Ring Drover Damascus Skinner with Burl Wood Handle

The Ring Drover Damascus Skinner carries a steel ring at the handle's end. Drovers once used that ring to hang a knife from a belt or saddle. This build brings that same ring forward on a modern working blade. The ring itself shows the same Damascus pattern as the blade. It's a small detail that ties the whole knife together.

This skinner blade carries a genuine wood-grain Damascus pattern. Folded steel layers create that flow across the surface. A wide belly gives the blade real presence for skinning work. The handle uses burl wood in a deep, reddish brown tone. Grip grooves run across the wood for a sure hold.

This knife ships with a two-tone leather sheath and snap closure. The sheath carries a tooled texture across the front panel. Gold stitching runs the full seam for a lasting hold. It's a purpose-built skinner for hunters and collectors alike.

The History Behind This Ring Drover Damascus Skinner

Drover knives get their name from cattle drovers who moved herds long distances. Those workers needed a knife they could hang and reach fast. The ring at the handle's end made that possible. Damascus steel brings an even older tradition of folded, layered blades. Divine Knives brings both traditions together in this skinner.
