This is a compact, full-tang skinning dagger — 8.5 inches overall with a 4.25-inch Damascus steel blade, built for the kind of precise, controlled work skinning actually requires. The bone handle is left with its natural color variation rather than dyed uniform, so no two knives look quite the same.
The Damascus Pattern
Each blade is hand-forged from layered Damascus steel, which means the wave pattern you see is a genuine byproduct of the forging process, not etched on afterward. Beyond the look, the layered steel construction gives the edge real durability — it holds up to repeated use without the blade becoming brittle.
Built for Skinning, Not Just Display
At 4.25 inches, the blade is sized for control rather than raw length — skinning work rewards precision over reach. The full-tang construction means the blade and handle are one continuous piece of steel rather than a tang pinned into a hollow grip, which matters for balance and for how the knife holds up over years of use. It sits alongside the rest of our handmade damascus skinner knives — worth a look if you want to compare blade shapes and handle materials side by side.
What’s Included
Every knife ships with a leather sheath sized to the blade, with belt-carry in mind for field use. Comparing your options? Our Damascus Dagger Knife with Sheath carries the same blade with a carry-focused sheath as the main feature.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this knife actually functional, or mainly a display piece? It’s built for real use — full tang construction and a genuinely sharp Damascus edge, sized specifically for skinning and field tasks.
Will the bone handle hold up to regular use? Yes, with basic care — avoid prolonged soaking and dry it promptly if it gets wet, similar to how you’d treat any natural-material handle.
Does it come with a sheath? Yes, a leather sheath is included with every knife.
Will the Damascus blade need special maintenance? Wipe it dry after use and apply a light coat of oil periodically to prevent rust, same as any high-carbon steel blade.
