The handle is shaped to fit the hand and is fixed with a pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe blade is made of D2 steel, popular with knife makers for how long it keeps an edge. The black powder coat reduces glare and gives it a rugged finish. The skinner profile, with its broad, curved belly, makes long, smooth cuts when working a hide, and as a fixed blade knife it handles that work with more strength and control than a folder.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sheath is made of Italian leather with a basket-weave pattern pressed into the front. The finish shades from deep burgundy to dark brown, and the edges are hand-stitched. A strap with a brass snap holds the knife in place, and the sheath carries easily on a belt.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\" style=\"border-collapse: collapse;\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduct\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandmade Stag Horn Skinner Knife with Sheath\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnife Type\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixed Blade Knife, Skinner\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Steel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eD2 Tool Steel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBlade Finish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlack Powder Coat\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBolsters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePolished Brass\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHandle Scales\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eStag Horn\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSheath\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eItalian Leather, Basket-Weave Stamped, Burgundy and Brown Finish, Brass Snap\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHandmade\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBest For\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHunting, Skinning, Field Dressing, Camping, Collecting, Gifts\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Stag Horn for a Hunting Knife?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStag horn, also called antler, is a traditional handle material. Its natural texture gives a firm grip even when wet, and it ages well. Because it is a natural material, color and texture vary from one handle to the next, so no two knives look exactly alike.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Choose a Fixed Blade Knife?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA fixed blade knife has no moving parts, which makes it stronger, easier to clean and more reliable than a folding knife for hunting and outdoor tasks. That's why most hunters choose a fixed blade for skinning and field dressing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout D2 Steel\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD2 is a high-carbon, high-chromium tool steel. It keeps its edge for a long time and resists wear. Because it has less chromium than most stainless steels, dry the blade after use to avoid spots.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare Instructions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWash with warm water and mild soap, then dry right away.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not soak the handle or use a dishwasher.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDo not store the knife in the sheath for long periods.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition the leather now and then.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvoid abrasive pads on the powder coat.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is this knife used for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a fixed blade skinner knife for skinning game and general outdoor cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the blade made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD2 steel with a black powder coat finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is the handle made of?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eStag horn scales with brass bolsters.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it come with a sheath?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes.
