1095 Carbon Steel Cowboy Skinner Knife with Ram Horn Handle & Leather Sheath
Description & SpecificationsCraftsmanship, materials & dimensions
This 1095 carbon steel cowboy skinner knife pairs a classic western skinner profile with a natural ram horn handle and a polished steel bolster. At 6.5 inches overall with a 3-inch blade, it is a compact handmade fixed blade knife that rides comfortably on the belt in its hand-stitched leather sheath.
The short skinner blade is shaped for controlled, precise cuts, which makes it a practical choice for field dressing and skinning game, everyday ranch chores, camp tasks and general outdoor cutting. Collectors of western knives will also appreciate the traditional look of a horn-handled cowboy skinner that is made to be carried and used.
The blade is made from 1095 high carbon steel, a steel known for toughness, easy sharpening and dependable edge retention. In Rockwell hardness testing the blades typically measure approximately 58 HRC, a practical balance between holding a keen edge and resisting chipping. Each ram horn handle is individually selected and finished, so natural variations make every knife slightly different, while the ergonomic shape gives a secure, comfortable grip with balanced weight.
The included handmade genuine leather sheath is hand stitched for secure blade protection and easy carry; sheath artwork may vary from piece to piece. Whether you hunt, work cattle or simply want a reliable small fixed blade hunting knife for the outdoors, this ram horn skinner knife is built for regular use.
It also makes a memorable gift for hunters and cowboys, and a thoughtful Father's Day, birthday or Christmas gift for anyone who appreciates traditional western knives.
Because 1095 is a high carbon steel, clean and dry the blade after every use and apply a thin coat of knife oil, mineral oil or wax regularly. Store the knife in a dry, protected place. Intended for responsible adult use only; please check your local knife laws.
