The PDW SPD STS-SFLT Mudhorn Sigil Edition is a skeletonized fixed blade field knife precision machined from a single continuous piece of CPM MagnaCut steel, blade and handle in one unbroken construction, at a total weight of 2.8 ounces. Featuring the Mudhorn sigil of Din Djarin and Grogu, this is a modern evolution of the American Bowie clip point pattern, it is designed for backpackers, overlanders, and expedition carry where pack weight is non-negotiable and cutting performance cannot be compromised. At 9.0 inches overall with a 4.25-inch blade, it occupies the practical center ground between a compact neck knife and a full-sized camp knife, capable of food preparation, campsite tasks, and bushcraft work without the weight penalty of a conventional fixed blade. The skeletonized handle is wrapped in Type-95 nylon paracord, removable for use as field cordage. Includes a kydex sheath with two spring clips for left or right belt carry. Available in Orange, Type-95 cord wrap.

Designed by PDW's Special Projects Division for the kind of traveler who weighs every gram and carries every piece of gear with a specific purpose in mind. The STS-SFLT (Skeletonized Field Lightweight) is not a compromise between weight and performance. The choice of CPM MagnaCut as the single construction material means the blade that cuts is the same material that forms the handle, with nothing lost in the translation.

"The knife is made from a single, unbroken piece of MagnaCut steel... crazy lightweight, clocking in at just 2.8 ounces overall."

PDW SPD STS-SFLT Skeletonized Fixed Blade/Mudhorn - FAQ

What Does STS-SFLT Stand For?

Featuring the sigil of Din Djarin, this STS-SFLT is PDW's Special Projects Division internal designation for this knife. The SFLT suffix denotes the skeletonized, field-lightweight construction that defines the design: a single-piece CPM MagnaCut blade and handle at 2.8 ounces total. The name is a PDW engineering designation rather than a buyer-facing descriptor, in keeping with the SPD sub-brand's approach to product nomenclature.

What Is the Blade Steel and Why Does It Matter for a Field Knife?

CPM MagnaCut is a powder metallurgy stainless steel that balances edge retention, toughness, and corrosion resistance better than most prior knife steels in this class. For a fixed blade carried in the field, corrosion resistance matters more than in a folding pocket knife, because the blade is exposed to weather, humidity, food acids, and vegetation contact over extended periods. MagnaCut handles prolonged wet exposure significantly better than S35VN or D2, making it the correct specification for a backpacking knife, camp knife, or expedition fixed blade used in outdoor environments. It also holds a working edge through repeated food preparation and campsite use without demanding frequent sharpening.

Is the Entire Knife, Blade and Handle, Made from One Piece of MagnaCut Steel?

Yes. The STS-SFLT is a full-tang skeletonized construction machined from a single continuous piece of CPM MagnaCut. However this variant is fully coated in black Cerakote. There is no separate handle material, no scales, and no fasteners joining blade to handle. The Type-95 paracord wrap is wound around the skeletonized handle section for grip and can be removed for use as field cordage without compromising the structural integrity of the knife.

What Is the Bowie Clip Point and Why Was It Chosen for This Design?

The Bowie clip point is one of the most proven blade geometries in American knife design, characterized by a concave or straight clip cut along the spine toward the tip that reduces tip mass, improves point control, and creates a fine working tip capable of detailed cuts. The false upper swedge on the STS-SFLT continues the classic Bowie profile without adding a sharpened secondary edge. For a field knife used in food preparation, campsite work, and bushcraft tasks, the clip point offers more tip precision than a drop point while retaining adequate belly for general cutting work. The American Bowie pattern was chosen deliberately as a functional reference point with deep cultural and practical roots in field use.

How Does the STS-SFLT Compare to a Neck Knife for Ultralight Carry?

A dedicated neck knife in the 1.5 to 2.0 ounce range will be lighter, but the trade-off is blade length and cutting capability. At 2.8 ounces and 4.25 inches of blade, the STS-SFLT occupies a more capable position: enough blade for food preparation, wood processing, and sustained campsite work that a 2.5-inch neck knife cannot handle effectively. For a backpacker or overlander who carries one knife and needs it to cover the full range of camp and trail tasks, the STS-SFLT is the more functional choice at a weight penalty of less than one ounce over a typical neck knife. For pure gram counting with minimal cutting demands, a neck knife or small fixed blade is the appropriate choice.

Can the Paracord Wrap Be Replaced or Removed?

Yes. The Type-95 nylon paracord wrap is wound onto the skeletonized handle and can be removed for use as emergency field cordage. It can be rewrapped with standard Type III 550 paracord or Type-95 cord. The three color variants (Black, Orange, OD Green) differ only in paracord color. All other specifications are identical across variants.

What Is the Kydex Sheath Carry Configuration?

The included kydex sheath ships with two spring clips configured for right or left side strong-side belt carry on standard belt widths. It is not a dedicated MOLLE attachment, but the spring clips are compatible with most duty and outdoor belts. Kydex provides positive, audible retention, is fully waterproof, and will not deform, soften, or lose retention in wet or humid field conditions, a key functional advantage over leather for an expedition and backpacking fixed blade. The sheath also includes slots for optional aftermarket strapping and alternative carry configurations.

Is the STS-SFLT Suitable for Backpacking as a Primary Field Knife?

Yes. At 2.8 ounces, the STS-SFLT is competitive with dedicated ultralight backpacking knives while offering a more capable blade length and a corrosion-resistant steel specification appropriate for extended outdoor use. The MagnaCut construction handles food preparation, campsite utility tasks, and emergency cordage cutting without the corrosion concerns of carbon steel in wet environments. The paracord wrap provides a functional cordage reserve in the handle itself. For a mid-sized field knife that covers the full range of camp and trail cutting tasks at a weight that does not compromise a lightweight pack, the STS-SFLT is the appropriate specification.

My little buddy loves it! (Loves it no more)
I ordered this in advance of the arrival of my 11 wk old Corgi pup. Not knowing what kind of a chewer I was getting, I wanted something that squeaked but did not have too many extremities to rip and tear at. I also didn't want too much stuffing to end up all over my house and in my buddy's tummy. It is soft and well constructed. I like that the snake is compartmentalized so that if one segment is breached, the others are not. As it turned out, at this time, my pup is not a violent ripper (except for with paper and cardboard). After a week of testing, it is his favorite toy. It took him about two days to figure out how to squeak it and boy does he love it. It is the only toy he will haul around, which is hilarious because its bigger than he is. It is also the only toy that he will play fetch with. I'm also working on "leave it" with the with him. Nemo chews a lot, but hasn't shown much interest in ripping at his toys, so after a week (if it were washed) it could probably pass as new. I also try to switch him over to a bone or rubber toy when he starts getting really excited. I am weary since my last dog was a lab who would shred her toys in seconds. Nemo was ripping at the tag (something about paper) so I cut that off to prevent a seem getting opened up. I'm surprised that the tongue is still intact. The tongue and eyes are weak links and Nemo does like to chew on them. Overall, I'm very pleased with this toy. My husband was skeptical and thought it a bit ridiculous, but even he has decided it was a good buy. *Update* Our original snake lasted 7 months. Nemo loved it. He would carry it around with him and squeak it till my husband and I went insane. He had mastered the rapid fire squeak. It was also the only toy he would reliably fetch. After 7 months my pup had punctured two of the squeakers and the fur was getting threadbare in some place. But overall we were very happy with the product. Last week we had a guest GSP at our home and he demolished the toy within minutes. Shredded all of the squeakers and the casing. So we were forced to get Nemo a new one. Unfortunately they have since changed the design. There is now a piping that goes all the way around the snake (before it was blind stitched). Nemo has a thing about tags and edges, he works slowly and methodically to nibble them off. Once the piping was compromised, Nemo had easy access to the squeakers. This new version of the toy lasted only a few hours. I am extremely disappointed with the changes made. I have reduced my 5 star review to 1 star and will no longer recommend this product.

These really are durable and tough!
OMG! I have 2 large dogs. A 90 lb.golden retriever and a 75 lb. black lab mix. They LOVE to chew and every squeaky toy I have bought for them is demolished in less than 2-3 days! Even the KONG brand. I have spend hundreds of dollars on various dog toys, chews, squeaky toys, etc.None of them stood a chance! LOL So, I saw these "stuffingless durable tough" snakes and decided to give it a try! Why not? My husband even told me NOT to buy them as they would just be torn apart in days. The snakes came and each dog got one. I ordered 2 of the same color in red. At first, they weren't quite sure what to do with them as they are pretty long. Approximately 2 feet. They slowly began to trust that this was indeed a "toy" and began chewing on them and our golden retriever was tossing the snake up in the air and biting down on it as it fell to the ground. I also like the fact that the squeakers are a low volume and not so high pitched squeak! Well, long story short, they have now had the snakes for 6 days and they are still intact and the dogs absolutely love them!!!! I am so happy I finally found a dog toy that my dogs don't destroy!!! I will definitely be buying more!! Lainie Sammamish, Washington

A winning toy!
Color: No Stuffing Blue Eel, Color: No Stuffing Blue Eel
This is the best dog toy ever! I have a Cockapoo that is 8 years old but thinks she is 2. She chews up everything so I've gone thru a lot of dog toys. This toy has lasted 6 months - truly record breaking for her. It's become all raggy so time to get a new one. Thank you Nocciola for inventing a quality fun toy that lasts. Photo shows toy after 6 mo. of playing tug of war!

Winner of the aggressive chew competition
Color: No Stuffing Blue Eel
I bought several toys for an insane Jack Russell and this is the unlikely winner. It is a softer toy, but it is stitched together nicely and there are various components that distract the dog and keep him busy. First, it can be rolled up and stuck with small but strong Velcro patches, so it’s not just a sitting duck, the dog has to figure out how to unroll it which is fun. Next there are five little pockets on one side that you can put treats inside, which draw attention to the toy and give him another task. He did partially rip some of the flaps on the pockets in his zeal to get the treats. Then there is the squeaker, which he dispatched of in like 4 seconds (somehow without ripping the fabric(?)), then there are all sorts of crinkles and textures on both sides. All of this and the good stitching make it a toy he wants to play with but that he doesn’t annihilate in one day. The hard plastic toys are also good but I feel like I need to watch him carefully for fear that a sharp chunk will come off. The medium chew toys are cool but he’s just not into them. So this wins!

My dogs favorite toy!
Color: Blue & Yellow Eel Bundle
This is my Jack Chi and Yorkies favorite toys (it helps when they get 5 mini milk bones). It is a tough toy, but not impervious to a Jack Chi determination to remove all squeekiees! Squeekie or not, it's still their favorite toy for tug-a-war.
