Blade & Build

The Damascus Depot skinning knife has an overall length of 9.5 inches with a 4.5 inch full tang blade forged from 1095 and 15N20 steel. The twist pattern Damascus blade is approximately 4 mm thick and hardened to 56 to 58 HRC. The natural rose wood handle scale features a mosaic inlay, two silver pins and a lanyard hole secured by a brass bolster. It is supplied new with a thick cow hide leather sheath that includes a belt loop.

Care & Maintenance

High carbon Damascus steel requires routine attention to prevent rust. The supplier advises cleaning the blade after each use and applying oil or wax before storage. WD40 can remove surface rust if it appears. The leather sheath should not be used for long term storage because leather can absorb moisture and promote corrosion.

Included Extras

The bundled leather sheath adds a belt loop for carry on a standard belt up to a typical width. No additional accessories, sharpening tools or documentation are listed in the specifications.

Questions about this item

How do I mount the 9.5" knife on my belt using the included sheath?

Slide the belt through the leather loop on the back of the sheath until it sits snug against the bolster; the thick leather holds the knife upright without a snap.

What ongoing care does the 465-layer Damascus blade require?

Wash and dry the blade after each use, coat it lightly with cooking oil, and never store it long-term in the leather sheath because the leather traps moisture.

At what hardness does the 1095/15N20 steel start to chip under heavy skinning work?

The blade is hardened to 56–58 HRC; pushing through bone or frozen meat at that hardness can cause micro-chipping before the edge rolls.
