Most knives in this size range use a 3mm blade stock. This one’s built with a 4mm blade — noticeably more substantial in the hand, with a bit more weight behind the edge for tasks that call for it. The 8.25-inch overall length and 4.25-inch blade keep the same working dimensions as the rest of the collection; what’s different here is how much steel is actually behind that edge.
The Blade
Hand-forged from 1095 and 15N20 steel into a twist Damascus pattern, hardened to 58-60 HRC. The added thickness doesn’t change the hardness or edge quality — it changes how the knife feels and performs under harder use, giving it a bit more resistance to flex than a thinner blade would have.
The Handle
Bone handle in white and brown tones, secured with steel pins and file work along the spine. It’s a more understated color palette than some of the other 8-inch skinners in the collection — natural tones rather than bold color combinations.
Built for Regular Use
At 170 grams with a half-tang construction, it ships with a brown leather sheath built with belt space for carry. If a more decorative mosaic-pin handle or a bolder color is what you’re after, our Damascus Skinner Knife covers that instead — or browse the rest of our handmade damascus skinner knives.
