Hand-Forged D2 Steel Skinner Knife with Red Pakkawood Handle and Leather Sheath

A robust, hand-forged skinner knife crafted from D2 tool steel. The blade's high carbon and chromium content provides excellent hardness and wear resistance, while the full tang construction ensures strength and balance. The blade flats feature a unique, forged texture, contrasting with the clean-ground bevels.

The handle is shaped from durable red pakkawood, a resin-impregnated wood composite known for its stability and resistance to moisture. It is comfortably contoured and fixed with silver-coloured pins. A custom-fit leather sheath is included for protection.

Suited for general workshop cutting, outdoor utility tasks, leatherwork, and as a dependable camp knife.

Specifications

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.
