Cut Knife is a town in the Canadian province of Saskatchewan on Highway 40, northwest of Saskatoon and 55 km (34 mi) west of North Battleford.

The hill was named after a Sarcee chief killed nearby by the Cree in the 1840s.

[4][5] The town is close to the site of the Battle of Cut Knife which occurred during the North-West Rebellion of 1885.

[6] At Cut Knife is the "World's Largest Tomahawk", the Poundmaker Historical Centre and the Big Bear monument.

There is also now, correctly located, a cairn erected by the Historic Sites and Monuments Board of Canada upon Cut Knife Hill overlooking the Poundmaker Battle site and Battle River valley.
