It measures 9 inches overall with a curved skinner belly, a mirror-polished carbon steel blade, and a steel bolster for a premium look. The white ram horn handle adds a striking, natural contrast and a secure grip.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis knife suits hunters, outdoor users, and collectors who value reliable steel and handmade detail. Because each blade is hand-forged, small differences in the blade and horn grain give every piece its own character.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe skinner knife was shaped over generations as a specialist hunting tool, with a deep, curved belly built to glide under a hide for long, clean cuts. Trappers and hunters valued control and a keen edge above all, since clean hide work protects the value of the game. Carbon steel became a favorite for these blades because it takes an exceptionally sharp edge and is easy to resharpen in the field, needing only light oiling to stay rust-free. This handmade skinner carries that working heritage forward, pairing a proven hunting shape with high carbon steel and a bright white ram horn handle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eExplore more in our \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jwsteelcrafts.com\/collections\/handmade-skinner-knives\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eSkinner Knives\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e range and the handmade \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.jwsteelcrafts.com\/collections\/custom-handmade-hunting-knives\/products\/handmade-skinner-knife-stainless-steel-deer-horn-handle\" style=\"color: rgb(255, 128, 0);\"\u003eSkinner Knife with Deer Horn Handle\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOverall Length: 9 inches\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade Material: Carbon steel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade Finish: Mirror polished\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBolster: Steel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHandle: White ram horn\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBlade Type: Skinner\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUse: Hunting, skinning, and field dressing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBrand: JW SteelCrafts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFEATURES AS BENEFITS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCarbon steel blade\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Takes an exceptionally sharp edge and resharpens easily.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eCurved Skinner belly\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Makes clean, controlled cuts for hide work.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eMirror-polished finish\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Adds a premium, refined look.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eSteel bolster\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Improves balance and a finished feel.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eWhite ram horn handle\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Gives a striking, natural look and secure grip.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eHand-forged build\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e – Makes each knife one of a kind.\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCARE INSTRUCTIONS\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWipe the blade clean and dry after every use.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eApply a light coat of oil to the carbon steel.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eKeep it away from long moisture exposure.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eClean and lightly oil the ram horn handle.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cspan\u003eStore it dry, out of a damp sheath.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAdd this handcrafted Carbon Steel Skinner Knife to your cart today.
