Damascus Steel Skinner Knife — Walnut Handle, Brass Star Rivet & Leather Sheath

Damascus Steel Skinner with a Handle Worth Holding.

This handmade Damascus steel skinner knife is built around a drop-point blade forged from layered Damascus steel — multiple alloys folded and welded under heat and hammer until the layers create a swirling wave pattern unique to every blade. The dark walnut handle scales are shaped with a finger groove contour that locks the hand in a natural, secure grip position. Brass dot rivets secure the handle scales to the full tang, and a decorative brass star medallion rivet adds a distinctive collector detail to the handle. The dark brown leather sheath features three horizontal belt loop slots and copper brass snap rivets for secure carry in the field.

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 wave pattern unique to every blade. The drop-point skinner profile gives the blade a wide belly for field dressing and skinning, with a controlled tip that reduces the risk of puncturing organs during field dressing. No two Damascus blades are identical.

The Handle

The dark walnut handle scales are shaped with a finger groove contour — a curved indent that positions the index finger naturally and locks the hand in a secure grip during field use. The warm brown walnut grain is smooth and sealed. Brass dot rivets secure the handle scales to the full tang. The decorative brass star medallion rivet is set into the handle as a collector detail — a small but distinctive feature that sets this knife apart from standard field knives.

The Sheath

The dark brown leather sheath is shaped to fit the drop-point skinner blade securely. Three horizontal belt loop slots allow the sheath to be mounted in multiple carry positions. Copper brass snap rivets secure the sheath straps. A practical, well-built sheath for a working field knife.

• Apply mineral oil to the Damascus blade regularly to maintain the pattern
