Hand-forged skinning knife for field use

This Damascus Depot knife is built for hunters and outdoorsmen who need a reliable skinning tool. The full-tang construction runs the blade steel through the entire handle for maximum strength during heavy use. A 6.5 inch clip-point blade provides the control needed for precise skinning work. The package includes a thick leather sheath with a belt loop for carry.

Carbon steel care limits daily convenience

The 1095 and 15N20 high-carbon steel blend will rust if moisture sits on the blade. Leather sheaths absorb water, so the knife must not be stored in its sheath for long periods. After each use the blade needs cleaning and a coat of oil or cooking oil before being put away. WD-40 can remove surface rust if it appears.

200-layer Damascus at 56-58 HRC defines edge holding

The blade is forged from over 200 layers of high and low carbon steel, heat-treated to a hardness of 56 to 58 HRC. This hardness level determines how long the edge stays sharp during skinning tasks and how easily it can be touched up in the field. The twist-pattern Damascus is approximately 4 mm thick at the spine.

Questions about this item

How do I choose between the 11" overall and 6.5" blade lengths?

The 11" overall length includes the 6.5" full-tang clip-point blade plus a 4.5" handle, so the blade itself is 6.5" and the total tool is 11".

What does 56-58 HRC mean in actual use?

At 56-58 HRC the blade holds a keen edge for field dressing yet is tough enough to resist chipping on bone.

How does the 200-layer Damascus construction affect performance?

The blade is forged from 1095 and 15N20 steels folded into 200 layers, giving a twist pattern and a hard, wear-resistant edge.
