A Skinner knife is a specialized hunting tool designed for skinning and processing game. It features a short, curved blade, typically 3-5 inches long, with a sharp, upswept edge ideal for precise cuts through hide and flesh.
The blade, often made of high-carbon or stainless steel, ensures durability and easy sharpening. Its ergonomic handle, commonly wood, bone, or synthetic, provides a secure grip for detailed work. The knife’s design minimizes waste and maximizes efficiency, making it a favorite among hunters. Some models include a gut hook for easier field dressing, enhancing versatility in outdoor tasks.
