About Skinner Knife: The skinner knife or skinning knife is a professional tool for a skinner. Typically a skinner knife has a wide, short blade. The edge is strong and does not have much flexibility or spring. Skinning knives are more a hunting tool than a weapon. This handmade custom skinner knife has a blade length of 4 inches and a handles length is 4.50 inches. We use ram horn, black micarta, and brass on the handle.
