D2 Steel Skinner Knife with Textured 4.5-inch Blade, Pakkawood Handle and Leather Sheath
This fixed-blade skinner is forged from D2 tool steel, a material valued for its high wear resistance and ability to hold a sharp edge. The 4.5-inch blade features a distinct textured finish from the forging process and is hardened to a reliable 55-58 HRC.
The full-tang construction ensures the knife is robust and well-balanced. It is fitted with a contoured Pakkawood handle, securely fastened with silver-coloured pins, which provides a comfortable and confident grip for precise tasks.
A custom-fit leather sheath is included for protection when not in use. This knife is well-suited for field dressing, general camp utility, and various outdoor cutting tasks.

Before you order
Age 18+ only. By placing this order you confirm you are 18 or over. The courier will request photo ID at delivery and return the parcel if no eligible adult is available.
Carrying in public. Under section 139 of the Criminal Justice Act 1988 (with equivalents in Scotland and Northern Ireland), it is an offence to have any bladed or sharply pointed article in a public place without good reason or lawful authority. Carry your purchase only when transporting it directly to and from a workplace, workshop, fieldcraft course, hunting estate, or other lawful use.
Use. This is a sharp working tool, not a weapon. Cut away from the body, keep fingers behind the edge, sheathe before storing, and keep out of reach of children.
Care. Wipe dry after every use and apply a thin film of mineral or camellia oil to prevent rust — high-carbon and Damascus steels will spot or patina if left damp.
