Key Features of the Black D2 Steel Skinner Knife

• D2 tool steel blade: known for excellent edge retention and wear resistance, shaped as a skinner with a broad, curved belly and a strong point.
• Black powder coat finish: a matte black coating that cuts reflection in the field and gives the blade a clean tactical look.
• Red and black resin scales: deep red swirls through black, so each knife has its own pattern and a solid, comfortable grip.
• Brass bolsters: add strength and a warm gold contrast against the dark blade.
• Genuine leather sheath: black Italian leather with a basket-weave stamped front, gold-tone stitching, a belt loop, and a brass snap strap for secure carry and safe storage.
• Custom handmade: shaped, assembled, and finished by hand, with personalized engraving available.

Product Description

Hunters often prefer a dark blade because it doesn't flash in the light, and this steel skinner knife follows that idea. The black powder coat gives the D2 tool steel blade a flat, non-reflective surface, while the long curved edge and solid tip are made for smooth skinning cuts and other general outdoor tasks. Thanks to the excellent edge retention of D2 steel, the edge stays sharp through more work before it needs touching up.

The handle is where the knife gets its character. The red and black resin scales flow together in a marbled swirl, fixed with a pin and meeting polished brass bolsters at the front. Shaped to fill the hand, they give a solid, comfortable grip during long sessions in the field, giving this D2 steel skinner a dependable feel for skinning, hunting, and everyday field use.

Genuine Leather Sheath for Safe Storage

The leather sheath is made of black Italian genuine leather. The front has a basket-weave design, the edge is sewn with gold-tone stitching that matches the brass snap, and a strap holds the knife firmly in place. It protects the blade, keeps the knife secure on your belt, and provides safe storage between trips.

Specifications

Why Choose a Powder Coated Blade?

Powder coating bonds a layer of color to the steel. On a hunting knife it reduces glare and adds a protective layer over the metal. Like any coating, it can wear at the edge and along the spine with heavy use, which is normal and gives the knife a worn-in look over time.

About D2 Tool Steel

D2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel. Its excellent edge retention and wear resistance make handmade D2 steel a strong choice for a knife that sees regular outdoor use. It has less chromium than most stainless steels, so dry it after use to avoid spots.

Care Instructions

• Wash with warm water and mild soap, then dry right away.
• Do not soak the handle or use a dishwasher.
• Don't leave the knife in the leather sheath for long periods while damp; use the sheath for safe storage only once the blade is fully dry.
• Condition the leather now and then.
• Avoid abrasive pads on the powder coat.
