Handmade Western Skinner Knife – 8 Inch Horse Rasp Steel Blade with Stone Grip & Steel Bolster
Description & SpecificationsCraftsmanship, materials & dimensions
Built around a traditional frontier silhouette, this handmade western skinner knife combines an 8 inch overall frame, a horse rasp steel fixed blade and a stone handle set behind a solid steel bolster. It arrives in a hand-stitched genuine leather cross-draw sheath finished with decorative artwork that suits the knife's old-west character.
Skinner knives are a favourite with hunters because the gently curved edge makes it easier to separate hide from meat with controlled, even strokes. The same profile is just as handy for camp cooking, cutting cord and general ranch tasks, which makes this a practical fixed blade hunting knife for the field, the barn or the trail.
The 4 inch horse rasp steel blade is designed for strength, durability and reliable edge holding, and the 4 inch stone grip is shaped for a secure, balanced hold. Because every knife is made by hand, small variations in finish are part of its character, so no two look exactly alike.
Whether you work cattle, hunt each season or simply appreciate a well-made western knife, this skinner earns its place on the belt. It also makes a thoughtful gift for hunters and ranchers, and a standout Christmas gift for the outdoorsman who has everything.
Care is simple: wipe the blade clean and dry after use, apply a light coat of mineral oil, knife oil or wax to the exposed steel, and store the knife somewhere dry and safely away from children. Buyers are responsible for following local knife laws.
