WOLF
The Skinner
Damascus · Cocobolo · Veg-tan
$395
Short, curved, and light in the hand — the Skinner is meant for detail work where a full hunter is too much knife.
The cocobolo handle is dense and oily by nature, so it shrugs off blood and water and only deepens in color with use.
This exact blade has sold. A near-identical piece can be commissioned; lead time runs six to ten weeks.

Questions about the The Skinner
- What steel is the Skinner made from?
- The Skinner is forged from Hand-forged Damascus. The billet is folded and drawn by hand, then acid-etched so the layer pattern reads clearly across the blade.
- What is the handle on the Skinner made of?
- The handle is Cocobolo. Materials are stabilized where needed so they stay dimensionally stable through humidity and hard use.
- Is the Skinner available to buy?
- The Skinner has sold. Because every blade is forged one at a time, this exact piece will not be repeated, but a similar knife can be commissioned through a custom request.
- How big is the Skinner?
- Blade length is 3.25 in. Overall length is 7.25 in. Hand-forged dimensions vary slightly from piece to piece.
- Does the Skinner come with a sheath?
- Yes. It ships with a hand-stitched veg-tan leather, cut and stitched to fit this exact blade.
- What is the Skinner best used for?
- It is built for skinning, detail field work. The grind and balance are set up for that work rather than for display.
- How do I care for a Damascus blade like the Skinner?
- Wash and dry by hand immediately after use, never leave it wet or in a dishwasher, and keep a light coat of food-safe oil on the steel. Sharpen on whetstones at the original bevel angle and re-oil after honing to protect the etched pattern.
