Old-World Craftsmanship Meets Surgical Field-Dressing Performance
Hand-forged from high-carbon Damascus steel (1095 & 15N20 | 58-60 HRC), this specialized 9" skinning knife combines an integrated spine guthook with a sweeping deep-bellied blade. Outfitted with an authentic bark-textured staghorn handle, a solid polished brass finger guard and pommel cap, and a custom hand-stitched genuine leather belt sheath, it delivers dual-zone game processing power, slip-resistant control, and timeless frontier utility.

💥 Why This Knife Stands Out
Integrated Dual-Zone Processing Geometry: Precision-ground spine guthook enables clean unzipping cuts through hide without puncturing, while the exaggerated lower belly excels at swift, drag-free skinning passes.
Authentic Bark-Textured Staghorn Grip: Naturally ridged deer antler handle provides an unyielding, slip-resistant hold in wet or freezing environments, shielded by a protective solid brass finger guard.
Hand-Forged Damascus Edge Retaining Power: High-carbon forged steel layers create a microscopic toothy cutting edge that slices through dense fat, tissue, and heavy hides without losing its bite under pressure.
