7.25" Damascus Steel Skinning Knife – Fixed Blade Skinner with Rosewood & Horn

Traditional multi-material artistry meets the tight visual depth of pattern-welded metallurgy. The NDY Artisan Series 7.25" Damascus Steel Skinner is a premium fixed blade engineered for wilderness guides, outdoor trackers, and collectors of fine custom cutlery. The hand-forged Damascus steel blade features an agile drop-point skinning profile highlighted by a high-contrast ripple pattern and a clean plunge line. The full-tang handle utilizes a masterfully segmented scale design, pairing jet-black polished bull horn forward bolster sections with rich, warm natural rosewood grips, separated by a crimson structural spacer band. Secured by an ornate red-accented brass mosaic pin, silver alignment hardware, and a brass lanyard tube, this high-balance utility tool delivers incredible precision and control.

💥 Why This Damascus Wood & Horn Skinner Stands Out

• Agile Slicing Profile: The compact 7.25" overall footprint brings your hand closer to the cutting edge. Combined with the sweeping belly profile, this layout gives you maximum dexterity and leverage for precise, drag-free slicing sweeps.

• Rosewood & Polished Bull Horn Fusion: The handle seamlessly joins two distinct organic materials. The high-polish black bull horn provides a dense, moisture-resistant forward grip, flowing via a vibrant crimson accent band into warm, dark-grained rosewood pommel scales.

• Intricate Red Mosaic Pin: The rosewood section is anchored by an ornate brass mosaic pin packed with delicate geometric rods centered in a striking red resin core, serving as a signature custom hallmark.

📖 Care & Maintenance Guide

• Clean & Dry: Hand-wash your knife immediately after camp or field tasks with warm water and mild dish soap using a soft sponge. Dry both the steel and handle surfaces thoroughly with a towel (never leave it submerged or place it in a dishwasher).

• Protect the Damascus Layers: Damascus steel is forged from high-carbon alloys; to maintain its crisp visual contrast and prevent environmental oxidation, apply a thin pass of food-grade mineral oil or premium blade wax across the blade face before long-term storage.

• Nourish the Wood & Natural Horn: Keep the natural rosewood scales vibrant and prevent the dense bull horn from drying out by occasionally wiping the handle assembly down with a small drop of mineral oil or wood conditioner.
