Before founding MKC, Josh Smith spent 10 years as a lineman. He’d work the lines, strip and connect wire, and watch countless $30 knives chip, dull, and disappear off bucket trucks. When Josh started sharpening his crew’s disposable blades, they complained they were “too sharp”… until they realized how much effort they’d been wasting with dull edges.

This gave Josh an idea: What if linemen had a wire-skinning knife that was actually worth a damn? The Great Falls Skinner is that knife.

Born from Josh’s 10 years as a lineman, crafted with MKC’s uncompromising standards, and named for Great Falls, Montana, which you may have heard dubbed “the Electric City” for its hydroelectric dams, the Great Falls Skinner is the first premium wire skinning knife designed for professionals who refuse to treat their tools as disposable. This functional companion works as hard as you do, shift after shift, year after year.

MAGNACUT STAINLESS STEEL

REFINED HAWKBILL BLADE

Less hook, more control. Josh redesigned the traditional wire-skinning blade based on 20 years of field experience.

The Great Falls Skinner features a more gradual curve and a pointier tip compared to standard wire-skinning blades. This refined geometry allows linemen to whip the blade around wire and slide sheathing off effortlessly. At 0.100″ thick, it maintains the proven thickness of professional-grade skinning knives and delivers superior cutting performance.
MAGNACUT STAINLESS STEEL WITH STONEWASH FINISH

Finally, a wire-skinning knife that stays sharp through an entire shift.

While others settle for soft 440A steel that dulls before lunch, the Great Falls Skinner features premium MagnaCut stainless steel. MagnaCut delivers exceptional edge retention when cutting through tough rubber and plastic sheathing all day long.

Unlike the disposable knives that arrive dull from the factory, the Great Falls Skinner comes razor sharp and stays that way. And when it finally needs touching up, MagnaCut sharpens easily.

SQAURED G10 HANDLE

Oversized and squared off for positive grip with heavy work gloves.

The G10 handle’s squared profile prevents the Great Falls Skinner from twisting or turning in your hand during use. While holding true MKC’s signature style elements, the handle is intentionally oversized to accommodate thick rubber gloves. A massive forward guard keeps your hand where it belongs, protecting you from sliding forward onto the blade.

SHOTGUN RING AND SCRAPING NOTCH

Connect to hot sticks for remote cutting. Scrape corrosion for clean connections.

The rear ring connects to hot sticks (shotgun tools) for safely cutting wire sheathing from a distance. It also serves as a hanging point for belt carry or bucket truck storage. A dedicated notch on the blade’s spine scrapes corrosion off copper wire, which guarantees clean electrical connections… an important detail for reliable line work.

WARNING: This knife is NOT dielectric and all safety precautions should be taken.  Never work with energized wire without properly rated and tested rubber gloves! 
EXCLUSIVE MKC KYDEX SHEATH

Custom sheath with a tool loop attachment

Each Great Falls Skinner comes with a custom Kydex sheath featuring a loop for secure attachment to tool belts or carabiners. The sheath provides secure retention while working, though many linemen prefer to keep the knife hanging unsheathed for quick access during active use. It’s built for the realities of line work, not idealized safety protocols.
