Our handmade forged Damascus steel skinning knife, gut hook hunting skinner knife with stag horn handle, is a masterpiece of rugged resilience and beauty. Hunt Craft Knives is proud to create the skinner knife, specifically designed for hunting. It is produced from 512 layers of stainless and high-carbon steel to provide razor-sharp cuts and strength. It features a stag horn handle for a firm grip, making it ideal for experienced hunters, skinners, avid collectors, and campers. The style and design of this knife complement its beauty and versatility. This Skinner knife delivers excellence where it matters most—on the hunt, at the camp, or in your collection.
Its blade is hand-forged beautifully with Damascus pattern layers. The blade is crafted from 1095 and 15N20 steel to ensure precision and sharpness in cutting and hunting applications. With a Rockwell hardness of 55–60 HRC, these hunting knives guarantee clean cuts, long-lasting sharpness, and durability. Delicate file work gives the spine an artistic touch, blending beauty with raw strength. From hunting to bushcraft activities and skinning, this Damascus skinner knife is designed to outlast and excel.
Made from stag horn and high-quality steel rivets, the handle offers an ergonomic grip with a textured finish. This knife has a unique handle, offering an appealing and aesthetically pleasing look. Meticulously balanced for control, this grip provides precision in each slice regardless of the task.
Each aspect of this Skinner knife is crafted by hand, from the Damascus steel blade to the stag horn handle, resulting in a knife that's both functional and valuable. Unlike mass-produced skinning knives, this knife is crafted with ancient skill and high-quality material, giving you an edge to leverage strength, sharpness, and durability.
Keep your skinning blade enclosed in a high-quality, hand-stitched leather sheath designed for vertical or horizontal belt carry. Field-tested for toughness and designed to fit belts up to 1.5 inches wide, it's ideal for hunters, hikers, or outdoorsmen on the go. Because it's handmade, the sheath color and pattern may differ slightly from the photos, making your piece even more unique.

Quality & Craftsmanship
At Hunt Craft Knives, quality is something we take seriously. Every knife we offer is built with attention to detail, using durable materials and a hands-on approach that reflects true craftsmanship.
Our blades are made from high-quality Damascus steel, known for its strength, sharpness, and distinctive pattern. Each knife is carefully finished to ensure a clean edge, solid balance, and reliable performance whether you’re using it in the kitchen, out in the field, or adding it to your collection.
The handles are designed not just for looks, but for comfort and control. From natural wood to resin and bone finishes, every piece is selected to give you a secure grip and a premium feel in hand.
Before shipping, each knife is checked to make sure it meets our standards. While every piece has its own unique character, we make sure the quality and functionality remain consistent across every order.
Whether you’re buying it for everyday use or as a gift, you can expect a knife that’s built to last and made to be appreciated.
Yes. Every Hunt Craft knife is made to be safe when used and handled properly.
Our knives are built with solid construction, secure handles, and well-balanced designs so they feel stable and controlled in your hand. Each piece is carefully checked before it’s packed, lightly oiled, and protected for safe delivery.
Like any sharp tool, it should be handled with care and kept out of reach of children. With proper use and basic care, it’s a reliable tool you can trust.
We focus on quality over mass production, using strong steels and natural handle materials that give every knife its own character.
Each knife is built to feel right in your hand, hold its edge, and last. From careful finishing to precise engraving, nothing is rushed.
It’s simple we make knives you’ll actually use and keep.
Hunt Craft knives are made to last. With heat-treated steel and solid construction, they’re built to handle real use - not just sit on a shelf. Take care of them, and they’ll stay sharp, reliable, and part of your kit for years.
It starts with how you plan to use it.
For everyday use, an all-purpose knife is a solid choice. For hunting or tougher tasks, a fixed blade works best. If you want something easy to carry, go with a folding knife.
Comfort matters too - it should feel right in your hand.
If you’re unsure, feel free to reach out. We’re always happy to help you find the right knife.
Keeping your Hunt Craft knife in top condition is simple.
Clean and dry it after each use, especially if it’s exposed to moisture. Apply a light coat of oil to the blade to prevent rust and keep it smooth.
Use a sharpening stone or honing tool regularly to maintain a sharp edge. Avoid cutting on hard surfaces like glass or stone, as it can damage the blade.
Store it in a dry place, preferably in its sheath or box.
With a little care, your knife will stay sharp, reliable, and ready for years to come.
