MagnaCut with vintage linen micarta scales. Nice high grind and very thin behind the edge. It missed deer season by about a week, but I think it’s going to be an everyday knife that handles my small and big game chores. I specifically asked for a kydex taco-style a heat with an ulticlip. Jared Beavers makes a really nice, handmade knife for a reasonable price.

I’ve been looking for a knife for couple years now. I’m not interested in expensive brands but more so the steel they are made out of. I have and use a cheap steel knife and I can’t make it through 1 deer without the edge rolling over but it sharpens quickly and easily to a razor blade.
D2 seems to have great edge retention but is hard to sharpen. I’ve been considering a cts-xhp steel. Also the buck knife magnacut steel sounds interesting.

Carbon steel Mora with an orange handle.
Carbon steel is easier for me to sharpen and the orange handle gives me a better chance of being able to use it again

 

[MuleyFever]

Outdoor Edge and a couple of blades will do anything you need it to.
