Introducing the GreBec Knives Crepe Myrtle Caping Knife #393, a 6 3/8″ fixed-blade masterpiece from our exclusive Florida Wood Series. This handcrafted knife features a precision 3″ brushed drop-point blade in 1095 high-carbon steel. The blade is electrochemically etched with the iconic Florida state outline as a tribute to its Sunshine State roots.
The compact size and thoughtful design deliver exceptional control for detailed tasks like caping, skinning, or carving—making it an ideal caping knife for hunters and taxidermists. It also excels as a patch knife for traditional black powder muzzleloaders, perfect for precisely trimming cloth patches around the ball at the muzzle during loading. At just 3/32″ thick and 2.75 ounces, it balances rugged toughness with delicate finesse. Not familiar with caping? Check out our post explaining how caping knives are used in the field.
Greg personally harvested the Crepe Myrtle wood from North Central Florida, trimming overgrown branches, drying them, and stabilizing the scales in-house to showcase the wood’s stunning, unique grain patterns. Brass pins secure the ergonomic handle for a secure grip, while the lanyard tube adds customization options and easy access from pocket or sheath. Each knife comes paired with a custom hand-cut and stitched leather pouch sheath, embodying GreBec Knives’ dedication to regional pride and reliable performance.
Perfect for hunters, campers, or collectors who demand precision in a lightweight package, the Crepe Myrtle Caping Knife #393 complements our Camping Knives and EDC Knives collections.
