A circular thumb hole is punched through the blade near the spine — allowing the thumb to hook through the blade for a choked-up grip during precise skinning work. A small lanyard hole at the base of the spine allows for a wrist lanyard attachment. The handle is natural ram horn — genuine sheep horn with a smooth dark charcoal black surface, subtle natural grain, and a slightly curved profile that fits the hand naturally. Two small silver pin rivets secure the handle. The dark burgundy leather sheath is plain and clean — smooth leather with cream stitching along the edges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eComplete Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFeature\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand Forged Damascus Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Style\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCompact Drop-Point Skinner Fixed Blade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Finish\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBold High-Contrast Swirling Damascus Pattern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Feature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCircular Thumb Hole + Lanyard Hole at Spine Base\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 3.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 7.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 4 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNatural Ram Horn (Sheep Horn)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Feature\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSlightly Curved Profile + Two Silver Pin Rivets\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eConstruction\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFull Tang\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark Burgundy Leather with Cream Stitching\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 1 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eHunting \u0026amp; Field Dressing | Skinning \u0026amp; Game Processing | Outdoor \u0026amp; Camp Use | Knife Collecting | Gift for Him | Christmas Gift | Birthday Gift | Display \u0026amp; Wall Mounting | Ranch \u0026amp; Farm Use\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand forged Damascus steel compact drop-point skinner blade with bold swirling pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCircular thumb hole on blade for choked-up precision grip during skinning\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLanyard hole at spine base for wrist lanyard attachment\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNatural ram horn handle with smooth dark charcoal surface and slightly curved profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull tang construction for maximum strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDark burgundy leather sheath with clean cream stitching\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Damascus Blade\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blade is hand forged from layered Damascus steel — multiple alloys folded and welded under heat and hammer until the layers create a bold, high-contrast swirling pattern unique to every blade.

The smooth dark charcoal black surface has a subtle natural grain visible under light. The slightly curved profile of the horn follows the natural shape of the hand, providing a comfortable and secure grip. Two small silver pin rivets secure the handle to the full tang.
