This 8-inch Damascus skinning knife with a gut hook pairs a true 512-layer Damascus blade (1095 and 15N20 steel) with a striking red-white-blue American flag handle, finished with a star pin in the blue section and a silver bolster.

Specifications

Steel: Damascus, 512 layers (1095/15N20)
Overall length: 8 inches
Handle: Wood, bone & steel, American flag styling with star pin and silver bolster
Feature: Integrated gut hook on the spine
Includes: Basketweave brown leather sheath with belt slots

The gut hook on the spine lets you open the abdominal cavity during field dressing without puncturing the stomach or intestines, while the main skinner edge handles hide separation and general trimming. This is the Damascus-and-flag-handle version specifically — distinct from our J2 steel gut-hook listing and from the other handle colors in this collection.

Hand wash and dry the blade promptly after use, then apply a light coat of knife oil to protect the Damascus pattern. Skip the dishwasher, and keep the leather sheath dry rather than storing the knife wet inside it.

Frequently Asked Questions

The gut hook is the sharpened notch on the spine near the tip. It lets you open the abdominal cavity during field dressing without puncturing the stomach or intestines, a step that's harder to do cleanly with the main skinning edge alone.

It's a mixed-material build — wood, bone and steel layered into the red-white-blue flag pattern, finished with a star pin in the blue section and a silver bolster, not a single painted or printed piece.

This knife is forged from true 512-layer Damascus steel with the American flag handle; the J2 steel version uses a plain satin-finished J2/15N20 blade and a contoured wood handle instead. Both share the same gut hook function.

Yes — a handmade basketweave brown leather sheath with belt slots is included for carry and storage.
