Forged D2 Steel Skinner Knife, 114mm Textured Blade, with Green Pakkawood Handle and Sheath
A robust, general-purpose fixed-blade knife, forged from D2 tool steel. The 114 mm (4.5-inch) blade features a distinct textured finish from the forging process and is ground to a skinner profile, offering a large cutting belly for controlled slicing. The steel is hardened to 55-58 HRC, providing a durable edge that resists wear during demanding tasks.
The full-tang construction ensures structural integrity, balanced by a contoured handle made from resilient green Pakkawood. The handle scales are securely fastened with silver-coloured pins, offering a comfortable and confident grip. A fitted leather sheath is included for safe handling and carry.
Primarily designed for outdoor and field-dressing applications, its durable construction also makes it a capable utility knife for various workshop, craft, or camping 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.
