Damascus Skinning Knife with Gut Hook

This hand-forged Damascus steel knife features a full-tang construction and a 4.5 inch handle scaled in two-tone Dollar wood with brass bolsters. The 9 inch overall length and integrated gut hook suit hunters and field dressers who need a dedicated skinning tool. A thick leather sheath with a belt loop is included for carry.

Sustained Field Use

The twist-pattern blade is forged from 1095 and 15N20 high and low carbon steels at approximately 4 mm thickness, giving it the mass to hold an edge through extended processing sessions. Full-tang design prevents handle separation under heavy leverage when working through joints or tough hide. The mosaic pin and dual brass pins reinforce the scale attachment during repeated hard use.

Care and Handling

High-carbon Damascus steel will rust if moisture is trapped, so the knife must be cleaned, oiled and stored outside the leather sheath after each use. WD-40 can remove surface rust should it appear. The blade ships extremely sharp and is intended for buyers aged 18 or over who accept responsibility for safe handling.

Questions about this item

How much heat does the 1095 high-carbon Damascus blade generate during extended skinning sessions?

The knife produces no heat of its own; only friction from cutting creates warmth, and the 4.5" Dollar wood handle with brass bolster stays comfortable during long use.

What must I already own to keep the 1095 Damascus blade rust-free after each use?

You need cooking oil or wax for post-use coating, plus WD-40 for any accidental rust, and a dry storage spot outside the leather sheath to prevent moisture trapping.

Will the 9" full-tang gut-hook knife fit the same belt loop as my older 15" machete sheath?

The included leather sheath has its own belt-insert loop sized for this knife; it will not share a loop with a wider machete sheath, so plan separate belt space.
