The NDY Artisan Series 8\" High Carbon Steel Ring Skinner is a heavy-duty fixed blade custom-engineered for backcountry outfitters, game trackers, and collectors of unique custom cutlery. The high-carbon steel blade features a wide, sweeping drop-point skinning profile, finished with a rustic two-tone layout that contrasts dark, heat-treated forge flats against precision-ground satin primary and swedge bevels. The full-tang handle is scaled with high-density laminated yellow-and-black pakkawood scales contoured with tactile wave grooves for an ultra-secure grip. Anchored by flush structural pins and an integrated polished finger ring pommel, this agile field skinner provides maximum retention and leverage in any outdoor environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003e🎯 Key Specifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"5\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eOverall Length:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.0 inches – Optimized, highly maneuverable footprint for precision field dressing\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eBlade Details:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.0\" | Forged High-Carbon Steel | Two-Tone Blackened Forge Finish\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eEdge Geometry:\u003c\/b\u003e Precision flat-ground sweeping skinner belly with an agile top swedge grind\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHandle Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e High-density yellow \u0026amp; charcoal laminated pakkawood scales over a solid full tang\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,4,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eHardware:\u003c\/b\u003e Flush-fit structural alignment pins and an integrated pommel finger ring\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"5,5,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"5,5,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eSheath Included:\u003c\/b\u003e Premium stamped brown leather sheath featuring an integrated belt tracking loop\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"7\"\u003e💥 Why This High Carbon Pakkawood Ring Skinner Stands Out\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul data-path-to-node=\"8\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"8,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eIntegrated Finger Loop Retention:\u003c\/b\u003e The continuous full-tang steel backbone extends into a smooth, polished finger ring pommel.
