At 6.5 inches overall, it carries easily and works hard.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 1rem;\"\u003eSkinner Knife · Field Dressing Knife · Outdoor Knife · Camping Knife · Ranch Knife · Collector Knife · Gift for Him\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eComplete Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHand Forged Raindrop Damascus Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGenuine Ram Horn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBolster\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlade Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 3 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOverall Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 6.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandle Length\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 3.5 inches\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardness\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 58-60 HRC\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTang\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\u003eGenuine Leather Sheath Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eApprox. 4-5 oz\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand forged raindrop Damascus steel blade with deep etched pattern\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenuine ram horn handle — each piece unique in color and grain\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolished steel bolster for balance and durability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull tang construction for strength through the handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact 6.5\" overall length — easy to carry in the field\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComes with a genuine leather sheath\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade one at a time — no two knives are identical\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eHandle Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe handle is shaped from genuine ram horn — a natural material known for its dense grain, warm tones, and comfortable grip. Ram horn darkens and develops character with use, making every knife handle one of a kind. The polished steel bolster sits between blade and handle, adding weight forward and a clean visual break between materials. Brass pins secure the full tang firmly through the handle scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBlade Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is hand forged from layered Damascus steel in a raindrop pattern — formed by manipulating the steel during the forging process to create circular, flowing designs across the surface. The blade is ground into a classic skinner profile: a wide belly for field dressing, a controlled tip, and a spine thick enough to handle real work. The edge is hand sharpened and ready to use straight from the sheath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eKnife Care Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand wash only — never put in dishwasher\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDry immediately after contact with moisture\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil to the blade every few months\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStore in the leather sheath when not in use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition the leather sheath occasionally with leather conditioner\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeep away from prolonged humidity to prevent rust\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eExplore More Handmade Knives\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hsknivesstore.com\/collections\/skinner-knives\"\u003eSkinner Knives Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hsknivesstore.com\/collections\/hunting-knives\"\u003eHunting Knives Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hsknivesstore.com\/collections\/bowie-knives\"\u003eBowie Knives Collection\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hsknivesstore.com\/products\/damascus-skinner-knife-antler-crown-handle-steel-bolster\"\u003eDamascus Skinner Knife — Antler Crown Handle \u0026amp; Steel Bolster\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/hsknivesstore.com\/products\/damascus-hunting-skinner-knife-micarta-handle-hs-358\"\u003eDamascus Skinner Knife – Micarta Handle | HS-358\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Does this knife come with a sheath?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes — every knife ships with a genuine leather sheath included at no extra cost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the ram horn handle slippery when wet?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRam horn has a naturally textured surface that provides a secure grip even in wet or cold conditions.
