Antler Ridge Skinner Knife 8" Handmade Damascus Stag Horn Handle

Skinner knives earned their trusted reputation from hunters who needed controlled cuts around hides and joints without risking damage to the meat. The Antler Ridge Skinner continues that same practical design as every Antler Skinner Knife we forge today. Stag horn handles carry their own history in traditional knife making, valued for natural strength and texture that varies from piece to piece.

Hand forged Damascus steel adds real forging tradition to this design, with each blade carrying its own distinct wave pattern once folded and etched.

Antler Ridge Skinner Blade

This Game Processing Knife is hand forged from genuine Damascus steel, giving it both strength and a distinct wave pattern unique to each piece. At 4 inches, the blade is sized for controlled skinning and field dressing tasks. Full construction runs through the entire 4 inch handle for solid balance.

The Antler Ridge Skinner works well as a Field Dressing Blade for hunting, skinning, and general field dressing tasks. Clean and dry the blade after each use to prevent rust from forming on the Damascus pattern. Store it in the tooled leather sheath when not in use, and keep it away from children.
