Skinning Knife 10 Inches Overall

This Damascus Depot skinning knife measures 10 inches overall with a 4.5 inch full tang blade forged from 1095 and 15N20 high and low carbon steel. The handle uses natural and blue camel bone scales secured by four silver pins and a Damascus bolster. A thick leather sheath with a belt loop is included for carry.

Sustained Field Performance

The approximately 4 mm thick twist pattern Damascus blade is built for repeated skinning tasks and holds an edge through extended use. Full tang construction distributes force along the entire handle length, reducing fatigue during long processing sessions. High carbon content demands immediate cleaning and oiling after each use to prevent rust from moisture or blood residue.

Pre Purchase Compatibility

Verify that a 9.5 inch overall tool with a fixed 4.5 inch blade fits your intended carry method and local blade length regulations. The leather sheath absorbs moisture, so the knife must be stored outside the sheath after cleaning and oiling. Buyers who need a folding design, stainless steel blade, or synthetic handle material should consider other options.

Questions about this item

How does the 4.5-inch Damascus blade hold up to heat and moisture during long field-dressing sessions?

The 4.5-inch full-tang blade is forged from 1095 and 15N20 high-carbon steel folded into over 200 layers. High carbon content means it will rust if left wet, so wipe the blade dry after each use and apply a light coat of oil before storing it outside the leather sheath.

What must I already have to use this 10-inch skinning knife safely and effectively?

You need a sturdy belt up to roughly 40 mm wide to accept the sheath's belt loop, a clean cloth for wiping the blade, and food-grade oil or wax for post-use protection. The knife arrives razor-sharp, so cut-resistant gloves are advisable until you are comfortable with the edge.

Will the camel-bone handle and Damascus bolster withstand the same heavy use as my older full-tang carbon-steel knives?

Yes. The 10-inch overall length and 4 mm thick full-tang construction mirror traditional heavy-duty skinning knives, while the camel-bone scales pinned with four silver rivets and a Damascus bolster add structural rigidity comparable to older all-steel models.
