8 Inch Horse Rasp Steel Skinner Knife with Stone Handle, Steel Bolster & Cross-Draw Sheath
Description & SpecificationsCraftsmanship, materials & dimensions
This 8 inch horse rasp skinner knife is the full-size option in our western skinner range, pairing a 4-inch horse rasp steel blade with a stone handle and steel bolster and a handmade cross-draw leather sheath with hand stitching and decorative artwork. Each knife is individually handmade, so every piece carries its own handcrafted character.
The skinner profile offers a long, curved edge for skinning and processing larger game, ranch work, camp chores and general outdoor cutting. With a full 4-inch handle, this full size cowboy skinner knife fills the hand for a confident grip, and the cross-draw sheath keeps it comfortable to wear and easy to reach on the belt.
The horse rasp steel blade is designed for dependable cutting performance, strength, durability and edge retention. The stone handle is contoured for a secure, comfortable hold, its distinctive stone-style finish setting it apart from wood and resin handled knives, while the steel bolster adds balance and a clean, solid transition to the blade. Minor variations in finish are part of the handmade character of each knife.
It is well suited to hunters who want a larger skinner for bigger game, ranchers and farm hands who need a capable working knife, and collectors of stone handle western knives.
This handsome skinner makes a standout gift for cowboys and hunters, and a classic Christmas or Father's Day gift for anyone who appreciates a real ranch knife.
To keep it at its best, clean and dry the blade after every use, apply a thin layer of knife oil or mineral oil to the exposed steel as needed, and store the knife in a dry, protected place away from children.
