Skinner knives earned their trusted reputation from hunters who needed controlled cuts around hides and joints without risking damage to the meat. The Timberline Damascus Skinner continues that same practical design as every Damascus Skinner Knife we forge today. Natural wood handles have long been valued in traditional knife making for their density and warm, classic look.

Hand-forged Damascus steel adds real forging tradition to this design, with each blade carrying its own distinct wave pattern once folded and etched.

Introduction

If you want a skinner knife with real field capability, the Timberline Damascus Skinner Knife delivers exactly that.

As a Timberline Hunting Blade, it holds an edge well through repeated hunting season use. The natural wood handle offers a warm, secure grip that holds up well to regular field use. As a Forged Skinning Knife, it includes a toled leather sheath for safe storage and easy carry.

At 4 inches, the blade is sized for controlled skinning and field dressing tasks. Full construction runs through the entire 4 inch handle for solid balance.

The Timberline Damascus Skinner works well as a Field Dressing Knife for hunting, skinning, and general field dressing tasks.
