This 10-inch J2 steel skinning knife with a gut hook is built as a working field tool rather than a display piece — a satin-finished J2 blade, layered with 15N20, presented without a Damascus pattern for a plain, high-performance working edge.

Specifications

Steel: J2 steel, layered with 15N20
Overall length: 10 inches
Tang: Full tang
Handle: Contoured wood with finger grooves and brass pins
Includes: Tooled leather sheath with snap closure

The integrated gut hook on the spine helps open hide cleanly during field dressing, while the main edge handles skinning, trimming and detail work. Full-tang construction runs through the contoured, finger-grooved handle for a steady grip during repeated use in the field.

Wipe the J2 blade clean and dry after every use, especially after contact with moisture, and apply a thin coat of knife oil before storage. Keep the leather sheath dry and avoid storing the knife wet inside it.

Frequently Asked Questions

J2 is a high-performance working steel rather than a pattern-welded Damascus blade — it won't show a layered pattern, but it's chosen here specifically for dependable field performance, and it's typically easier and cheaper to maintain than Damascus.

It's the sharpened notch on the spine, used to open the abdominal cavity during field dressing without puncturing the stomach or intestines — a job the main skinning edge alone can't do as cleanly.

It's forged from J2 steel layered with 15N20 and finished in a plain satin polish rather than etched to reveal a pattern — this is our working-steel gut hook option, alongside the patterned Damascus gut hook skinners in the same collection.

The knife measures approximately 10 inches overall, with a contoured wood handle shaped with finger grooves for grip during field use.
