Miniature Damascus Skinner Knife, 66mm Brass-Handled, with Leather Sheath
This compact skinner knife features a hand-forged Damascus steel blade with a distinct twist pattern. The blade is constructed from 512 layers of 1075 high-carbon and 4340 stainless steels, providing a durable edge with a Rockwell hardness of 55-58 HRC.
The solid brass handle offers a comfortable and balanced grip, making it suitable for detailed tasks. Its miniature size, just 66 mm overall, allows it to be carried discreetly. A custom-fitted leather sheath is included for protection. To maintain the blade, keep it dry and lightly oiled with vegetable or mineral oil after use.

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.
