This 10-inch Damascus skinning knife with a gut hook combines a true 512-layer Damascus blade with a two-tone wood handle — dark grey near the bolster transitioning into warm brown — set off by a brass bolster that doubles as a finger guard.

Specifications

The brass bolster and finger guard are what set this 10-inch model apart from our other gut-hook skinners: it's a different configuration from the mosaic-pin-only 10-inch model, giving extra hand protection during heavier field-dressing work.

Wipe the blade clean and dry after every use, especially after contact with moisture or game, and apply a light coat of food-safe or knife-safe oil before storage. Keep the leather sheath dry and let it air-dry naturally if it gets wet.
