Damascus Steel Skinner Knife — Moose Etching, Rosewood & Bone Handle, Burgundy Sheath

Damascus Steel Meets the Wild — A Skinner Built for the Field.

This handmade Damascus steel skinner knife carries a detail you won’t find on most blades: a moose silhouette etched directly into the Damascus pattern on the blade flat. The swirling layered Damascus steel surrounds the etching, making the moose appear to emerge from the pattern itself. The spine of the blade features wire cut jimping — a series of precise notches cut into the spine that provide a secure thumb grip during field dressing and skinning work. The two-tone handle pairs dark rosewood on the upper half with cream bone on the lower half, secured with brass dot rivets. The dark burgundy leather sheath with white chain-stitch stitching completes a knife built to carry, use, and display.

The Damascus Blade

The blade is hand forged from layered Damascus steel — multiple alloys folded and welded under heat and hammer until the layers create a swirling water-drop pattern unique to every blade. The moose silhouette is etched directly into the blade flat, surrounded by the swirling Damascus pattern. The spine of the blade features wire cut jimping — a row of precise notches cut into the top edge of the spine that give your thumb a secure, non-slip grip when applying pressure during field dressing. A functional detail that separates a working skinner from a display piece.

The Handle

The two-tone handle pairs dark rosewood on the upper half with cream bone on the lower half. Rosewood brings warm grain and a smooth, comfortable grip. Cream bone provides natural texture and visual contrast. Brass dot rivets secure both handle scales to the full tang. The combination of materials gives this knife a classic, premium look that holds up in the field.

The Sheath

The dark burgundy leather sheath is shaped to fit the drop-point skinner blade securely. White chain-stitch stitching runs along both edges. A clean, minimal design that lets the rich burgundy leather color speak for itself. Belt loop for easy field carry.
