Handcrafted Scandinavian Full Tang Skinner Knife

Designed for One Purpose | Perfect at It

This handcrafted skinner knife was built around a single task, processing game cleanly, precisely, and efficiently. Every design decision on this knife serves that purpose. The drop point blade with micro bevel edge. The deep finger groove rosewood handle. The lightweight 250 gram build. This is a knife that experienced hunters and skinners will recognise immediately as purpose-built and beginners will appreciate as the tool that makes field work genuinely manageable.
Also available with a black Micarta handle, mosaic pin and gold accent detail

The Blade — Drop Point with Micro Bevel Edge
The drop point is the undisputed first choice of hunters and skinners worldwide. The spine curves gently and continuously down to a strong, rounded tip giving you full control during skinning without the risk of a sharp fine tip accidentally puncturing organs or hide during field dressing.

What makes this blade particularly special for skinning is the micro bevel edge grind — a secondary tiny bevel applied at the very cutting edge after the primary grind. The micro bevel:

• Reinforces the cutting edge, making it significantly more durable under skinning pressure
• Creates a sharper, cleaner initial edge than a single bevel alone
• Extends the time between sharpenings during field use
• Makes resharpening easier and more consistent in the field

At 7 inches this blade is the ideal skinning length, long enough for efficient strokes on large game, compact enough for precise control around joints and detail areas.

Scandinavian Influence — Built for Outdoor Work
This knife draws clear inspiration from the Scandinavian camping and bushcraft knife tradition — a design philosophy that prioritises simplicity, functionality, and reliability above all else. Scandi-style knives are built around the idea that a knife should do its job perfectly without unnecessary complexity.

The result is a knife that:

• Excels at its primary purpose — skinning and field dressing game
• Handles camp tasks competently — food preparation, rope cutting, general outdoor work
• Is easy to maintain and resharpen in the field with basic tools
• Feels immediately natural and secure in the hand

The Steel — D2 Tool Grade for Skinning Work
For a dedicated skinner, edge retention is the most critical steel property. A blade that goes dull mid-task is a serious problem in the field. D2 tool steel addresses this directly.

With its high carbon and chromium composition, hardened to 58–60 HRC, D2 delivers:

• Outstanding edge longevity that holds through complete game processing tasks
• Wear resistance that keeps the micro bevel intact through sustained skinning work
• Reliable semi-stainless behaviour — far better corrosion resistance than plain carbon steel
• A steel that responds well to field touch-ups with a ceramic rod or leather strop

Basic care — wipe clean after use, store dry, oil occasionally keeps this blade performing at its best indefinitely.

Full Tang — Precision and Strength in One
The D2 steel extends the full length of this knife from blade tip through the finger groove handle to the butt. One unbroken piece of steel. On a dedicated skinner where precise hand control is everything, full tang construction provides the stability and feedback that a skilled user needs to feel what the blade is doing at all times.

The Handle — Natural Light Rosewood with Deep Finger Grooves
The handle on this knife is crafted from natural light rosewood — a pale, warm-grained wood with fine linear texture that is visually distinct from the darker rosewood used on our other knives. The lighter tone gives this knife a clean, natural appearance that suits its Scandinavian outdoor character.

Four deep finger grooves are carved into the underside of the handle locking each finger into a defined position that provides exceptional grip security during skinning tasks. When your hands are wet or bloodied in the field, these grooves keep the knife secure and under complete control.

Steel pins secure the handle scales firmly to the full tang throughout. The handle is sized generously at 7 inches providing a comfortable, fatigue-free grip during extended processing sessions.
