SHEFFIELD MFG.® INTRODUCES THE RHINO™ – SPORTSMAN KNIFE THAT SKINS LARGE GAME AND ALLOWS FOR QUICK BLADE CHANGES

MINEOLA , NY , Jan. 29, 2007 – Hunting without the proper skinning knife is like clearing a jungle path with a toothpick – don't expect to get the job done fast or right. One encounter with the Rhino™ Folding Lockback® Sportsman Knife from Sheffield Mfg.® is all it will take for hunters who take big game seriously. This new addition to the best-selling line of knives and multipurpose tools from Sheffield Mfg. officially debuted at SHOT 2007 and can be viewed at www.sheffield-tools.com .

Engineered as the ultimate skinning tool, the Rhino's blade is designed to act like a fixed skinning blade that users don't have to sharpen. Once the blade becomes dull, Sheffield 's patented quick-change blade mechanism allows users to easily and safely replace the blade right there in the field in just seconds. Up to six blades are conveniently stored in the knife's handle compartment.

A formidable knife that won't let even the most adventurous hunter down, the Rhino is designed with a textured, lightweight ABS handle and thumb rest to reduce hand fatigue after prolonged use. The knife weighs a mere 6 ounces, stands at 7 ½” inches when fully extended, folds down to 4 ½” and includes a pocket clip. The manufacturer's suggested retail price for the Rhino is $19.99.

“There is nothing else like the Rhino currently available to hunters,” said Steve Maltese, Vice President E-Commerce & Public Relations for Sheffield Mfg. “This knife was purposely designed to fill a void in the market and offers users a precision tool to perform an expert job and do so with finesse.”

Like all Sheffield products, the Rhino Folding Lockback Sportsman Knife is a high quality, competitively priced product that comes with a limited lifetime warranty and is available at www.sportsmanguide.com and fine sporting goods stores everywhere.
