This 10-inch Damascus skinning knife with a gut hook is built for hunters who want a useful gut hook without a blade finger-ring — a true 512-layer Damascus blade hardened to 58-60 HRC, paired with a deep-groove wood handle and a large red-and-gold mosaic pin.
Specifications
- Steel: Damascus, 512 layers (1095/15N20)
- Hardness: 58-60 HRC

This is the 10-inch mosaic-pin, deep-finger-groove model — distinct from the 9-inch finger-ring versions, the American flag handle, and the J2 steel gut-hook knife elsewhere in this collection. The Damascus guard and gut hook are both purpose-built for controlled field dressing.
Wipe the blade clean and dry after use, especially after contact with game or moisture, and apply a light coat of food-safe mineral oil before storage. Condition the leather sheath occasionally and never store the knife wet inside it.
