Hot Metal Knives HMK Scalpel V5 Stainless Skeleton ナイフ

The HMK Scalpel V5 Stainless Skeleton is an ultralight fixed blade designed by Finnish bladesmith Thomas Rönnberg. This minimalist version focuses on simplicity, precision and maximum weight reduction while maintaining the performance expected from the Scalpel series.

The blade is made from high-quality stainless steel and features a skeletonized full tang construction, keeping the knife extremely lightweight while maintaining strength and control.

In this Skeleton version the traditional paracord handle wrap has been intentionally left out to create a cleaner, lighter and more minimalistic design.

The skeleton handle also provides an excellent platform for DIY customization, allowing users to create their own handle scales or cord wraps according to personal preference.

The knife comes with an improved Kydex sheath with rivet lock, ensuring secure retention and easy access. The compact sheath allows the knife to be carried conveniently in a pocket or around the neck.

The HMK Scalpel V5 Stainless Skeleton is an ideal choice for ultralight outdoor kits, hunting, and everyday carry (EDC) where minimal weight and reliable cutting performance are essential.

Each HMK knife is handcrafted in small batches.
