Damascus Skinning Knife 9.25

This hand-forged Damascus steel knife features a full-tang drop-point blade designed for hunting and skinning tasks. The 4.75-inch blade is crafted from 1095 and 15N20 high and low carbon steel twisted into a distinctive pattern. It is intended for responsible buyers aged 18 and over.

Sustained Edge Retention and Care

The high-carbon Damascus steel holds a sharp edge through extended field dressing sessions but requires diligent maintenance to prevent rust. Users must clean and oil the blade after each use, avoiding long-term storage in the leather sheath which can trap moisture. WD-40 can remove accidental surface oxidation.

Buffalo Horn Handle and Leather Sheath

The 4.50-inch handle uses buffalo horn scales with a Damascus bolster, red fiber spacer, brass spacer, two silver pins, and a mosaic pin for a secure grip. The full-tang construction runs the entire handle length for maximum durability. A thick cow leather sheath with a belt loop allows convenient carry on a belt.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 1095 high-carbon blade generate during all-day skinning?

The steel itself produces no heat; only friction from cutting warms the edge, and the 4 mm thickness dissipates it quickly.

What must I already own to use this 9.25" full-tang knife safely?

A sturdy belt for the leather sheath’s loop, plus oil or wax and a cloth for post-use care to prevent rust on the 1095/15N20 steel.

Will the 4.50" buffalo-horn handle feel familiar if I keep using my older synthetic-grip knives?

The horn scales with brass spacer and mosaic pin give a different balance and texture, but the full-tang construction keeps the grip secure like your current knives.
